Members and guests together at the June 2009 general member meeting on Saturday, June 13th.
At the June Meeting
Our Demonstration Artist-
Kristin Lindseth-Rivera on Clay Sculpture:
"Emotions are the subjects of my figurative sculptures, not individuals. The sculptures are about the universal experience of being human, of being both strong and fragile at the same
time, of being connected to, and isolated from others."
Kristin Lindseth-Rivera is a sculptor and printmaker, who specializes in figurative work. She teaches at Mission College and at the Triton Museum of Art.
Artist of the month voted by members is
Holly Van Hart
Congradulation to you, Holly!
