  • Monarch and Milkweed, Watercolor on paper by Holly Fritchman

    Fritchman describes "each art experience as a gift of time...every time I pick up my brush or pencil, I see something new." Balancing the fine detail of watercolor and pencil with the looseness of oil painting keeps her energized and curious.
