I have a Mary Akers original

"Foo Fee" by Mary Akers

I love art. I have a few original paintings by artists I admire. In November, I landed a Pamela Allen postcard from Virginia Spiegel's FiberArt for a Cause.

Tonight surpasses it all. At our "White Elephant" gift exchange, I was able to steal this from my good friend Sharon (I think she is still my friend). It is a piece by Mary Akers. Mary is an incredible artist and I am proud to have a piece of her work hang in my house!

I met Mary while taking Laura Cater-Woods workshop at Fiber on a Whim. Mary, like myself, found her art completely changed after the workshop. Powerful stuff.
