Margaret Welty Art


Margaret Welty is a California-born artist and college educator who is on a mission to bring the deep benefits of regular creative visual expression to everyone in the world. She is a long-time client for whom I have played many roles. When I first met her, she was full of enthusiasm and ideas, but was unsure how to funnel them into a cohesive and effective platform.

Here are the highlights.
