Welcome to Cynthia Shaver Asian Art Appraiser May 2020 Newsletter,
Thank you for reading my newsletter. The last month I experimented with different social media, you will see when you click on the link below.
Thank you to those who wrote me to let me know you are safe during this world pandemic. I will carry on, staying calm, and very grateful for the wonderful art and people in my life. A very special greeting to those in Japan and Italy, continue to stay safe.
