For Ren

As PaperMonster I do every ; paint, paste, cut, draw, photo, finish, fix, email, plan, etc. I do not trust anyone else to do what I do everyday but I have been extremely blessed to have Ren. Ren has been and continues to be my greatest support and helper at any events, show openings, talks; you name it she has been there!! Many of the photos of the site have been taken by Ren and I could not thank her enough for all of the help she has been. As artists ,whether we sell paintings or not is not important by having people who support and motivate you to do things bigger and better is what really matters. Thanks REN!!
