Several artists will be in attendance on April 6th. Such as:
Wendy Newman uses her original photographs, deconstructs the images and reconstructs them into a mandala design; creating high-quality hand-rolled silk scarves, reverse umbrellas, kimonos, and leggings for museums, resorts, wineries, cities, and events.
Philip DeAngelo offers a distinctive view of the world through his minimalist landscape paintings. Philip’s paintings always start with a unique texture. In his work it is the surface that dictates the flow of the composition.
