Meet new member Vera Gierke! 🤩
"I love taking one form of printed material and converting it into an entirely new image. Something catches my eye, a scene, an image, a photo, and I begin to transform it in my mind into a collage.

Welcome to EPAC Cindy!🥳
Cindy's an intuitive painter and collage artist; she approaches each canvas as a blank slate, applies layers of media & color in a spontaneous, intuitive way. She loves abstract painting--it's transformative, tells a story, and opens up new worlds.
