James Bearden, Maquette and Stephanie O'Neal

We received a post card at the office (who says nobody uses direct mail?) and it was inviting us to a Maquette Sale for sculptor James Bearden.  A Maquette?  We made contact with Stephanie O'Neal the publicist for James and invited her to the studio to talk about the August 21 event, the historic home in which it will take place and more.  Enjoy! Insight on Business the News Hour with Michael Libbie is heard Monday - Friday from 5PM to 6PM on 1350-KRNT, Des Moines.  Connect with us on Twitter @IoB_NewsHour and, for more fun, here is our Facebook Page.
