Welcome to the group! Hi! My name is Michelle Astuto Collins.  I started this group several years ago to create a meeting place to help the growth of the arts community in Pasco County. You can view my work on my website artbymichellecollins.com.  In the past several years I have had the pleasure of meeting many wonderful artists that have become and remain my friends. Among them is my dearest friend; Paula Showen, who has been selflessly devoting years of volunteering for the arts in New Port Richey and keeping members of this group updated on events throughout the past several years. You can view her photography at showmarphtography.com.   We have worked with the Pasco Arts Council as well as Greater New Port Richey Main Streets, Progress Energy Art Gallery  to help put the artists in our area online and out in the public where people can see them and their work. I have had a blast but have recently taken a break to focus on my own career with my move to Hernando County. I will though continue to keep this group up to date and post anything that I believe will be helpful to my artists friends as well as artists I have yet to meet. Feel free to join, post, share your artwork and make the most of this little spot on the internet!
