“I am happiest when I'm making art. Drawing and painting are some of my favorite things. I look for colors that make my flowers POP just like they do in the garden.” - Sheree Violet
Be sure to also check out a collection work from Chris Milk on display in his studio window right next door! Pieces from both artists will be available for purchase through Quirk Gallery all month long!
