I have been a busy bee recently and have a few events that you may be interested in, especially if you are in San Diego, CA.
If you are not in the San Diego area, you can join me on the journey through my blog posts (although those always come later than the event).
I would love you to come and experience these, but I know you are all busy.
So, rather than just tooting my own horn about the awesomeness of me to get you to come to these events, I am going to tell you
what's in it for you!These events are in chronological order.
Current/Upcoming events:

What's in it for you:
- See the diversity of work from the San Diego Women's Caucus for Art members.

I would love for you to join me! ~ Jaime Lyerly
