STUDIO TALK

11:00 - noon
Sept. 6 & 7
FREE
Fagan will share how her mother Pauline comes in dreams to inspire her to complete their soul mate connection, by painting and designing fabrics for home decor and clothing.
"Mom first started talking to me in dreams after she passed away in '89. It took me a long time to understand the meaning and purpose. The idea that we share a purpose with a soul mate gives deeper meaning to life."
