"I learned so much being a part of Space One Eleven at a level of experience I would not have been able to attain in any college class or workshop. It was almost a familial experience with Peter and Anne and I miss them dearly! I will never forget the time I spent there and I am greatly appreciative of the opportunity I was granted to experience a part of the art world that is rarely seen by students."
