more food and fun - time for an art party!

my birthday was several months ago, but it was just recently that i got to use one of my gifts - an art party at monroe street studio, where i work part time as art events coordinator. the studio owner (and my good friend) yana generously gave me this experience, and i loved it.

first, i took myself to red kimono to try the kfcc (korean fried crispy chicken) and vegetarian gimbab.

then it was wine and that fantastic garlicky cheese dip yana makes and plenty or paint and praise for us being bold and showing ourselves through our color choices.
