I am culminating an incredible month at Elsewhere Studios feeling inspired, refreshed and renewed. I spent the month working on new drawings, exploring Paonia and getting to know the many wonderful people who make Paonia a truly creative and progressive town. I will truly miss being here! Love and peace, Gwen Shockey
