FTC Music Division’s concert: VOICES OF FTC was a huge hit! Prof. Kristi Adams introduced the lineup that included the College Choir, Chamber Singers & Combined Choirs -all led by Director Ken Friese and the Accompanist was Prof. Kelly Horsted. The Offbeats-a student run group directed by Ash Cahn and Accompanist Prof. Anthony Vetere also performed. The concert was enjoyed by all who attended! Congrats on a successful event!@fivetownscollege @ftc_events @ftcsoundstream @fivetownscollegemusic #fivetownscollege #ftcsoundtalent

New artwork! This is 2/3 in this nurse/floral trio for my bestie. Still trying to get the hang of color pencils…my heart is with graphite/charcoal. But this is different and fun for sure! 👩🏼⚕️🌸

Hi all! I’m alive! 🫀 This @prismacolor colored pencil piece is one of a set of three pieces I am commissioned to do for my best friend!
These pieces have been challenging since I am a beginner with colored pencil (y’all know I love my graphite hyperrealism)
But I’m so happy with how they are turning out so far! Stay tuned for the other two pieces to this collection!🤍
