Hi. I’d like to thank all of you who stopped by and visited my exhibition that was on display for the month of February, 2018. I was happy to sell a number of pieces and to have many people tell me that my art makes them smile! That gives me the encouragement to continue to produce my artwork.
If you missed my event and would like to purchase any artwork, please look at the work on my website and let me know which one or ones you would like!
I have never been to China but would love to go. Here is a collage based on various images viewed over the web and set in a unique collage. I hope to visit China sometime soon.
