One of my strategies for survival is to connect and communicate about my work in a variety of positive venues. This evening, sponsored by The Maine Center for Creativity (MCC), was my latest public foray.
Creativity display. My daughter Morrigan came and helped me set-up. Colleen, my wife, joined us once the event had started. This photo shows the display I pulled together for the evening.
