I could have chatted for hours with these ladies - also met at the Compass fundraiser. Monnda (on the left) is a metal smith and folk artist http://thejoyfuljewel.blogspot.com/). Known as "Chatham Granny," she organized the first Orange County Open Studio Tour some 19 years ago - creating visibility for local artists' work. Markie (on the right) is an art lover and supporter of the Compass Center. She is in awe of her own children and each stage of their growth. She's also a fan of the blog "Humans of New York!"
