Notes from the 2007 members show:

The reception took place on Sun, Sept 9 and we had a good attendance and enjoyed the piano music of Beverly Poyerd while browsing through the paintings and enjoying the wonderful food provided by our members.

Juror of Awards Elise Morenon, AWS demonstrated a painting at our reception on Sept 9, as well as showing a number of ways that various papers and applications of paint could be used in innovative designs to create exciting paintings. We all enjoyed her winning personality and sense of humor in this very successful presentation. Some examples of her work are shown below.
