I want to thank all who attended my presentation Wednesday evening. I had a great time and hope to see you in the future. My open studio hours are Thursdays from 4 to 6, but feel free to email me at chickman@uoregon.edu if that time doesn’t work for you.
Also, remember my print give away. I am putting three of my pictures in the windows of the AiR studio each week and the first three people who contact me, either by email or in person, can have a picture. You will need to come by the studio to see the pictures. That way you can identify which one you want. The first person gets their first choice, the second person their choice from the remaining two, etc. If you get one of the pictures, you will need to pick it up from me in person when the next set of pictures goes up the following week. Normally new pictures go up Monday evening or Tuesday morning.
