What are some ways that you like to show your appreciation for art?
I am always listening to a variety of music from local talent. I love to support our local theatre companies by going to shows. I also enjoy visiting our local farmers markets to purchase handmade local items.
How does art support you in your life?
It is my outlet. It allows me to be vulnerable. Art allows me to be creative and to take risks. Somethings I share, while other works I keep for myself or for those near and dear to me.
