“Each day I come to work at Gallery 104, I am in awe of the beautiful artwork surrounding me and the generosity of the volunteer artists, board and AAOC members who are so willing to help me do this job. I love greeting guests at the gallery who share that amazement when I tell them that we are a nonprofit and brief them about our amazing artists, classes and events that we offer.”
