Tomo is a local artist who has been recognized nationally and internationally.
Her fabric collage series utilizes mosaic-like techniques using paint and fabric. Hundreds of squares reminiscent of digital pixels compose an aggregate like a living organism.
She states: I restore my inner balance by an almost ritual-like creative process, praying to heal and reconnect a world that is broken in so many places.
You can see more of her work at tomomoriart.com,  but to witness it in person is inspirational.
Elddry is a Dominican-American-New Yorker, a parent and grandparent, teacher, published author, painter and poet.  Wales9071@gmail.com
