WCADC ART SHARE!

My apologies for this late post. Thank you to all who came to the Meeting & Art Share on March 9. It was a success! Here's what you missed!

We had a great time on Sunday, all the members that attended brought their artwork to share and some light snacks. We welcomed new member Mary Jo Lombardo and saw the wonderful art of Sandra Davis. 

Here are some of our members, looking at Missy's work as she talks about her piece.Standing: Bonita Tabakin, Cherie Redlinger, Barbara Wolanin, Mary Jo Lombardo. Seated: far left, Jane Forth, Missy Rae Carr, on left, Marilyn Hayes.

Our April Artist of the Month is Sandra Davis.

Sandra is a current member of WCADC and works with recycled paper and items that can be used as painting surfaces that we as consumers throw away.  Sandra first started working with paper in 1999 to create gifts for family members that were unique and economical.  The pieces grew from clowns and small portraits to more detailed and complex images.
