Pear Tree – April 2024

Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta and Antonia Pancel-Cipric, Barron Arts Center

“I’ve only been interested in the artistic side of life.” — Elton John

March has been a dream month, and a very artistic one! My presentation for “Going Going Gone” was held at Barron Arts Center to a full audience. If you missed it, it was filmed by Woodbridge TV and you can see it here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G–92xnsUCc&t=2s

I also had the honor to write about another Ty Stephens show, making it the third time in my career writing about this legendary artist!

And, I got to meet the cool chicks who run Lady and the Shallot at the Trenton Market for a feature I wrote honoring women business owners.

Life continues to be amazing with my dream careers in journalism and speaking!
