Walk and Talk!

Several artists at the North Shore studio joined me for a special Walk and Talk! this week. Please enjoy our Thanksgiving feast fantasy!

Question proposed:

“If we were to host an amazing Thanksgiving dinner-totally fictional- but amazing nonetheless-who would you invite? One guest per person but no limits on who it could be; this person can be fictional, famous, deceased, etc.”

List based on artist responses:
