Unfortunately, Donna could not attend our last meeting as she was not well, so Joanne stepped in as the demo artist and also chaired the meeting beautifully. ✨

A huge thank you to Joanne for doing such a wonderful job and sharing her talent, creativity, and leadership with everyone. The evening was filled with inspiration and connection!

We hope Donna feels better soon. 💐

Also, please note this was our last meeting before summer break. We look forward to seeing everyone again on September 21!

Wishing everyone a creative and relaxing summer! ☀️🎨

Last nights Artswest meeting

Very very interesting conversation all about Rocks!
And are they not Amazing?
All acrylic, but he’s uses them like they’re watercolours
So much attention to detail, all the colours and textures you might have missed.
