At our very
popular Members’ Night Critique on Monday, June 5,
George Kozmon, an internationally collected artist best
known for his monumental architectural paintings, was
the art critic for the evening. George’s artworks
have been widely exhibited and critically acclaimed
throughout the US and abroad. He is a graduate of
the Cleveland Institute of Art and lives in Gates Mills,
OH. He also participates in IngenuityFest. George
tells us that he does a little of everything, but now he
works large, very large. He is currently working
on an 8ft by 20ft mountain image on wood panels using
acrylic and colored pencil....or ‘whatever works’.
We thank George for sharing his artistic insights with
us. Click here to see photos

 Meet
the winner of the 2017 Euclid Art Association Margret E.
Hain Memorial Art Scholarship - Euclid High School
Senior, Jermaine Hawkins. Jermaine says, "I
grew up in a home where I was surrounded by art.
My father used to draw and he was talented. So
when I was growing up I would sit around for hours and
draw. I have chosen to major in graphic design
because I want to have a career that reflects my
personality as well as sustains a living. Even
though my career choice is not a fine artist, I plan on
creating and exhibiting work throughout my life."

Our May meeting featured
artist and illustrator, Cristal Baldwin, who
drove all the way from London, OH, just west of
Columbus, to share her talents with us...over 2 1/2
hours. She was thrilled that we asked her to
demonstrate Creative Colored Pencils at our
meeting. We were thrilled to have her...thank you,
Cristal, for coming all that way. Our members and
guests enjoyed her presentation and were very impressed
with her talents.
Do you want to see what she demonstrated for
us?....click here.
We thank our hosts for the
evening, Diane Marra and Betsy Poti, for
creating a beautiful spring table filled with all kinds
of goodies....the mile-high ham sandwich sliders from
SweetBerry Market disappeared quickly! We also
enjoyed ‘tulip’ cupcakes, brownie pie and a lot of other
goodies.

Here are workshops scheduled
for 2017....
 See
photos of our latest workshop.
“Zendalas
-Tangling in Sacred Circles” held,
Saturday, May 6, 2017 with certified ZT instructors,
Launie McDevitt and Lisa Ruschman.
Mandala meets Zentangle in this journey to discover
"Sacred Circles". We began by creating our first
Zendala in traditional Zentangle black & white on a
pre-strung, round tile. Then we experimented by
creating abstract color backgrounds using spray inks to
create unique media for the afternoon lessons.
Using foundation principles of Sacred Geometry “The Seed
of Life” & “Flower of Life” we built a string on our
colored background to tangle, shade and highlight.
And the instructors brought pizza for a great lunch, to
keep our energy up.
See the colorful results...
The
three-day
Essential Watercolor Skills Training Workshop,
was another fantastic
weekend workshop with David Rankin. Thank you,
David! And thanks to everyone who participated.
We had a full class...members came from all over
northeast Ohio, from New Jersey, Michigan and even
British Columbia!
