I have spent countless hours online\, researching and finding potters worldwide. I want to make bonsai potters and their work easily accessible to everyone. My goal is to bring the global bonsai potter community together\, support them\, and in doing so help the whole bonsai community grow long term.” \n  \nAngelica’s website can be viewed here. \n  \nAngelica began learning bonsai in 2019 from online videos\, books\, and Feng (Gary) Gu of Penjing Bonsai Garden in Malabar\, Florida.
