That describes the alumni
work featured in this blog post. Creativity and innovation are in demand in

passions. I’m inspired to pay a little more attention to my creative side by
these alums.

You need to visit Brandi’s web site to study her work. She has been featured in numerous juried shows in the San Francisco, CA, and Jackson Hole, WY. Brandi says the painting to the left titled, "The Yard’s Full of Yaks 2.0," was inspired by rock cairns she saw on a trip to TIbet. Her online gallery includes mostly oil paintings, but she has recently expanded into jewelry.
Ariela Bonen started her company, RBK Creations, while
looking for work in the Dallas area a few years ago. With the true spirit of an
entrepreneur, she and her mother, Brenda, opened a shop on Etsy where you can
check out her original bouquets, boutonnieres, and other button inspired work. Her most recent work is featured at flickr.
