Steve Jorgensen, whose work can often be seen at the Old House at Center & Main, is back with us again this year. Here is a piece he did during this week’s inclement weather. He is not only an an amazing artist, but he and Cathy are also great patrons of the arts. We wish them a happy anniversary and thank them for spending it here!
