Hello Everyone!
You are invited to come hang out for an hour with other cool folks, and express your creativity!
Art is good for the heart, mind, body, and soul. Join us!
April 2024
These classes are virtual classes, meaning you can join in from the comfort of your home!
For the month of April, we will focus on a variety of things: ink, watercolor, water-soluble markers, painted papers, and collage.
Each class, I offer guidance and instruction.
I also encourage you, as a participant, to go in your own direction, as you feel inspired to do so.
