Nancy hosts the Orange County Mixed Media Artists (OCMMA) group, which is more of a creative get-together than a traditional class. Artists gather once a month to inspire and encourage each other by sharing what they’ve been working on. Each artist brings their own materials/projects, and often share materials they don’t need any longer that may be of interest and useful to someone else. It’s a fun way to get together with other artists in a creative and encouraging atmosphere without having to take a traditional class or workshop.
