Autumn is here!

Welcome to Autumn!

NEW BEGINNINGS!

We celebrate a new nationwide attitude of sharing and genuine listening, along with inclusive necessary social changes.

As artists, we are often blessed with an inner vision from the soul of our being, which we attempt to capture and express on canvas.
