April Demo for General Meeting was Kim Anderson
Sequim Arts April 23rd meeting will feature well known Northwest Artist Kim Anderson. Kim is a graduate of The Burnley School of Art, Seattle WA and a signature member of the National Collage Association. She has won numerous awards in juried shows with her works in three dimensional art. A current passion is creating art in assemblage boxes inspired by her attraction to recycled/found objects and the enjoyment in the contrast of mixed textures. Kim’s art is meant to tell a story or convey a message or feeling, share a moment or a dream with a viewer, a desire for a connection; a viewers smile, laugh or nod, perhaps thinking…”I’ve had that feeling”. Kim’s presentation follows gathering time at 9:30 am and general meeting at 10:00 am. Visitors are cordially welcomed.
March demo for the General Meeting was Susan Spar

Barbara DePirro presented the demonstration for the September meeting. Her presentation was entitled “Through My Eyes”
“Inspiration comes to us in so many ways; whether traveling to exotic lands, strolling down country roads,walking through urban settings or just sitting still and simply opening our eyes. We are surrounded by an endless flow of ideas. Having the ability to find inspiration in the simplest of forms, the familiar, and the everyday is a tremendous gift. In this presentation, I will let my images be my words….sharing a glimpse of how I, as an artist, see the world.” Barbara DePirro.2009008
