Artfest 2011

Artfest 2011: Just a sampling of images from this year. I hope that Liz and Roberta will add more. Missing is our traditional group shot on the steps of House 4E of course.  However, we were blessed with wonderful housemates, Stephanie, Laurie, Jody, Lynn and Deb. Roberta took classes by Syd McCutcheon, Jill Berry and Pamela Huntington. Liz took classes with Lisa Bebe, Lisa Engelbrecht and Roxanne Padgett. Joanne took classes with Patricia Seggebruch, Gina Armfield and Roxanne Padgett.

But first, a trip to Akamai for more supplies, followed by a traditional pitstop at the food coop

Welcome to Artfest. Tracy greets us!!
