“Fine Arts gives us the opportunity to feel a part of each artist’s journey and inspires us to take a journey of our own. We all have a creativity that needs to be accessed and then explored. It starts with an appreciation, an opportunity, and a community that allows and promotes the creativity of artists to shine. Personally, I support artists in my family and in our community through local events. I am a member of the board at VFAA because I decided to take my appreciation and support for art to another level. VFAA has a long history of adding value to our community by fostering, supporting, and creatively influencing art appreciation, and I am honored to align with our mission for the future artists of Victoria.
