"The 2025 Hearts A-Glowing theme definitely speaks to my sentiments around why I create art ... there is so much beauty in the world to capture on canvas or paper and it's always a delight to share my art with others who appreciate/delight in either viewing/collecting art in public and private venues.
Art helps build communities, families and individuals in so many nurturing ways.
It's an honour to be part of this festival ~~~ here's to many moments of enjoying the beauty that exists all around us, allowing our hearts to glow."

In Gratitude, Deborah
