When perusing the artworks on the site, I was struck by the cleverness and the beauty of this work. I knew right away that I would like to have it, and so, I was thrilled when Austin agreed to make me the adoptive parent of STACKED. However, I was not prepared for the shock of seeing the actual work. The piece is more elegant than I had realized.
This has been an extremely positive experience for me. Furthermore, I hope to follow Austin's career. She is a very talented woman.

this email tells it all:

Dear Austin,

The drawing just arrived, and I am thrilled. It is lovely, lovely,
lovely! And I had not known that it would arrive framed! Tomorrow I shall find a place of honor for it. I will enjoy it for its own powers and forits connection to the FAAN program. I think FAAN is such a swell idea. Please allow me to reimburse you for your expenses. I am sorry that you had to go to the trouble of packing and shipping the work, but I am very grateful to you for making that effort. I hope you will keep me posted on your art activities. And let me know
if you are headed up to Westchester for any reason. It would be swell to meet you.
