    Thanks for introducing her. Looking at her stylized paintings, think I have seen her work before. Not fond of the exaggerated facial features. Still worthy of recognition.

    Some artists that I have not heard of I learned only from you. 😊 And I’m always thankful that you’re letting us know about them.
