Welcome to the Art Blog home page. Art blog is largely a visual journal of inspiring art, artists and creatives; people who inspire my life and my craft.
There may a bit of politics thrown in. Nudge. Wink.
This journal is my way of educating myself, sifting through the difficult issues, and visualizing a better world. See a bit more about Kathryn here.

Please never stop advocating for the disenfranchised and for the future generations of our world.
