This year I am presenting artwork from my project "The Psychology of Smoking and Quitting" - a project I started about a year ago to help free me from a 20+ year old addiction to nicotine . I am displaying artwork I created from my own cigarettes and poems by a fellow quitter MIss Puppy. Come by and support me. On Artomtaic night I will be free from nicotine exactly 10 months!

To help me stop smoking I burnt and stained watercolor paper with nicotine dye as a metaphor for what I cannot see - the potential damage I have done from half a lifetime of smoking.
