Ki m VanD e r Hoe k
It is my hope that when you view my painting from
across the room you can easily see what the subject
is, then, upon closer inspection, you find yourself lost
in the brushwork.
I enjoy the challenges plein air painting poses. Dealing with the weather, changing light and the other
hurdles of outdoor painting has forced me to learn
to make decisions quickly, to paint with commitment and above all, to have a plan for each painting.

Greetings fellow artists and OCFA
Members! It’s time to start planning
for summer events—there will be
lots to do, with art festivals and other
events around the county to occupy
the artistically minded. OCFA will be
well-represented in several venues,
including the L aguna B each F es tival of A rts , O range C ounty
F air , events in Newport Beach, and
other spots around Orange County.
Get out and spend some time visiting
your fellow artists; they’d appreciate
seeing you, and you’ll have a good
time, to boot.
M a r i lly n B r a m e and T e r ry
W alker are happy to report that
recent events held during the I magi nation C elebration were wellattended and attracted several new
parents and children to partake in art
projects during Marillyn’s A rts A live
F estival in Mission Viejo and Terry’s
P aint with the P ros at the OCFA
Education center.
And I’m happy to report that donations
from yours truly and J erry C lovis
were recently honored at the annual
auction fundraiser for the Orange
County and Inland Empire Chapter of
the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
held in Newport Beach.
I am also happy to report that the
reception for our statewide show, A rt ist E ye , was well-attended and wellreceived. Keep an eye out for an e-mail
attachment with the list of award recipients. A special thanks goes out to juror
and artist, M ark L eysen ; if you want
a glimpse at one example of why he
is nationally, and locally well-regarded
as both an Artist and Instructor, visit
Showcase Gallery; he has graciously
loaned one of his original paintings for
display in the Gallery throughout the
run of the Artist Eye Show.
T wo
items of note :
the officer positions on the Board filled:
President, Secretary, and Treasurer, to
fulfill the organization’s legal obligations, under state corporate guidelines.
I have decided—though it has been
overall quite an enjoyable experience
for me—that after four years of Board
service, in various positions, including
Secretary, Treasurer, and President, I will
not be running for another Board term;
rather, I will serve the Board as immediate Past President, so that I can pursue
my art and other educational opportunities that have become available
to me. Additionally, current Secretary,
F ay B aki , long-term Board member
and Community Liaison, M arillyn
B rame , have also decided to not opt
for renewal of their current positions
with the Board; and Showcase Gallery
Director M argie Z uliani has decided
to step back from the demands of
serving as Showcase Director, so that
she might serve the Board in another
position—to be announced on the
upcoming ballot.
So, change is afoot; and you, the members have a rare opportunity to step
up and offer your services to OCFA as
Board members for the next fiscal year,
and help steer and define the course of
OCFA, going into its fifth decade as one
of Orange County’s oldest non-profit
Arts Organizations.
It’s time for Annual Board elections,
and this year there will also be a special
request to amend
the OCFA bylaws;
you’ll want to
keep an eye on
your US Post or email deliveries for
these announcements and ballots.
As a reminder, and
an aside, I would
also like to point Cheers,
out that the State
of California requires that OCFA
must have three of
