AUGUST FEATURED ARTIST
Kathy Kelsheimer Artist Statement I first started painting as a child, then in classes at high school and continued as a young adult taking correspondence classes. Later, I found an instructor who taught small classes. I studied with her for a few years. I find that the placement of color, lights and darks, directional lines and composition are the essentials of a great painting. “I believe when you can evoke someone into feeling the emotion of a scene, to want to touch and smell a flower or wonder just what that animal or person is thinking or where they have been, you have created an exceptional work of art.” Whether teaching a workshop or painting on your own, you must paint what you feel. Using a wide variety of mediums, including glass, I have won many awards throughout the state. I currently show with CAS at different venues around Austin. Prints are also available.

With our warmer days and thunderstorms, Spring is finally here. If you have been doing your spring cleaning and are wondering what you are going to do with all your art work, have we got some options for you! The CAS Board met last week and I was astounded at all the opportunities coming up for our member to show their art work. We have confirmation for a large show at Texas State University’s Round Rock Campus that will run from July to September. We also will have a show at the Hive in Bee Caves this fall. To add to our rotating venues, we now have Path Salon and are in discussions with Central Bank. Shows for next year are also falling in place as we are setting the dates for two galleries in Taylor. So, get your work dusted off and watch your email for Calls for Art. Check out the calendar on the web site for exact dates of upcoming shows and events. It's on the Home Page, just scroll down a bit.
All these events don’t happen by themselves and we are in a growing need of venue coordinators. If you want some experience before taking this on, we also need volunteers to help hang and take down the shows. Volunteering is a good opportunity to learn the proper way to exhibit art and is a great help for the venue coordinators and to CAS. Contact Marilyn Rodriguez, Jane Fier, Helen Buck or a specific Venue Coordinator listed in a call, if you want to help. Don’t forget the member meeting this Wednesday, May 1 at ACC’s Highland Campus. Several of us will be showing up a few hours early to see if we can recruit some art students into our group. Keep creating! Robb McKenzie President WHAT'S HAPPENING
