Dear Clients and Friends,

You are on my mind as I navigate returning to my business after being closed for  six months.


It is a lot to process.


Every week for the past 24 weeks I have paid attention to what I can do in order to be prepared to reopen, to advocate for reopening, to apply for funding to keep Swans Studios solvent and to do my best to keep you informed.


Now I am open.


Please know I am doing what I can to accommodate you.  


Please be patient.  


This is a new normal and we will get through this together.


In order to have the best practices for health and safety here is what you may expect going forward.
