I have been accepted as an Associate Member of the
Manhattan Arts International Association

One of my favorite people, Renee Philips, is Founder, Director, and Editor of Manhattan Arts International. Since entering two online shows I have learned more about both my art and about writing.

So I was pleased to learn yesterday I was accepted as an Associate Member. This is an excellent opportunity for my art to get more exposure and for me to devote time also to my writing.
