Stay tuned for updates throughout the month on the new and improved services the website can offer.

"Is it possible that the artist Elin Noble is a witch?
Is it just coincidence that the name of her elegant exhibition is "Color Alchemy"?
Alchemy, that medieval stepchild of science and magic in which gold is wrought from lead is the perfect metaphorical explanation for her exquisite fabric works."
