Vagas in July 2018
I will be going to Las Vagas at the end of July with award winning designer Collien Driscoll of Driscoll
Interior Design to take in the Las Vegas Market. Collien is a Best of Houzz Award Recipient for 2016,
2017, and 2018. Seeing the art displayed in the market showrooms can be inspirational, as well as
motovating. It will not only give me some insight on marketing art, but also provide new contacts for
possible outlets for my art.
