Steve and Heather prepping some food and warmth for the night.  Their place is cozy and warm, full of life and I felt at home immediately.

Heather was awarded an art grant from the city of ward.  With it, she get's the use of this space for two years to work on her art and develop art programs for the community.  Heather's talent seems limitless and I know she'll do amazing things here.  The previous occupants did not do well there and left it needing much work.  She and Steve are working on it and getting it ready to work out of.
