Sept 2024 Presenter: Jamie Peterson
We invite you to join us at our meeting on Monday Sept 16, 2024 for fun and fellowship.
This is our regular monthly members meeting. Hope to see you there - members and guests welcome!
This month our presenter, Jamie Peterson, will present:
From Galleries to Weddings
Jamie will discuss her journey from "fine artist" to small (art) business owner. She'll address how setting aside the question of the "What do I have to say?" as an artist has made space for her to have meaningful visual conversations with thousands of people through live event work. She will also do a demonstration of a live portrait. Finally, she'll share her mediums, embellishments and paints and talk about how she uses them.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Jamie Peterson
Originally from Minnesota, I am a mother of 2 and a former Air Force Officer. I have been a working portraitist for over 20 years and have my work in both public and private collections. I was one of the first artists to begin working as a live painter in this latest resurgence of painting at events and weddings. I am also a live portraitist and attend events to photograph and sketch guests in ink and watercolor. I've continued to adapt my work and my business throughout the years in order to continue growing and earning a living.

A reminder to our members:
Each month, we hold a new themed contest in the TAP Gallery. All CCAL members are invited to participate. Simply create your best piece according to the theme and bring it to hang on the start date listed below. (Be sure to bring your gallery wall label.) Only original works only are permitted in judged theme contests (no prints please). Exhibits typically change the same night as our monthly member meeting. Be sure to take home your artwork at the end of the exhibit!! A monthly Award Winner will be selected and awarded a ribbon for themed exhibits. Happy creating! In order to give our members more time to paint ahead for the TAP Gallery Exhibits, we will be trying to keep a yearly list of upcoming themes published in advance. View the full list of all Upcoming TAP Gallery Themes so you can plan and create ahead!
