Do you know something I enjoy doing yet haven’t done as often as I’d like here at
7-Imp? <\/p>\n

Pass out snacks? Why, yes. If I could pass out actual<\/em> snacks, I would. But another thing is to feature local talent. Local, as in local to me, of course. Meaning, middle Tennessee. The Nashville area. <\/p>\n

And I’m here to do that today. <\/p>\n

Yup, it’s 7-Imp Local Talent Sunday. <\/p>\n

This means that this morning I welcome author\/illustrator Susan Eaddy<\/a><\/strong>—who works in clay and also worked as an Art Director in educational book publishing for nearly ten years—and watercolor illustrator Mary Uhles<\/a><\/strong> (that’s her illustration pictured left), who has been doing illustrations for children for over a decade. I had the pleasure of meeting both of them recently and even got to visit Susan’s wonderful art studio in her home — with my amazed daughters in tow. (They were impressed with her lovely studio and all the art in it, but they were also amazed that Susan has a spacious, cozy lair just for her cat<\/em>. They still<\/em> talk about this. I must also add that Susan makes a wicked good cup of coffee.) <\/p>\n

Susan makes fun videos, too. See Bad Bunny<\/em> above? He’s got his own movie: <\/p>\n
