Fran Downey-Smith
For the first time, as a ‘matured lady’, I attended various art classes in New Orleans over the past few years, while resident there. I was exposed to working with acrylics, pastels and oil and techniques such as pouring, mosaics, mixed media and painting from a picture. Artistic expression comes from within. It is a way of honoring God, our Father, who is the greatest creator. He made us each with a different fingerprint, because His creativity is infinite! So let’s create… it’s a form of worship! Thanks to Sherridean for encouraging me to see my work as valuable and worthy to be shown!
