Margi Featured Artist on CPSA (Colored Pencil Society of America) Facebook page today.

Today I am the featured artist on CPSA's Facebook page: " Today's featured artist is CPSA member Margie Hopkins from Ohio. She has a very interesting website....great bio, shows her process, and her love of animals is evident. One of her portraits appeared on a recent cover of the Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association."

What an honor for myself and Meghan Hopkins who created and designed my logo and website.  If you wish to know more about Meghan and her freelance design, go to www.meghanhopkins.com
