November Presenter John Milan
Thank you, John for a wonderful mixed media
presentation to GVAL! Your family of artists story is
quite amazing! Our group enjoyed observing how you
create your figurative abstracts. Your materials and methods were
new to many. Your drawings and paintings are intriguing. Some of
our GVAL artists were so inspired that they went right to work
trying out your methods. For those who want to learn more check
