In Loving Memory of Rae W. Robert

Rae W. Robert

Our DSFAA treasurer, Rae Robert passed away, Monday, February 9, 2015. She had a kind giving heart, and was always willing to help in any way that she could. If anyone needed her, she was always available. She loved painting and photography. She was serving her second term as treasurer of DSFAA. She is going to be deeply missed as a member of DSFAA , but also as a friend to many. In honor of Rae it was suggested that we all wear RED to the March meeting.

February 2015 DSFAA General Meeting with Alla Baltas as guest speaker

Alla Baltas

of 

Alla's Fine Art

What a wonderful treat it was to have Alla give us a demo on oil painting from a beautiful photo she took of a Louisiana Swamp scene. She blew us away in what she accomplished on canvas in such a short time. I would like to personally thank Alla on behalf of DSFAA for a fine demonstration in oil paintings. I can't say how many wonderful comments and emails I have received on her wonderful demo.

Please contact Alla and Bill for any of your Art Reproduction, Custom Mats and Framing needs. Phone (225) 771-8801 or Email : baltasb@allasfineart.com

Each  piece of art tells a story or is done in a different technique. Ochsner maintains the art wall in an effort to support the arts and involve the community. For thousands of years, music, artwork, dance and other forms of art have been used to support the healing process. The art display is one of many ongoing projects of Ochsner Medical Center--Baton Rouge to promote a sense of well being and renewal to those who visit. This is one of the avenues Ochsner is using to demonstrate its commitment to the healing of patients, families, and employees.
