What
a Wonderful Arizona Spring!
Justine wants
to thank everyone who came to Desert Textures Studio during the
Tour d'Artistes. She has been driving and walking through the
Arizona countryside near her home studio absorbing inspiration
from the glorious wildflowers and cactus that are blooming in
profusion this Spring.

with a palette, etching tool, and 4 x 6, 5 x 7, and 9 x 12” scratchboards.
Justine provides the complete array of pearlescent and acrylic
inks, liquid acrylics, brushes and source pictures for the students
to select.
