Many thanks to national award winning photographic artist, Chris Coffey for his outstanding Keynote presentation at our November meeting.  He shared his journey from learning to creating and developing large format camera images in b&w, mostly landscapes and what he calls ‘extracts’, a.k.a. abstracts.  His work is so stunning that he can easily be considered the Ansel Adams of current times.  Chris also talked about the difference between an artist statement and a bio and the importance of keeping them current.  Visit his website at  https://www.chriscoffey.com/

To quote an article in the November Euclid Observer, written by Christine Vazquez….”In a heartfelt gesture, the Euclid Art Association has donated a cherished piece of artwork created by former president Lee Peters to the Euclid City Hall.  This donation took place during the Association’s City Hall Art Exchange, an event that allows local artists to showcase their work while city employees select pieces to adorn their offices and public spaces.”  Read the entire article by clicking on this link.
