Hi Neighbor!

My husband, Scott, recently started taking art classes at Studio Incamminati in Philadelphia.  Never say it's too late to try something new!

What has really been extra fun about Scott "stepping out of his box" is that it has really inspired the entire family to step out of our own boxes and join him in the art world.  We have been attending many more art shows and gallery openings -- many of which are displaying works of art by artists we now know personally, which is incredibly fun!  We do a lot in Philadelphia, but we also go to many galleries right here on the Main Line.  Many of the artists displaying their work are professionals, but many others are simply dabbling or enjoying a side hobby.  There are so many incredibly talented people in our area!  And so many wonderful galleries.  Take some time one weekend and check out the amazing talent - it really is a fun time!

And if you are interested in taking a peek at Scott's work, or learning more about Studio Incamminati, just click the links below!
