How wonderful it is to have art bring you together with great and creative people. Peggy (right) & Kate (middle) and I met in 2004 when Kate had opened her studio for the OVAC studio tour. Kate began opening her studio monthly for artists "Play Date" with the help of sidekick Peggy, and play we did. Something fun every month: monoprint, silkscreen, image transfer, vegetable & fish printing, dying & bleaching & rusting fabric and more, more, more. I loved the freedom to play and experiment around people who were encouraging instead of judgemental. And Peggy's attitude of "what might happen if we try this?" was contagious to all participants and we were anxious to try new materials & techniques. "Play Date" may be over, but friends and art go on.
