During this one day event, I will have on display a selection of reproductions for sale (printed on archival paper) of my paintings relating to Pacifica/GGIE. I look forward to celebrating the 80th very special milestone! It's been a pleasure to visit the Treasure Island Museum and gather with their lovely crew over the past 5 years, and attend its terrific curriculum of monthly events - a magical place where I've met so many of you enthusiastic GGIE lovers!
