Anika has achieved so much and is an inspiring artist striving to produce high-end, exquisite stained glass and conceiving workable designs, from a thumbnail cartoon sketch to a full-scale design.
Anika is excited and honored to be included in the fantastic Mosaic & Glass Arts International exhibition in 2023. The dates are September 1 - 30, 2023 at CEPA Gallery, Buffalo, New York!
