The (In)Famous (Anti) Valentine Show 

Exhibit opens January 27th & runs through February 17th


I'm showing 2 pieces that I call VISUAL POETRY. 

During the 90s I began writing with found words clipped from magazines, after taking a 13 week course called THE ARTIST WAY. I layered them over my watercolor paintings for the first time.


It's fun to see the many interpretations of love by local artists!
