Last week, I was invited to a meeting of the Kansas Art Guild (KAG), an artist group in Kansas, and had the honor of serving as both judge and presenter. This group was formed in 1977 and was initially for local artists in Wichita. It has now grown to include many members who live many miles away from Wichita. They meet monthly at MarkArts in Wichita for business meetings and judging of artwork. I believe there were about 40 or 50 people in attendance at this meeting.
It was not easy to judge participating pieces. It was a great learning experience.
While many of the other visiting presenters share their techniques, I used a PowerPoint presentation to introduce my artistic journey. It is always a joy to share my story and talk about my work. I hope I will have opportunities like this more often.
