(ESPAñOL ABAJO)

Good Morning to all of you. This is a joyous moment to share, my mother just finished the first set of Prints created for Kickstarter.  I love what she has done and I thank her so much for it. The image she gravitates to, this lonely chair, has been transformed from a painful one into something with promise -- something of beauty and something I ponder.  I thank you for taking a look.

From Oaxaca, where I hope I will be mailing you these prints very soon. Tin         

     

     

                  

Buenos día gente. Estoy contento porque mi madre acaba de terminar la primer serie de grabados que creó para Kickstarter. Me gusta mucho lo que ha hecho y estoy muy agradecido con ella. La imagen que desarrolla es la de esta silla solitaria que se ha transformado de algo doloroso en algo bello en la memoria. Les doy las gracias por verlos.

Desde Oaxaca, donde muy pronto espero mandarles estos grabados. Tin
