A first peek at the results from our recent fund drive!

Thanks to everyone (furry or not) who participated!

We were able to raise a really nice amount of money for the wonderful 

V.E.T.S.S. Good Sam Fund and managed to have a fantastic time too!

View Oscar's story here as an inspiration why this fund can be helpful. 
Luckily he had so many supporters that he did not need to be helped by this fund, but there are countless critters who are in need of emergency care who do depend on the Good Sam Fund when they are hurt. Thanks to V.E.T.S.S and the many people who have contributed to the fund and who continue to make it grow!

Thanks to everyone for happily sitting and smiling so well!

We hope to host another event like this some time in the future.

See you all soon and thank you again from all of us!

Atelier 1 & Atelier 2 -- coming in January:

Things are taking shape. I am beyond the mind boggling stage of what-ifs and everything is falling into place.
We are officially moving and expanding into the adjacent space on Allied Street!

 The front of the new store will house a working gallery/studio occupied by Stephen Endres, a Master Portrait Artist based in Charlottesville. You'll be able to visit him there, see his new work, and follow his creative progress. His work & skills are awesome, I think you'll really enjoy his studio. He'll be there by appointment or by chance, your pick.

The rear of the new space will house our expanding workshop and I myself will move my studio into the back of the main part of La Linea Bella so I can start working on your commissions and other art again -- and catch up on some one-on-one time with the other side of my brain.

We're really excited and are looking forward to putting the connecting doorways back in.
(Thanks in advance to my wonderful & skilled other half who has been by my side helping me plan this move and who has graciously agreed to aid in the remodeling process!)

All of these buildings on Allied were connected at some time and you can completely tell that they are beckoning to be re-connected. There is a tremendous creative energy over in this area, I hope you'll come and check it out some time. Word is that there is a great new consignment clothing store moving next door (Welcome Melissa!) to join the rest of the creative clan at McIntire Plaza.

More info to follow as we begin moving and expanding the gallery.

Happy Holidays! Much work to do, rolling up my sleeves.
Growth and more (creative) growth. Always a welcome thing!
