Garden Gallery: New Exhibit featuring Helene C'de Bac
Kindred Spirits by Helene C'de Baca
A local artist from San Juan Bautista, Helene is inspired by the beauty found in nature which often overwhelms her and is driven by the irresistible urge to capture that beauty and share it with others. As a mostly self-taught artist, she experiments with various mediums.
