When I first opened Poetry On Canvas an Art Gallery /Art Studio in Pleasanton, I was following a dream and beginning a point in my life where I was going to grow as an Individual and as an Artist. Art was my first love and the love I wanted to return to, once my children were at that stage where I didn't need to be at their elbows. This happened in 2007 and now in 2009 I have met those dreams and surpassed them all because of Networking with other Artists with like desires and a Passion to… Continue
