MEMBER NEWS

Edward “Ted” Clark has a mural project ongoing in his glass studio. Artist Sergio Garzon is creating indoor/outdoor/ceiling works of art in Ted’s facility. Ted extends an invitation to WAG members who would be interested in helping Sergio create a few murals as a community development program. If this opportunity speaks to your creative self, please contact Ted directly via email edwardclark (at) taongaglass.com to find out the particulars.

Cynthia Schubert Richmond expresses gratitude to WAG for the $500/yr. grant that the prison ministries, Total Life Recovery, receives for her art class. Cynthia has volunteered over the past two years teaching watercolor, following in (deceased at 91 years young) Ruth Pistor’s footsteps who taught for nine years. The financial help from WAG is so helpful for getting supplies that would otherwise come out of Cynthia’s pocket for which she is so very thankful. All art supply donations are gratefully accepted.

Marti Wiese-Rounds invites you to her new art exhibit (March-June 12) at Assagio’s Kailua featuring her batiks. The renovated Diamond Head Tower of the Hilton Hawaiian Hotel is now finished with acrylic works from Marti’s “Retro Hawaii” series on each floor in the elevator area.

The Star of Honolulu is redoing their decor and has chosen four each of Marti’s batiks and acrylics.

The current (free) issue of Hawaii Wellness Magazine has images of Marti’s batiks on the cover and the Table of Contents page. Way to go Marti!!!
