I have your book as well and have found it to be so well researched and such a huge help to so many artists. It was a huge gift to us and we artists working in encaustic are extremely grateful.<br />I guess my concern is Katelizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305806621419208589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-70262241457261985652009-09-21T23:38:33.459-04:002009-09-21T23:38:33.459-04:00Kateliz,

However I am wondering if you are unaware of the percent for art to be found in many states, New York State and Oregon, from my personal experience. On the topic of funding for the arts, do you plan to comment on the current debate on the roll of the NEA in calling for the creation of political art for Obama?Katelizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305806621419208589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30832682.post-15943205615946694882009-09-17T23:20:51.341-04:002009-09-17T23:20:51.341-04:00Fabulous post!
