In early December 2003, I got a phone call while I was at work from Liz from the Penny McCall Foundation. She told me I'd been selected as one of the winners for their 2003 grants. I didn't really believe it, but three days later the mailman came with a hand-written check, and the turn of events for my finances couldn't have been better. Ironically, I had given notice at my job only three days before I got the call! So for the last four months I've worked on art full time, which is why I'm finally getting some new stuff done. Thank you PMF!
