​JENN RABY ARTIST STATEMENT:
Every artwork I make is a journey that I take with my heart, body and my sense of wonder. With each of these journeys I experience firsthand the joy of making art and the excitement of watching it develop before my eyes. With art I enter into a magical world in which time seems to float on fluffy clouds and all things are possible. What a journey! Come join me I love to share.

You can choose to relax with a coffee or glass of wine and observe how the different layers are applied or let yourself be guided by Danielle and paint your own rusted object.
We will have time for interaction and questions following the demo.
