April was a busy month for Gay. She was honored by having two paintings selected in two different fine art shows and at the end of the month she was elected president of the In-Town Gallery. Gay enjoys helping the gallery strive toward continued success in challenging times. She is also the Hanging Chairperson so she gets to arrange the gallery every 6 months when the members all bring in new work. Her new work in the International Inspirations gallery was inspired by a volunteer trip to Peru in April and May.
