I asked for a Unicorn but Life gave me a Zebra

This show is a departure in every sense of the word from what you may have come to expect from Mary-Leigh.  With it she takes herself and the viewer on a quest. As her paintings took shape she seized the opportunity to realize a lifelong dream and has written a story around them. She has created her first children’s book…  for adults. Annette’s beautiful calligraphy completed the project and now they look forward to the possibility of a second book already in the works.
