is the inspiration for this magazine issue.

As we navigate the fast-paced current of life, it becomes more important than ever to pause and truly see the beauty around us. In this issue, we introduce you to four local artists who bring color and vibrancy to the Charlotte landscape with their craft.

As always, we hope this issue inspires you to explore, to discover, and most importantly, to enjoy.

Warmly,

Lynn Leary
