Lets get to know our members - Weekly

It is so Important to know other artists and connect with them. Where else would we get ideas and inspiration? Books and movies are great but the excitement of seeing other artists at work is priceless. So going alphabetically through all the Georgia WCA members is this weekly post's goal.
