I encourage you to shop around, and I can provide ball-park figures on the phone.  I welcome your inquiries.</b></font></p> <center> <p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular" color="black"><b>Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco Bay Area, East Bay, northern California</b></font></p> <p><font face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><b>Artist's website: </b></font><a href="https://www.sharonhudson.com" target="_top"><font color="black" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><b>www.sharonhudson.com</b></font></a></p> <p><font color="black" face="Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular"><b>2020</b></font></center> </body>
