This is gonna be fun times, folks!

One of my dioramas is going to be included in a group show by Arts Umbrella staff members at Ainsworth Custom Design! Show opens February 5th and runs until the end of the month. There are some seriously talented folks involved, so pop by Granville Island and check it out (plus you can get a yummy spinach and feta-stuffed bagel in the market… mmmmm).

Looky what we saw!
