THANK YOU to the DC taxpayers and DC's Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development for awarding me with a COVID-19 Emergency microgrant. I appreciate it as I continue my 20th consecutive year working and living in DC and living entirely off the sales of my paintings. THANK YOU also to my facebook friends for following my art all these years since 1994. Matt Sesow and Dana Ellyn
