I am pleased to announce that I am continuing my association with the Sovereign Collection Gallery at 716 SW Madison Ave and the expanded gallery around the corner on SW Broadway. Curator Robert Joki has accumulated an extensive collection of regional and national artists from the 19th, 20th and 21st century. I am delighted to be represented within such a distinguished collection.
