Look who visited KAS today! โœจ
We had the pleasure of welcoming artist Eleanor Lowden to the store and spending a little time chatting art with her and KAS instructor Connie Geerts Connie Geerts. Eleanorโ€™s a long-time customer who now lives in Toronto. If you donโ€™t already know her work, go take a peek at Eleanor Lowden Canadian Artist. You wonโ€™t be disappointed! ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ’•
