Dear Artschoolscammer Enthusiast,
Thank you for visiting my creative corner on the web. As an artist, I've poured my heart and soul into the pieces showcased here, spanning over a decade of passion and exploration. This platform serves as a living portfolio, documenting my artistic journey and the evolution of my craft. Each piece tells a unique story, reflecting my experiences, inspirations, and the ever-changing landscapes of art. You have also got a glimpse into my special community projects and collaborations in civic engagement. Behind the playful name lies a nod to the unconventional paths artists often tread. Undeniably the cog in the wheel and the screw that begins to botch everything up. I invite you to connect, share your thoughts, and join me in the ongoing conversation of my artistic expression. Whether you're an art enthusiast, fellow creator, or someone simply curious about what I do, your presence here is valued. Your support fuels my creative endeavors, and I'm grateful for every pair of eyes that takes a moment to appreciate the art. Enjoy your exploration of ArtschoolScammer, and may it inspire, provoke thought, and spark your own creative musings. You made it to my Resumé ….
Respectfully,
Denae Howard
