Really amazing art pieces. I am in awe…
melissa and i go back to the warehouse days in 1981 artistically. she’s about the most creative person i know. and she’s getting a world-wide rep in the paper art world.
Woooww… I want to see this. I love that people create things I can’t even imagine.
This is awesome. Thanks for the super photos..
I will try to get to see this when I am there sometime this month.
thank you
She blew me away with her work this morning. Such a fine morning. Thank you for bringing me this joy.
Dear Melissa and Pamela,
what a wonderful collection of works and ideas,
congratulations.
we just dismantled Lynn Sures Istanbul pulp painting exhibition.
God knows we would like to have you in the future
to inspire Turkish art world to what you are doing.
enjoy life in good health,
cordially,
oz
Thanks, Smiths and everyone. Oz, I would love to come to Istanbul!
Wow, I really hope I can see this! Phenomenal stuff. Will this show travel to another venue after Cleveland?
