Well, the hustle and rush is done at last. The cards are sent; the gifts are mailed, and friends are duly missed. To all my past students, you have made a huge impact in my life. The gifts you have given me, the ways you have touched me cannot be numbered or even described. I would not be precisely who or where I am without you.

In these coming winter months, you will be with me in the quiet of my studio. Your gifts will come through my heart and out my hands onto the paper. You will be in all that I paint.

Thank you so very much for being you.

Merry Christmas,
Kate
