Flashes & Strokes: a Tale of Two Mediums

The digital and traditional arts are thriving in San Diego. From newer, technology based media like photography and digital art to more traditional art, there is so much to see, explore and learn from in Southern California. Through our Flashes and Strokes series, we’d like to celebrate artists from both worlds: traditional and digital.

I have been thinking quite a bit on which way I want my business to go. What I have found is that my passion is plants. Rope and plants make me happy. I love making homes for plants. There are some big changes coming soon. I hope you join me for the ride! . . . . . . . #macrameplanthanger #macrameplantholder #macramewallhanging #bigthings #smallbusiness #sandiego #smallbusinessowner #plant #plantart #plantdesign #plantlady #handmade #ganxxet
