NLAPW Art Member, Jenn Stewart, spoke to us on Feb. 7 about being a Plein Air Painter.
 

Jenn Stewart- Adventures of a Dedicated Outdoor Painter

 
Many of us gathered together on February 7 on Zoom for our 1st meeting of the New Year and to hear our guest speaker, Jenn Stewart, speak on the trials and tribulations of being a Plein Air Painter.  It was a fascinating talk and we appreciated her candor on the mistakes she made along the way, as well as the successes she has encountered.  If you were unable to join us on the Zoom or simply would love to hear her story again, you can watch it on Youtube at https://youtu.be/UWnV9Au2q04 .

An Opportunity For All Members!!
Dawn and Peg were looking for a place to exhibit their many collaborations together over the years.  Dawn remembered The Martin DePorres Center near the campus of Dominican University and contacted their Director.  The director was interested in both allowing Dawn and Peg to exhibit their collaborations along a main hallway, but also to allow the Pen Women to exhibit their work in the St. Catherine of Siena Meeting Room with very large walls (with a hanging system) and some shelving units- and seating for 200 people!  Our Members of all disciplines will be able to exhibit there in September-October of this fall.  We will also be allowed to hold a reception there which can be open to the public.  Look for more information coming soon!!

A set of encaustics commissioned by a client who just ordered 3 more!!
Bev Goldie a few new things on my radar:
~ Completed several commissions since December for two clients - one of whom just ordered three more!!  
~ Received the green light to make two giant reproductions of one of my abstract encaustics for an office lobby - each to be 6ft. x 9ft. tall!!!  I'll have lots of pictures once they're installed!! (Photo attached of the chosen work on a similar wall color from my ArtRoom App.)
~ Was accepted to be in the James Cancer Hospital's gallery in 2024
~ Was the guest speaker for the Worthington Area Art League for February 

In regard to the Biennial, Darlene and I are getting very excited about all of the surprise additions we are exploring for the 2024 Biennial.  We want our national sister members to be proud of our efforts, and we also want them to be impressed with Columbus, Ohio! Soon we'll be asking for volunteers to help with certain aspects of the big event, such as soliciting some businesses for items needed for the huge biennial art reception.  We also want to get in-kind donations for goodie bags for guests, prizes for winners and assistance with our own loft gallery collaborative exhibition.   Once we get closer to the event, we will certainly need and want assistance with receiving art at the Cultural Art Center and unpacking it too.  We will have the first peek at all of the work!!
