A Look At Jim Brunelle's Studio 11a

Recently with the opening of "Art On The Line" in the Main gallery, Jim was motivated to completely re-do his own studio which can be found on the first floor. I mean, company was coming to FVAC and Jim and Michael knew drastic measures were in order to zap the studio into guest ready mode.
