Art work by Anastasia Maertens
|
Artist: A graduate of the School of the Worcester Art Museum, Anastasia says her inspiration "transpires primarily from nature and textiles."
In this series she decided to revisit her use of charcoal drawings; she chose to draw on a smaller scale to become "more
familiar with a few of the birds, insects and plants" that she has always loved.
ARTISTS:
Art Work Pick Up: Monday, June 18, 4-6 PM
