NJ Artist Kyoko Bartley’s Latest Solo Show at Small World Coffee on Witherspoon St. in Princeton, NJ
Kyoko is a local artist and an educator. She is an art instructor at Princeton Adult School, and also she is a teacher at Princeton Community Japanese Language School.
From February 5 to March 3 2020, she will be displaying her various artworks at Small World Coffee at Witherspoon, Princeton, New Jersey.
Although she has worked in a variety of mediums, these years she mainly creates American Comic art and animal portraits with pencil, pen and paper. She is donating 20% of the proceeds from the sale of animal portraits to local animal shelters.
