Good Luck on 2^nd Studio Art Sale!  

 Veronica Funk’s goal as a painter is to create a sanctuary, an inviting place to be still, and to share the beauty of imperfection. Her images are an endeavour to convey joy: it is all around us in forms we may not see or appreciate. She will be hosting her 2^nd Studio Sale in November and December.
