Streamlining

"My husband and I are now down to one car (hybrid), have donated a houseful of unnecessary odds and ends, buying local and I am walking to work, it feels great! My Junctionview Gallery will be ready soon in June and I am looking forward to hearing what my colleagues and the public think of my work on an ongoing basis." more news in the coming weeks

Moving

Soon to be running a small studio space at Junctionview, Sypsa is currently moving into a permanent live/workspace in the heart of downtown Columbus on East Rich Street.

"I am leaving a beautiful 1930's house (now for sale) in the suburbs in an attempt to streamline and simplify so as to focus on my art making. I will be using my Junctionview studio as an off-sight gallery space and will be working from my home studio on Rich Street"..
