Acclaimed artist, Monica Nuvamsa will share deeper insight to her more popular art pieces including four-part series called “A Journey of Life” and “Seasons of Change” which have both been made into puzzles, and swaddle blanket series called “First Blessings.” Through these pieces, the audience will learn what inspires the artist, her technique and connects to her spirituality and culture.
