Lauren Rogers Museum of Art- "Art Talk" presentation:

Thursday, October 15, 2009:

Thank you for inviting me to Laurel and to the Lauren Roger’s Museum of Art as a speaker for your Art Talk program at the museum...and for hosting my oil painting workshop! 

October: So far, this has been a busy month!... My solo show in Corinth ended on Sunday. The group art show at Northeast MS Community College closes on Friday.

Tonight, I am in Laurel, MS- am to be the featured speaker at Art Talk, a monthly lecture series the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art tomorrow. What an honor! The museum invites artists from all over the US to comet here during the fall and winter months to speak to the patrons and public.

I have also been invited to teach an oil painting workshop: Painting from Photographs, hosted by the museum. Looking forward to both these things as there is nothing that I like more than "talking art"...and painting!

Next week I am in a small exhibit with the Mississippi Painter's Society at the Link Center in Tupelo.

Am also in a special art exhibition hosted by Staggs Interiors of Tupelo that will be in Oxford, MS.

On Thrusday- Sunday, October 22-Roger Dale Brown will be coming to teach a workshop that my husband and I host biannually in Pontotoc, MS. The workshop is full. Roger is a great painter! We have art students from 3 states coming to study with him.
