Jo Beck
10/20/2008
Jo Beck, Clifton, Texas artist, “performed” for the Fine Arts League of Coleman County Thursday evening, October 16, 2008, at the First Coleman National Bank Club room (Thanks to the bank for their allowing the League to use the Club room each month). Jo gave new insight to creativity with her examples of how to “make art” in a different way- from texturing to stamping, and “paper doll cut-outs”, etc. She exhibited several of her paintings using different media on various surfaces. It was great fun. Jo is an artist with a style and personality to match her work. Jo plans to come back in the Spring and teach a workshop at Heritage Hall. Contact Kay Mitchell for more information.

After the demonstration, refreshments with a Halloween theme , prepared by Tammy Jo Turner were served. Theda Rhea, Vice-President conducted the business session.
