Norm Citron at the Spruill Gallery

Spruill Arts friend and supporter, Pattie Baker made a visit to the 
gallery this week to view the work of Norm Citron.  Below is an excerpt 
from her beautiful blog posting on FoodShedPlanet.com

...Indoors, the exhibit of work from students and teachers from the related Spruill Center for the Arts education center (which is attached to the public library a few blocks away) stuns me with its quality and diversity.

Yes, I realize immediately--that's Norm...
