Announcements!

Hello friends & fellow artists!

Many thanks to Inna Makarichev and K.D. Keckler for letting me know of additional honors received in our club!  I’ll be requesting that again at the end of my letter.  You guys sharing with me is how I have information on what you’re up to out there beyond the gates.

I’m excited to share our member Inna Makarichev’s success in the recent San Clemente Art Association Show.  She won a honorable mention in the acrylics category, for her striking cat family piece - My Family - Mom Dad Sister Me. Congratulations Inna!
