Summer Hours/New Art!

We’ve recently returned to our regular hours at Anita’s Beads: Open 10-5 (12-5 Sundays); Closed on Tuesday and Wednesday. These hours will remain in effect until the end of December.

Visit the tumblr site to see the new paintings and collages just posted. This past winter was a very productive one for art!

The collage painting above titled CBC-X Mandala (30×30) is a personal favorite. The most popular on tumblr so far is the 8×8-inch collage shown below called Polka Dots/Red Line.
