This is Suzy’s fused panel of her husband standing outside the temple in Ashland. One of my newest panels on display at Art Presence through April FLOWERS OF HOPE Workshop

Everyone is artistic in some way. Just because you don’t paint with a brush or can’t draw a straight line…(that’s what they make rulers for)…everyone can create something. First, you have to BELIEVE that you can!
