On Thursday, November 6, from 4:00 to 6:30 pm, come and check out a free open house event featuring sculptor Ramona Louise’s new work, Reflective Figures.

These amazing female figures are beautiful, and reveal details of Ramona’s growth, change, challenge, and acceptance. Her art represents beautiful, mature women who have experienced life richly, felt pain, endured hardship, and risen to joy.

These lovely women have been tucked into Lezlie Laws small garden at LifeArt Studio, 1289 Harmon Avenue, Winter Park, FL 32789.

Refreshments will be provided by Black Dog Café and Catering.
