All Presenters

Primary Arts Network thanks all the following for their contribution presenting sessions at one or more of our conferences or workshops.

Deb Mostart

My art practice is 25 years young and involves drawing, painting and lately, some sculpture. I believe in these uncertain days we need to have art that shows us that beauty, grace and truth still exist. I feel I am searching for ways to talk about these themes using gentle, offbeat narratives and a crisp aesthetic.
