Greetings!
Our individual lives are like a quilt...fragments of memories and remnants of times gone by..stitched together by a mysterious hand guided by our will and by happenstance or by a master plan..
Our association is also a quilt, a much larger one. It's members both past and present are the remnants and the fragments of memories and events both present and times gone by. All stitched together by a guided hand of creative energy, passion and desire to express and to make our print on the world....
We are here! We remain...we move into the future, like a dancer in slow motion twirling with elegance, hard work and discipline.

2012 June Featured Juried Artist of the Month
Carole Berren AWS 
Carole Berren, a signature member of the American Watercolor Society, is an award winning painter and a popular instructor of drawing and watercolor. In the journey that is art, Carole embraces the curious wonderment of continued learning, discovery and experimentation. She has studied art at RISD, the Corcoran School of Art in DC and the Danforth Museum. In addition, she has studied painting with Betty Lou Schlemm, Barbara Nechis, Barbara Delannoy, Skip Lawrence, Charles Reid, Tom Sgourus, George James, John Salminen, Alvaro Castagnet and many others. Carole's recent work with watercolor on Yupo paper has earned her national recognition. She has been awarded the Edgar Whitney Memorial Award as well as the prestigious CFS Medal in the American Watercolor Society's Annual International Exhibitions in New York City. Her work has also received recognition by the North East, Rocky Mountain, New England and National Watercolor Societies. In June 2012, her work will be published in North Light's "Splash 13 the Best of Watercolor" book. I am intrigued by the relationships--the similarities and the paradoxes--of man to his environment, to the eternal energies of the magnificent oceans, to the promises of the lotus bud, to the changes in nature that we try to understand. I look forward to my own learning, searching and growth as I sit in the cocoon of my own metamorphoses. I am not yet a butterfly. "If my work has triggered a memory, touched a nerve or sparked a dream, then I am pleased that we have been able to share that moment." Carole Berren

Ann Bianci for all her tea-cups, linens, party favors and the list goes on, Flowers!! left me speechless!
Sabra Park for bringing all the beautiful plates and setting up the tables and displays, helping with the floral arrangements..and all of them for being servers and tea makers!! And to Lori Jeremiah for her serving and tea making and all of these people for working all the way through to cleaning up at the end!! And also to Chris Abbey for the making of the video and for videoing the event.. You all are the best team a person could ever hope to have to work with. Oh yes, and many thanks to Bruce Luscome and Tim Murphy who fetched the tables and chairs for the event so spontaneously!! And Dianne Webb and Jessica Hines for making so many phone calls!!
