Fundraiser for Art School/Center

Killaby Art Studio/School/Center is starting a fundraiser to fund an art center and school in Lindale Texas. We are embarking on an artistic journey to enhance the arts in East Texas and beyond, enriching lives and give back to the community. The greatest gift to give a person is the ability to create and teach our children to express, be able to create as adults and provide this in an artistic environment promoting Fine Art in the community. The goals of this is to provide an environment for interaction among artists and the development of creative ideas. To provide opportunity for artists to exhibit their work. To offer a variety of programs and events that teach and display art. To enrich the community. Please if you find it in your heart to donate we would greatly appreciate every penny donated. We are looking to raise at least $3000 to $5000. to fund the school. Help us make our goal. If you can only donate a dollar or $5 dollars....it all counts. We are in need of many supplies, like equipment, furniture, easels, casts, small items such as paper towels, pencils, paper, erasers, little things...so many items I can't count. It is our hope that the Killaby Art Center can provide a space where people can come together from various backgrounds and worldviews to find common ground, community, and gain a vision for a more beautiful world. Thank you. Please follow this link to donate. Whatever you give is greatly appreciated. https://maureenkillaby.squarespace.com/donate/

New Artwork

finished this one the other day. I LOVE the feel of this one and the colors. Everything about this fell into place easily so it was meant to be. I started another painting yesterday and scraped it out. It just did not feel right so back to the easel to start again, bigger. Will post an update later.

Workshop added

New Workshop at the East Texas Arboretum in Athens TX February 11-14, 9-4pm. This is a combination of graphite and colored pencil. This particular art league gets a special rate only of $85. Normal rates for my 4 to 5 day workshops are $300. If you need a supply list there is a graphite list under the TOOLS tab to the left. Colored pencil supplies, you can email me directly. Hope you can make it!
