Featured Artist: Jane Dennis
A variety of materials in my studio helps me as I seek Painting satisfaction and Mixed Media thrills. I make many mistakes! I get off track and roam paths which become dead ends, but I believe in the value of making things, anything, so I silence my inner critic and push forward. Sometimes I make a piece I really like, sometimes I don’t, but it always feels worthwhile.
