‘Yes I Use a Rule” Artist Talk with Diana Cadwallader

‘Yes I Use a Rule” Artist Talk with Diana Cadwallader Diana Cadwallader, or Ms. C as she is affectionately known, gave an artist talk this afternoon to coincide with the closing of her show — From Celestial Tartans to Mary's Mantles.

SPE 2017, Orlando

I think the hotel location was bad -- there was nothing within walking distance, and attendance was definitely below average. Highlights Awarded a SPESC Travel [...]

AIGA Vegas

2016 AIGA Design Conference Oct 17-19, 2016 @ The Mirage Las Vegas Las Vegas, Nevada My first AIGA conference is a wrap.
