Behind the Lens
At the gallery, we get lots of questions. The most frequent questions are about the artist and the technique used, of course. Those queries are easy to answer. But people also want to know about the pictures we use on the announcements. We’ve learned that many of our fans are keeping a collection of those mailings, and admire our graphics.
