  • I have worked with Shauna Lee Lange over the years for the Torpedo Factory Art Center's Target Gallery. Shauna Lee had art work in our "BookEnds" exhibition, which was a collaborative exhibition between Target Gallery and Pyramid Atlantic Art Center. She served as juror for two different exhibitions in the Target Gallery, and she served as an arts expert on an art collector's panel for a special event, Cultivate your Taste for Art, at the Torpedo Factory Art Center. She is extremely professional, highly competent, presents well and is a wonderfully compassionate woman. It has been wonderful working with her in these different capacities and I am sad that she has moved away from the DC area. I know that she will make some wonderful things happen wherever she resides. She has incredible passion for what she does and a great supporter of the arts.
