Hidden In Plain View
The new gallery show at Graham Gallery features an artist we haven’t seen before in this area, Patric Jernigan. He lives in Plainview, Texas.

The Fong’s vs. The Slugs
For the last two years we have planted a garden. We have learned what it is like to nurture seedlings in to full grown plants. We have stood along the fence night after night surveying our crops.
