Introducing... me By NANCY GREEN © St. Petersburg Times published February 25, 2002 National TV? Cool! Artwork by local students is scheduled to be featured as a backdrop during a song at the Grammy Awards. The artists and writers featured in today's Xpressions share something near and dear to their hearts: themselves. In words or pictures or sometimes both, the work shows who its creator is, inside out. Please consider sending your own creativity to be considered in Xpressions. -- NANCY GREEN, Xpressions editor PDF file 1 PDF file 2 *You will need the free Acrobat Reader from Adobe for viewing.
