A few of our early presentations at our General Meetings

At the General Meeting on February 9, 2008, Margaret Kranking gave a slide presentation, “Bringing Your Paintings Together with Color and Light” . Over 35 members attended.  The others missed a real treat!

March 8, Barbara Nuss critiqued our work at the Davis Library in Bethesda. Over 20 members attended.

April 12 Rena Hoisington was canceled. Kay McCrohan, chair of the art department at Montgomery College, spoke on April 12. Over 30 SAA members and guests enjoyed the presentation and accompanying slide show. Kay's talk was about not creating art in a vacuum, not letting titles pigeon hole you and the importance of playing in the creative process.  She feels that exploring different mediums allows an artist to stretch beyond limiting labels and develop more fully. Her latest work is the culmination of work in printmaking, paper art and metalsmithing techniques.
