Our
next monthly meeting is Monday, April 1, 2024 at
7:00p.m. in Fellowship Hall of East Shore United Methodist
Church, 23002 Lake Shore Blvd., Euclid. Our guest
demonstrator is Nada Talevska, an artist using the unique
medium of pressed flowers. The title of her demo is
"Using Pressed Flowers to Make Art". After
having left a successful career in the corporate world in
2018, Nada soon started a journey in creating art using
genuine flower blooms from her garden. Her collages
in geometric designs are created entirely with plant
material and her pencil drawings, mostly faces, are
adorned with flowers. Her perspective of nature has
forever changed – instead of petals, stems, and buds, she
now sees what can become an eyelash, lips, and hair.
Visit her website:
www.pressedflowerartisan.com. Join us on April 1
as Nada shares her passion for creating this unique
artwork. All are Welcome to Attend!

We thank our
March demonstrator, Danielle Dixon for sharing her
talents in wood burning. Her Zoom presentation,
"Portrait Wood Burning" was enjoyed by the 13 members
who watched an interesting presentation by this amazing
artist. If you missed it and would like to see the
demonstration, our president Rozenia Cunningham has
recently posted it on EAA’s YouTube channel.
Click
here to view it. Danielle chose to do a portrait of
James Baldwin, a 20th-century American writer and civil
rights activist who published novels, essays and
plays on race, spirituality and human rights.
Normally it takes five hours to complete a portrait, but
Danielle was able to achieve an incredible likeness in her
wood burning portrait in just over an hour….an excellent
demonstration enjoyed by all.
