Already dozens of artists are working on their fantastic creations that they will generously donate. Check out the flamingos below. All will be up for adoption at this year's event! "Tiffany" was created by Ana Gosney. Ana is a craftswoman who creates jewelry, and paints on objects that are repurposed, recycled and upcycled. She has been a member of the Martinez Arts Association for 4 years and a happy volunteer.
Tiffany was born from pure imagination and love for stained glass and bright colorful designs.   "Pinkahontas" was created by Denise Hillman.
This brave and spirited Native American princess carries powerful totems such as the fox – representing diplomacy, wildness, and feminine magic of camouflage. Pinkahontas is sure to bring you good luck and happiness as a colorful & graceful guardian spirit. Denise’s creative pursuits include stained glass, painting and photography. She also serves on the Martinez Arts Assoc. Board of Directors. Her flamingo was inspired by the symbolism of Native American totems.    |
