3. A floral charity commission in NYC

   Friends! I finished my piano! This little lady represents about 100 hours of work, and more puffy paint “stitches” than I care to count. But it’s all in service of the amazing mission of @singforhope. If you’re in NYC, my piano will be one of about 50 that will be out and about to play on the city streets in June ❤️ I’ll keep you up to date as more details are available!
