It has been a busy year . I have created a new schedule of classes and workshops available beginning in September 2011.

Some big news since the last newsletter is the founding of a new gallery space for the Cabarrus Art Guild of Cabarrus County, which I have been a member of for 36 years! After many years of searching and trying, We have a new home, thanks to Jock Liles and other owners of The Depot at Gibson Milll in Concord, a 50 foot long brick wall space which is now up and running and healthy and is known as The Cabarrus Art Guild's Brick Wall Gallery. For more information on the exhibits please go the the www.cabarrusartguild.org website . We are hosting an exnibit for the Cabarrus County high school juniors and seniors for the month of October, and our own member artists exhibited their work at the annual fall judged exhibit during October at the Old Courthouse Theatre in downtown Concord.
The Best of Show Award for this exhibit is the Dr. Tommie Tomlin Memorial Award, and was presented along with other awards at the opening reception on Sunday, October 9 th from 2 to 4 PM at the Brick Wall Gallery at the Depot at Gibson Mill, 325 McGill Avenue, suite 250
Concorfd, NC The Student Exhibit was a huge success and winners and pictures of the exhibit are dislpla;yed during the month of November on the Cabarrus Co. School web channel, channel 21 for most.
Some of my historical site work and lighthouses are available to be seen along with other things at the DEPOT AT GIBSON MILL - IN THE WEAVE ROOM far corner left. Check it out next time you are at the Depot and don't forget to look at the current exhibit by the Art Guild in the Design Room on the"Brick Wall Gallery"
The alcohol inks are very popular and are rather addicting although no alcohol is consumed , however plenty is used in the ink and on the paper. The colors are brilliant and they are mostly considered what I call intuitive and abstract landscapes. Although there are some larger ones, most of them are 4 x 6 and a good size for small spaces as well as table top easels. They make wonderful gifts .
