As a southerner I am steeped in the culture of storytelling where all that we make and do is a story being told.  We celebrate who we are by showing who we are in all the many things we create.  As I have lived long and traveled wide, I am continually enticed by the narratives that are started when an artist creates.  Whatever form is used, that creator is telling us their story.  Whether a painting or vase made by one or a chair or quilt by many, I am compelled to keep their narrative going by sharing it with others.  So, I opened a gallery - 12 Pedal Junction - where the story continues each time a customer purchases one of these creations.  With each purchase we pay tribute to those who create, and the story continues.
