The 3rd Exhibit of PrettyGreenBullet opens tomorrow...
.jpg)
This should be a good show! Here is what the artist says about her new exhibit, "I started PrettyGreenBullet.com four years ago thinking it was merely going to be a blog for posting my works. I'm happy to say that it's become something more consuming than that. It has wrapped itself around my life and been a great help in allowing me to express myself through more ways than simply drawing on paper or painting on canvas. And it has given natural birth to my PGB exhibitions. I invite you to take a bite of my PGB apple by joining me this November. Bon appetit!"
