A Little About My Art Shows and Background
I love what I do and it makes me so happy to be able to share my passion with others. Since starting as a professional Art Instructor, I’ve been privileged to see so many students discover art and meditation and reach results they never dreamed were possible. People who consult with me also are more at ease buying figurative art, real and imagined or evocative landscapes for their homes or offices.
