View post →Hi, my name is Margaret Hurst, and I’m one of the eight artists of Studio 1482.  Yesterday I spent the day with the skaters in Central Park.  It was a beautiful day, sunny with blue skies.  The skaters were in their usual high spirits and high energy.  This particular skater with the helmet is new to […]
