| Hand-painted cards--watercolor and marker |
Certain pieces have been given as gifts, others sold, and several are simply collecting dust. A Grand Valley State University graduate with a B.S. in Communication Studies, I chose my only formal art training to come from the Hellenic International Studies in the Arts, a study abroad program on the island of Paros in Greece. Since my return in 2010, I have only accumulated a stronger desire to pursue this passion. Please enjoy:)
