Mary Filapek and Lou Ann Townsend added something to this year's Pocket Program that no artist in the past has thought to do. Instead of giving us a bio statement to reprint, they gave us a short, short story, a little autobiographical episode of two gals in the woods, with a coyote, and an abundance of echinacea. To find out what happened, pick up the Pocket Program at this year's 64th annual Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival, March 17, 18, and 19. Or, ask them yourself at booth 161. You can also find them online at MaryAndLouann.com. Here's a clip I found on YouTube.

Jewelry artist Lou Ann Townsend talks about the influence of her parents, ACC shows, and the impact a handmade object has.
