President’s Corner
The summer is coming to a close but we
won’t be sorry to see the intense temperatures be gone. SWS exhibition chair, Gisa
Elwazir and her team have the heat turned
up a on this year’s Membership Show. Juror,
Katherine Chang Liu has chosen a very
vibrant show. The PFAMILY Art Center, is a
performing art center and the chosen venue
for hosting this year’s 47th Annual Membership Show. Several of our SWS members
will be doing demonstrations during the day
between now and the shows end. We invite everyone to go see
this exhibition between now and September 25th.
I am very excited about this year we have six great workshops planned and the Golden representative coming in January.
Jonesy McConnell will be hosting the Christmas party, lots of fun
and laughs. Gayord O’Con will be heading up our fall paint out
to Granbury in October hope you will make plans to come get
to know the artists in SWS.
We are growing every year with our membership. Organizations thrive because of great members and the bonds of friendship. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our new,
renewed and future members. I have this quote in my studio so
it is a constant reminder every day is a new day
“IF YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT CHANGING YOUR LIFE,
NOW COULD BE THE TIME TO DO IT.”
We meet the 2nd Wednesday of every month September – May
See You soon!!!!

SIGNATURE MEMBER EXHIBITION
April 8 - May 9, 2011
This will be a judged exhibition for those active members who

piece of art you would like to submit; you have several months
