November Feature Wall Artist |
|
|
The Feature Wall in the gallery will be dedicated to the works of Tina Hobbs.
"My art is a collection of positive, beautiful experiences, from past to present, ultimately connecting my vision through life’s experiences. Finding beauty and inner peace in my playground, my studio, with Oil Painting, Acrylics, Watercolors, Inks, Spray paint, Graphite, and Charcoal, combining Collage and Texture. This experience has given me a newfound love of people, animals, urban landscapes, beautiful scenery, and the beauty of life through my eyes." Come take a peek if you haven't already. |
