June Artist of the Month

Annie Murphy Springer is well known in the area for her watercolor paintings as well as her painting classes. Last year was the inaugural for "Watercolors for Guys" which was so successful that she's had to repeat the workshop several times. One of those times is coming soon.

Her latest endeavor is putting together a watercolor painting series for PBS which is now in the development stage.

For more information on Annie's art, classes and a YouTube video of her talking about her art, check out her website at anniemurphyspringer.com or click on her name on the home page of the Artisans' Co-op website.

June Artist of the Month

Christine Schreier is our doll maker and one of our June Artists of the Month.
She has taken this opportunity to set up a 'Nature Tableau' complete with Mother Nature, ( who is knitting no less,) Flower children, Earth children and Ore gnomes.
Christine suggests that setting up such a scene is a wonderful way to celebrate and connect with the seasons through the year.

Among the charming figures, Christine has scattered seeds and flowers, rocks and stones, driftwood and crystal-anything that reminds her and you of the secrets of Nature.
