April Demo - Creating Mandalas with Artist Heather Randazzo

A special thank you to our speaker, Artist Heather Randazzo of local Suncrest Studios, for giving us some history about and guidance in creating mandalas this month!   It was a hands-on demo where everyone was encouraged to create their own unique mandala from scratch.  Not only was it a wonderfully creative pursuit, but a very relaxing, calming endeavor for all in attendance.

Thank you again, Heather - it was a lot of fun!

March Demo with Artist Gloria Moses - Framing Your Work Like A Pro

A special thank you to our own Gloria Moses who spoke on the importance of using mats and framing to bring out the best in your artwork.  Choosing the best matting and frames to compliment the mood and bring out the colors of your artwork is a VERY important part of showing your work.  Gloria was able to show us, using her beautiful oil paintings, how to show off your work to the fullest.

Thank you Gloria!!!  Great demo!!!
