Hung and Ready

He asked her, “Are you ready?” and she coyly said to him, “I was born ready.” In about 20 minutes I hung 12 pieces in my friend Sheffield’s temporary gallery space on North Miami Ave. (3302 North Miami Avenue) The space is really big and will house not just art but beautiful vintage clothes.
