Josephine Allen was introduced to art in high school. Her hunger for art has led her to visit galleries and museums ever since graduation. She studied Takwando and she took classes in Basket Making, Stained Glass, Writing, and Photography. When she took a class in Acrylics she was hooked. Her first Acrylic was of friend’s dog. She also enjoys the other classes Yaquina Art Association offers. This year’s show will feature Cats, Birds, Dogs and Nature.
