The One and Only Meg Reilly: Our Featured...
Meg, Antonio and Alisa
This very special lady will be wearing two hats at the fundraiser on March 3. Not only is she one of Antonio’s beloved moms, she is a fabulous artist and photographer who will be showing her work and contributing a door prize.

Artist Profile #4: Molly Sieburg Courcelle
Memory Abides
I am so excited to have this next artist as part of this fundraiser…I have been crossing paths with Molly Sieburg Courcelle since college, when both of us were at Wake Forest. Molly is one of those people who can very succinctly be described as a kind soul…one whose talent comes as no surprise.

Artist #3: A Mini-Interview with Cheri Brackett
Next in our all-star lineup of artists is Cheri Brackett, a beautiful artist whose first ever showing was just at American Folk (not too shabby for a debut if I do say so myself!). I walked into the gallery and knew immediately that I wanted to invite her to participate in the auction. Luckily, she’s a kind soul, and instantly said yes!

Antonio's Army of Artists: Simone Wilson
Oh good grief, I’m real bad at doing this regular like….let me restate: I’m really bad at writing this blog regularly. Former English teachers have a hard time making fun with the language….no matter how much they hated their job. I remember my mom saying that one of her pet peeves was people spelling things incorrectly to be cute….I think this was because of a “Kountry Kitchen” or some such. ...
One More Fabulous Artist Added!

Art for Antonio
I don’t have all the details yet, but Starnes and I have something VERY exciting in the works and it involves this handsome fellow:
A couple of years ago, my friends Meg and Alisa met Mr. Antonio at a Lee Walker Heights Community Center photography class that Meg (a rock star photographer) was teaching. Anyone who has ever met Antonio knows that it doesn’t take long for him to win your...
