DSFAA General Meeting April 7, 2104

Denise Hall -Adams

De Lou Glass Designs LLC

Guest Speaker for April 2014

The Denham Springs Fine Art Association General Meeting will be held Monday, April 7, 2014 at 7:00 p.m. at the Municipal Building located at 941 Government Street in Denham Springs, LA. Denise Hall -Adams with De Lou Glass Designs, Denham Springs, LA will be our guest speaker for the night. Here is a little about the artist from her website:

My name is Denise Hall-Adams, I started learning about stained glass when I took a class to make a window for my bathroom. After that...I was hooked. I then learned to slump and fuse. Then I thought about all the beautiful glass going into our landfills. I try to incorporate some recycled glass into my projects.  Besides designing and fabricating window panels, we make garden art, useful bowls and platters, jewelry, and many more items. We use new and recycled glass for our creations.  We teach begining and advanced stained glass, fusing, mosaics, and will be adding other classes for art glass projects. Check our website for time and dates of our classes, or you can call 225-771-9878.

I hope we will have a nice showing of members and guest. We will be discussing our upcoming Spring Show as well as other activities and events coming up. Please try to come and invite others too.

Thank you,

Tom Wallace Memorial Art Wall at Ochsners Medical Center

 Elizabeth Thompson, Bonnie Williams, Derrell Robinson, Sarah Wallace and Gwin Brister

 Derrell Robinson

Gwin Brister

Remembering Tom Wallace
Elizabeth Thompson, Bonnie Smith Williams, Derrell Robinson, Sarah Wallace, Gwin Brister are in the photo. The group met to take down art and hang Derrell and Gwin's work for the month of March and April.  The afternoon  with Sarah Wallace and Amy Delany was spent remembering Tom and  giving Sarah a tour on what has been happening with the art wall. A number of people stopped while we were changing the paintings to say how much they loved seeing art on the wall. How it made their day brighter to have something interesting to view. Tom Wallace was responsible for getting artists work to and from Ochsner's hospital to hang on the art wall. He organized shows every two months and worked so hard to keep work on the wall. At his death the hospital named the wall the Tom Wallace Memorial Art Wall. At that time Elizabeth Thompson took over Tom's job of bringing the work to and from the artists. She organized the shows on the wall until 2013.  Bonnie Smith Williams is helping now, by maintaining a list of artists who want to display art on the wall. Many thanks to Amy Delany and the hospital for being supporters of the arts.

DSFAA Meeting March 3rd 2014

 Bonnie Smith Williams will present the Denham Springs Fine Art Association program for the March third meeting. The program will be about "Embracing Your Mistakes" using a creative approach to make mistakes productive and beneficial to a painting. She will bring a canvas for painting  to demonstrate some methods and techniques used in her work. Everyone attending the meeting will be encouraged to paint on the canvas. The finished painting will be used as an item for a DSFAA fund raiser.   You are invited to attend the meeting and try your hand at painting.  The meetings start at 7 p.m.  in the conference room at the Denham Springs Municipal building, 941 Government Drive, Denham Springs, LA.  Memberships are being accepted at this time. So if you are not a member join now! Refreshments will be served before the program.
