Jodi Endicott to show work at Ferrin Gallery
Local artist Jodi Endicott has been invited to show her work this summer at the prestigious Ferrin Gallery in Lenox, Mass.
Endicott, a member of the Hawaii International Art Society and co-owner of the Balcony Gallery in Kailua, will show her paintings beginning July 21.
