With so much information coming at us from so many places these days, it is more important than ever that we do all we can to distinguish ourselves from our competition.

In this issue, we explore this topic in our recently published article Changing Landscapes; highlight our client, pianist Tien Hsieh, who is setting herself apart with an upcoming Carnegie Hall recital; and highlight two unique events - "Surviving & Thriving as a Woman Business Owner in a Male-Dominated Industry," and "Free for All at Town Hall," a free concert series in NYC.

Our Swimming Paintbrush division will also be exhibiting for the first time at the National Stationery Show in NYC May 18-21. We hope you can stop by if you are in the city! Details are below.

We hope you enjoy this issue, and as always, we welcome your thoughts!

Yours in prosperity,

Kathy Canfield Shepard, President
Canfield Design Studios, Inc.
