left: "Token of the Hunt" by Britt Ripley

LAA is excited to present a weekend long workshop with the enthusiastic and uber-creative painter Victoria Kwasinski! (You can read more about Victoria in our January 2010 newsletter.) Victoria is a mixed media srtist who creates fun while we paint.  She did a Saturday class in March and a demonstration at one of the LAA meetings and we enjoyed it so much we have asked her to return for a 2-day workshop.

We still have a couple openings if interested contact Lynn Wooton at 303 817-9441 or woot984@aol.com.

We also have one scholarship space available if you ask and feel you would benefit from it.
