Watercolor Paintings

“Life is full of small segments that often go unnoticed, but have an impact on our emotions if we stop to see it.

Whether it is a breathtaking landscape, a child’s face or a sun struck prism, these are things that make my day!

As an artist I strive to bring those moments to paper with watercolor to enjoy again and again. “

Largely self taught, I began my adventure with watercolors in 1997 taking classes with Ann Murphy Armstrong.   After several workshops with numerous nationally known watercolor instructors such as Judy Betts, Gerald Brommer, Steve Rodgers, Betsy Dillard Stroud and Don Andrews, I joined the Barclay Sheaks Art Group.   Now known as the Williamsburg Studio Painters, I find myself working with Ann Armstrong, the group’s leader, once again.

Shows include:
New Town Art Gallery, Williamsburg, VA guest artist, winter 2014
Art on the Square, Williamsburg, VA 2006 -2014 (honorable mention, painting and drawing 2013)

Pottery

I started my company, A Girl Named Betsy, about 6 years ago and started to sell my pottery.  I have been making pottery for 12 years.

I am an award winning artist in multiple media forms.

I love making pottery and before I make anything I say a short prayer for love and joy to be with me and work through me to create the form.  So my pottery is truly a gift from the universe.

Timothy Seaman

Solo Acoustic Dulcimer and Flutes

Timothy Seaman, musician, songwriter, teacher and naturalist,  has been a Williamsburg resident for more than 40 years.

An internationally known recording artist, he currently has 15 CD recordings in his discography.  He is known for his distinctive, compelling, and passionate instrumental music on hammered dulcimer and flute.

Tim’s music is a unique blend of styles.  He has developed his own techniques with the hammered dulcimer to weave melodies ranging from traditional folk tunes to well loved hymns. His recordings also include numerous original compositions.

Much of Tim’s music has a distinctive Virginia  theme.  He has composed music to express the unique qualities of our many National Parks and to capture the flavor of important periods of our history.

Timothy’s CDs include:  Jamestown: On the Edge of a Vast Continent (2006), Celtic Airs (2010), Virginia Wildlife (2004), Here On This Ridge (1997), and Gentle Breeze Beneath The Trees (2011).  His latest CD, Tenting on the Old Camp Ground (2012) includes 44 tunes from the mid- 1860s which were popular at the time of our War Between the States.

Tim’s CDs feature a number of familiar guest artists, including Ardie Boggs, Bill Gurley, Ann Robinson, and Phillip Skeens.

Timothy will perform throughout the day at our Kingspoint Art and Ale 2014, will offer his CDs for sale, and will be available to demonstrate his hammered dulcimer to interested music lovers.  Many neighbors still have fond memories of Timothy’s previous concert in  our Kingspoint Clubhouse  in February of 2012.

This is a very special opportunity for our community to meet  Timothy and enjoy his  music.  He will perform on the deck, overlooking beautiful College Creek, throughout the day.
