<div style="text-align: center;">
As a visual artist I paint still life, landscapes and abstracts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been creating art since I was a small child (many children are small). My first painting was "Popeye the Sailor" with enamel paints on wood. My other art consisted of building and customizing plastic model cars, building and racing radio control cars and trucks, and drawing with colored pencil and graphite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My inspiration comes from the happiness and joy of bright colors. I chose the acrylic medium for its quick drying properties and wide array of available gels and mediums for creating different and interesting textures and fluid movements.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have studios in both Maryland and Rehoboth Beach, DE. My art is an outlet from the everyday. It is relaxing and invigorating all at the same time. In a world of being connected virtually 24/7, art gets me to a quieter, more serene place, whether it’s at the beach or here at home watching football and painting…at the same time.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">"I have always been fascinated by African Masks. My husband traveled to Africa many times and always brought home paintings and masks.<br /><br />In early 2018, I decided to paint images of African masks on canvas but add my own twist. My ancestors used crude tools to make their masks which were often a bit imperfect but yet so very beautiful. I like that my art does not require precision and symmetry and is therefore a reflection of my personality." </span></div>

"I began rug hooking over 26 years ago. When my twin boys were born, I did not have a rocking chair so my Grandmother gave me a beautiful old Stottlemyer rocking chair along with a rug that always sat in front. My Grandmother told me that my Great-grandmother made the rug. It was a geometric pattern with lots of bright colors. I didn’t understand how it was made just that I loved it. A couple of years later I found someone demonstrating at a local craft show how to make these beautiful rugs. I began taking classes and was “hooked”.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #282828; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;">
Rug hooking is a process of pulling different sizes, colors and textures of strips of fabric (usually wool) through a backing into loops to make a design. It has existed in the US for over 200 years. These designs were made out of whatever fabric and backing were available and used to cover the floors and sometimes even the bed. Today they are often used on the wall as a work of art.<br />
<br />
A few years ago I became McGown certified to teach rug hooking. I teach at a local shop in Frederick, MD called Primitive Homespuns Wool and Needleworks. I am also very active in our local rug hooking guild and love to demonstrate rug hooking at the local ag expo, fair, guild or really to anyone who has an interest. I have participated in many craft shows over the years and currently participate in two a year with a friend: Boonsboro Days in Boonsboro, MD and at the mill at Waterford in Waterford, VA."</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">There is a certain liberation that comes with being unschooled. Lack of training forces me to experiment, and paintings typically take about a month to complete. This opens the door to happy accidents, i.e. unintended results that enhance a work rather than diminish it. Without schooling, one can’t knowingly make any mistakes.</span></div>

<i>The #SSPaintOut went swimmingly!</i></h2>
<i><br /></i>
<i>By Meagan Healy</i><br />
<br />
We gathered at the Main Tent at Fenton Street Market. I got there a little before 10am to take a few pictures for @Space710 (on Twitter). One of our participants came a little early, too.</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfcyB4PaXqpBLgSxpQ9j66vD3KkiEhF2-x92BYZKXaRoMYzxOkCSGcJ7AhAa-C5rTlKk23TswtXhg6T3xgbYxCRyjAZQsv32x74JqfrEy1eq22mnYHKl5zEpCzuEzPBj-YYjmGhQ/s1600/Clock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfcyB4PaXqpBLgSxpQ9j66vD3KkiEhF2-x92BYZKXaRoMYzxOkCSGcJ7AhAa-C5rTlKk23TswtXhg6T3xgbYxCRyjAZQsv32x74JqfrEy1eq22mnYHKl5zEpCzuEzPBj-YYjmGhQ/s320/Clock.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div>
The rest of the creatives rolled in exactly on time.<br />
<br />
"Paint or craft or 'whatever' around in downtown Silver Spring, starting now," I said, pointing to the clock on the newly re-named <i>Ellsworth Place</i>, "and come right back here at 1pm for a little show-and-share". <br />
<br />
The #SSPaintOut participants would have the full three hours to make what they liked. Having dispensed those lengthy and complicated instructions, we were off!<br />
<br />
I happened to know that at the exact same time as the #SSPaintOut, the Kefa Cafe Hub in the new Library was throwing a thank-you party for those who had helped with the fundraising for THAT hub.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJu8XwHD_MpaH602gHVp_NQVDZfxtPLTwRy11MS4RAcoi8J0Uk5udEaLIYacyx_vFuhcHN1hNg5S7vLiYiAqkE_3REH3DH3lZuPOmkUGCyJBAlXIj_EuFYnKg9KxdeZdR2u-nVsg/s1600/Kefa_ThankYou.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJu8XwHD_MpaH602gHVp_NQVDZfxtPLTwRy11MS4RAcoi8J0Uk5udEaLIYacyx_vFuhcHN1hNg5S7vLiYiAqkE_3REH3DH3lZuPOmkUGCyJBAlXIj_EuFYnKg9KxdeZdR2u-nVsg/s320/Kefa_ThankYou.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
Amy Kincaid, the person who curated Space710's art shows since it began, spoke a few words, thanking those in attendance on behalf of Kefa Cafe.<br />
<br />
Another gentleman was moved to read a poem.<br />
<br />
The County Executive, Isaiah Leggett, spoke about community.<br />
<br />
And then there was cake.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM3k9lKMIqv58yB-IxcQWGfPTpo8mEsdQq8jRaqRk1TvaxYbP2sP_GZGydnT-KJkYyJxM5CvUk5_72ZTHvAUE7oJoG4aby4CPSfFq5Ly-kFAo49d_ZfrfqDfvbnBTbGfUqHPgE0Q/s1600/Kefa_Thank+You+Cake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM3k9lKMIqv58yB-IxcQWGfPTpo8mEsdQq8jRaqRk1TvaxYbP2sP_GZGydnT-KJkYyJxM5CvUk5_72ZTHvAUE7oJoG4aby4CPSfFq5Ly-kFAo49d_ZfrfqDfvbnBTbGfUqHPgE0Q/s320/Kefa_Thank+You+Cake.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
I stayed for a bit and then returned to the #SSPaintOut:<br />
<br />
<div>
At first, three hours seemed like a really long time, but the time flew by. But the participants and I agreed that there are still many wonderful things in Silver Spring that we could paint. We may do this again!<br />
<br />
<i>Happily, one of our participants wanted to submit a piece that she created to the Space 710 Silver Spring Pop Up Art Show (Fenton Street Market - Saturday, October 24th). That was one of the two primary purposes of this Paint Out, so I count this as a success!</i><br />
<br />
Hopefully everyone had fun - Enjoy some of the participants' work below:<br />

<b>Theme:</b> A Pop-Up Group Art Show, Theme: Silver Spring (and surrounding areas).<br />
<b><br />When? WHERE?</b> Fenton Street Market, Saturday, October 24th, 2015.<br />
<br />
<b>Why?</b> Marketing and Sales (include a business-sized card with your contact information on it, price and any other contact information), show off your work, show off Silver Spring, MD!<br />
<br />
<b>For How Long?</b> 1 day (10am-4pm)<br />
<br />
<b>The nitty-gritty:</b> We will follow the same guidelines about Liability and Damages, Publicity, and Pricing, etc, that Amy Kincaid had written here: <a href="http://space710atkefa.blogspot.com/2014/07/info-for-artists.html.">http://space710atkefa.blogspot.com/2014/07/info-for-artists.html.</a> <b>You are responsible for your own work and submit your work at your own risk.</b> Please read. <br />
<br />
<b>Some ARTWORK requirements:</b><br />
- ready-to-hang<br />
- sizes ranging from postcard size 4"x6" to no larger than 18"x24". We are setting up our spot, so "ease of hanging" is optimal. We do love to have a mix of sizes.<br />
- visually Silver Spring oriented, featuring a Silver Spring place or person or whatever - as long as there is some element in it that can reference Silver Spring, MD, it will fit.<br />

<i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A note from Meagan:</span></i></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello friends,<br /><br />On Labor Day, I visited the Glen Echo Park "Labor Day Art Show" and the Montgomery Art Association's "Labor Day 'Paint The Town' Art Show'. I went to say hello to friends and participants, of course, and also to see what what out there.<br /><br /><i>After a while, I began to notice a pattern of "art that was selling" and so I thought I would write about it here.</i></span><br />
<div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>

<i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>What Art Sold</b></span></i><br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><b>The <a href="http://www.glenechopark.org/" target="_blank">Glen Echo Park</a> "Labor Day Art Show" </b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Features: artwork in mostly traditional art forms, in both 2 dimensional works : painting, photography and collage and 3 dimensional works : </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">sculptural, pottery, jewelry*, and collage</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. <i>Anyone can submit for a small fee.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>*The jewelry in this show is primarily fused glass, which, alas, is not to my taste, so I neglected to look into this aspect. My apologies to jewelry artisans.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br />Sales often were: </b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />- Paintings & Photography that featured a minimalist or impressionist-inspired style (aka a loose or simple style or a dreamy effect) with a little bit of finer detail.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />- Sculptural pieces that featured simple and organic shapes</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Clever use of textures as part of the more traditional pieces - Example - collages that use computer CDs' reflective surfaces to mimic water, as in the water in a lily pad pond, Example - acrylic paintings of people on wood, leaving the wood grain unpainted as part of the figure's hair.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />- Clever <b>and</b> iconic: Example - an iPad drawing printed on a large wall canvas of Audrey Hepburn on a white background.<br /><br /><b>The <a href="http://montgomeryart.org/" target="_blank">Montgomery Art Association</a> "Labor Day: Paint The Town" Show</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Features: mostly traditional 2 dimensional works, watercolor, oil, acrylic, ink & wash, and collage. They offer prizes as well as awards, for submitted pieces as well as a Plein Air works done THAT day. <i>You do need to be a paid member to submit work.</i></span></div>

Dear Artists,</div>
<div style="color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
NEWS!<br /><br />The <strong>Kefa Cafe HUB</strong> at the new Silver Spring Library on Bonifant and Wayne has opened! (It opened this past weekend, according to Amy Kincaid, on site.) Stop by during library hours!<br /><br />We are still waiting for the <strong>original</strong> Kefa Cafe to re-open. Since we don't know when that will be, why not put on a pop up group art show?</div>
<div style="color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">

<div style="color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>What? A Pop-Up Group Art Show, Theme:</strong><strong> Silver Spring</strong> <em>(and surrounding areas)</em>.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>Where?</strong> IF Space 710 at Kefa Cafe is open by <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_836019768" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Oct. 3rd</span></span>, then great - we'll have a location! IF that space is not yet available, then we will have some other venues for a limited time elsewhere in Silver Spring. (maybe for 1 day - this is still being worked out) </div>

<strong>Why?</strong> Marketing (include a business-sized card with your contact information on it), show off your work, show off Silver Spring</div>
<div style="color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>For How Long? </strong>Pop Up length of time is uncertain at the moment because we are still checking with Pop Up venues. On the safe side, our "ballpark" is 1 "day" length of time, to start.</div>
<div style="color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<strong>The nitty-gritty:</strong> We will follow the same guidelines about Liability and Damages, Publicity, and Pricing, etc, that Amy Kincaid had written here: <a href="http://space710atkefa.blogspot.com/2014/07/info-for-artists.html" style="color: #1155cc; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank">http://space710atkefa.blogspot.com/2014/07/info-for-artists.html</a>. You are responsible for your own work and submit your work at your own risk. Please read.</div>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>If you would like to join our spontaneous art group, please <a href="mailto:space710.kefacafe@gmail.com" style="color: #6dc6dd; word-wrap: break-word;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff6633;">click to email</span></a> with the following information:</strong></span><div style="color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">

- sizes ranging from postcard size 4"x6" to no larger than 18"x24". We are not sure of our locations yet, so "ease of hanging" is optimal. We do love to have a mix of sizes.</div>
<div style="color: #606060; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px;">
- visually Silver Spring oriented, featuring a Silver Spring place or person or whatever - as long as there is some element in it that can reference Silver Spring, MD, it will fit. Please save your "artwork that has other themes but was done IN Silver Spring" for a different show.<br /> </div>
