From Ann Lees
Happy Holidays to you all!
As Chair of the WAA Education Committee, I do hope that you have enjoyed our 2015 programs and workshops. The Holiday Dinner was a warm and celebratory event, and we all had a grand social time.
Planning for 2016 continues, and we have some super speakers lined up for our 2nd-Thursday-of-the-month evening Membership Meetings. Mark your new calendars now!! Presenters will include Bonnie Rogers, pastel demo, Susan Baehmann, printmaking, Kelly Starbuck, photography, Charles Robertson, encaustics and Joanne Geisel, demo in oils. A workshop by Chad Smith will be titled "Plein Air Concepts". Further details on dates and sign-up will follow after the holidays.
Meanwhile, I send you all warmest best wishes for prosperity, good health and inspiration in the New Year. And get creating for the Spring Show!
Ann Lees, WAA Education Chair
