PWAS Member Artist Danielle Bancroft. Danielle has her artwork wired so that it can be hung horizontally or vertically PWAS Member and Photograper / Artist, Otis Stanley - thank you for the journey! Well, that's the show, folks. It is up at the ARTfactory until June 15 so get by the gallery and see the works up close and personal. You honestly cannot appreciate the work fully until you have it right in front of you. Art must be experienced in person to feel it and to see the true texture, its size, the real colors, and to let it speak to you.
