Artists' Own welcomes Anne Parks as a new guest artist.

Much of her work is inspired by the flora and fauna from Prophetstown State Park and other local places. 

Although she works in - and can teach - most mediums, she is currently working in PanPastel.

Feeling the need to promote the importance of a natural balance, she creates art which depicts the beauty and mystery of our natural world.

Visit Artists' Own to see her work.
