Our artists, the reason to celebrate our festival, filled our clubhouse and grounds with their latest work.

From paintings to pottery, quilts to jewelry and sculpture, we enjoyed the color, texture, form and feeling which art brings to our lives.

We have a strong community of artists in Williamsburg.  And many active in our Williamsburg arts community are also our neighbors, or our former neighbors, here in Kingspoint.  We are happy to have the opportunity to to meet and visit with them, and to view and purchase their current works, right here in our own Kingspoint Clubhouse.

 

Jean Hess has strong ties to our Kingspoint neighborhood.  Her work remains on permanent display in our clubhouse.

 

We also have a strong community of volunteers.  We appreciate the support of so many willing neighbors who helped make this event possible. 

Working together, we created a memorable and successful day. 

“Thank you!” to all of the friends, family, neighbors, and visitors who shared some part of the day with us.

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.
