    1. I am so glad you liked it Joanna. It is a challenge for me to look for and to showcase artists like her that have not been promoted enough as they should have and that have contributed to art history. Not all art is made by the famous ones. I was not introduced to most of these artists while in art school at uni, and I really do not understand why… Thank you so much!
