Meet Beth

I am pleased to introduce Beth Holladay. Beth does the photography and web postings. She also works full-time teaching art, producing newsletters, and performing other duties at Preston Arts Center just down the road. In just a few hours each Sunday afternoon she has been able to make a transformation in our internet presence.

So, why not check out her bike!

Also of note is the recent addition of studio lighting and background equipment to kick the photos up quite a few notches. Thanks Beth!
