Local Artist Quotes
"Most artists I know are introverts and work alone, so it can be difficult for us to connect with kindred souls. Working with fellow artists in my local arts community over the years, planning and participating in studio tours, fundraisers and cultural events, having fun at workshops, and volunteering on arts councils, has helped me to connect with wonderful, like-minded folk. I love that we understand each other and wholeheartedly cheer each other on and am grateful for the lasting friendships these activities have fostered."
