New Art and New Artists at The Gift Shop

The Gift Shop is never the same from week to week. We get new art and new artists all the time. This week we will look at the artwork of Darlene Urbanek, Armando Madrazo, and Pete Wardrope.

Darlene Urbanek is a popular artist here at The Gift Shop. Her animal portraits are especially desirable.
