The flags do not carry prayers to gods, which is a common misconception; rather, the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white;

Learn about different types of painting surfaces and how to prepare them for various watermedia applications, enhance the topography of your substrates with acrylic textures, then see the beauty of staining and granulating watercolors! We will also "draw" with watercolor and cover ways to display watercolors safely without using glass! In addition to our live workshop time, students will receive a PDF of the project notes and images. </span></span></span></span><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span><span><span id="docs-internal-guid-ea2e42b0-7fff-5f93-e702-2e5e2063704b"> </span></span></span></span><span>Anyone interested in this workshops should <a href="mailto:carolinamixedmediaartistsguild@gmail.com" style="text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">email CMMAG </a>for details. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-05225a2f-7fff-c797-b477-a4ed8c59056f"><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2022 Workshops/Classes</span></h2><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">Plans are being made for workshops with outside artists in 2022.

</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">As a child, Jeanne loved to color and always had the biggest box of
crayons. Her mother went to college to get an art teaching degree when Jeanne was
four, and she remembers sitting alongside her mother as they worked in parallel
on whatever art homework she had been assigned.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">When her mother was taking a pottery class, Jeanne remembers making a
clay pot of rolled spirals inside a saucepan that she glazed purple. </span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">She also enjoyed making Papier Mache with her
mother and did a lot of sewing as a tween until athletics took her free time
starting in middle school.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span><p></p>

got hooked on beading in the late 1990s, when her friend, Elizabeth Lyne, who
is now a fine craft jeweler, started holding a monthly Beading Bee. The projects
progressed from making wine charms on memory wire to earrings and necklaces and
lead to her joining Capital Area Beading Organization in 2003. Jeanne held
several positions with CABO including newsletter editor, a brief stint as Treasurer,
President-Elect, and eventually President through December 2006. During her
time as President, she initiated the formation of a guild library, worked to
gain the guild’s nonprofit status, collaborated with Jane’s Fiber and Bead show
to provide classes at its Raleigh show, brought in national bead artists for
classes, and spearheaded enhancements to the bylaws.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-pI69muzoMrzvGdmzbEbbs5nWACBowvQZ9C3DD-twMxbYwO06784La0vcD-ykNu3cwQz7MubVWPePsiku0nUkxc2-FgKEtcjOw989maVLwc7bmxV0Kj7KJpdar7nHdVajenySbDz9iEQ/s900/Jeanne2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="599" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-pI69muzoMrzvGdmzbEbbs5nWACBowvQZ9C3DD-twMxbYwO06784La0vcD-ykNu3cwQz7MubVWPePsiku0nUkxc2-FgKEtcjOw989maVLwc7bmxV0Kj7KJpdar7nHdVajenySbDz9iEQ/s320/Jeanne2.jpg" width="213" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8dnNW5-snbCnwrzhbx3dXlHSCE1HExtIqpRaAUDMtQ3SZBM5pNpKzataL8xZxTrYfA0vEsbbER56gMdsTcmkPdvPdW7dbE9jwUkAZ9dD9rxNw3odDByOcNDX03sj0IHAOFAgldBiPqQw/s1280/Jeanne5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="956" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8dnNW5-snbCnwrzhbx3dXlHSCE1HExtIqpRaAUDMtQ3SZBM5pNpKzataL8xZxTrYfA0vEsbbER56gMdsTcmkPdvPdW7dbE9jwUkAZ9dD9rxNw3odDByOcNDX03sj0IHAOFAgldBiPqQw/s320/Jeanne5.jpg" width="239" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMPWK3MXDsbP-jtWFDaZh341Wz6OSGJW7wx7nMZqj4mAJiqVUQln_E3LucVB0hfM49GbXxrpX7m2yUUlkh-UYzW2U9VM-tKiOY7XK8iHExrnfKYg3aDo-LPZ2UIic5-WhY7I_vIIbmTSA/s399/Jeanne6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="399" data-original-width="299" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMPWK3MXDsbP-jtWFDaZh341Wz6OSGJW7wx7nMZqj4mAJiqVUQln_E3LucVB0hfM49GbXxrpX7m2yUUlkh-UYzW2U9VM-tKiOY7XK8iHExrnfKYg3aDo-LPZ2UIic5-WhY7I_vIIbmTSA/s320/Jeanne6.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jeanne continued
developing beading skills until early 2009, when she went with a friend to
Askew-Taylor and saw her first jar of Mod Podge since doing art projects with her
mom in the 1970s. (She recalls “I felt like her spirit blew right through me!”)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few weeks later, Jeanne bought a raffle
ticket during a quick trip to Jerry’s, and she won a 2-day collage workshop
with Sharon DiGiulio. After that class, Jeanne was hooked and took many workshops
in collage, acrylic painting, art journaling, book altering, and mixed media at
Jerry’s. Along with Sharon, some of her teachers were Ophelia Staton, Michelle
Davis Petelinz, and Jodie Ohl, to name a few. For her 50<sup>th</sup> birthday,
Jeanne hired local artist Ophelia Staton to come to her house and teach an art
journal workshop for her and five friends. It was the best birthday to date!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In 2015, Jeanne
was invited by Elizabeth Lyne to join the board of Carolina Designer Craftsmen
Guild, a 501(c)3 arts nonprofit, where she served as a member of the Friends of
the Guild Committee. She was part of a team responsible for recruiting and
retaining supporters, planning and executing the Friends of the Guild reception
at the annual craft market, and writing copy for Friends literature. Jeanne became
Secretary in 2016 and elected Treasurer in 2017. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the Executive Director move on at the end
of 2017, Jeanne took over her duties as well. Falling into this roll inspired her
to enroll in the Duke Nonprofit Management Certificate Program. Still acting as
Executive Director, Jeanne was voted President in 2019 and will hold that
office through the end of 2021. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 50<sup>th</sup>
anniversary show was held in 2019, but COVID forced the cancellation of the
2020 show. Unable to recover financially, the Carolina Designer Craftsmen Guild
unfortunately will be forced to dissolve by the end of the year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>

collector of fine craft and advocate for visual arts, Jeanne was devastated at
the loss of this unique event in our community. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After 6+ years of volunteering, she was
relieved to get back to being more present for her family and enjoying her own
art. Jeanne recently started following mixed media collage artist Elizabeth St.
Hilaire and has learned a lot from her gel plate printing videos as well as her
Fabulous Florals online class held in May-June 2021. Jeanne is inspired to do
more with gel printing.</span></p>

She does not think of herself a natural born artist, as people say, with lots of innate talent. Growing up did not provide her with encouragement, or opportunity. Self-taught is how she describes her art and art process. Persistence and determination are two traits that have shaped her life and made her into the artist she is today.</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="border: none; clear: right; display: inline-block; float: right; height: 624px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; width: 624px;"><img alt="Peggy" height="640" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-86AolIX6IuvoPPBG-XuGY9LYmefdGuGftctT6qF0kVZq-CK8fYWe4NSo67W-_CrYizaM5FqgbTBWsi0EUSJxXemJSRrLE3T2krPSpvKcZhKAhB0W9YvtPBwjEa49Mnn1tcQ9YQ=w640-h640" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="640" /></span></p></blockquote><p><span id="docs-internal-guid-f15194bf-7fff-5244-4573-683630fafd56"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span></p><p>Peggy grew up in the mill-town of Columbus, Georgia. In school, she always favored reading and writing over multiplication tables and long-hand division. Her mother often read poetry books to her in a soft, Southern voice orchestrating the words, pitching the vowels, and measuring the consonants into a melodic blend she craved to hear. </p><p>As for art, she says she got an A in eighth grade for staying quiet, not giving the teacher a problem, and for trying hard. When she peeked to see her classmates drawings, she says she wanted to hide out in the girl’s bathroom the entire class period. Instead, Peggy stayed, stuck out the embarrassment of her drawings like the one-dimensional Ferris wheels she chalked on black paper, and the anguish she endured over a pottery bowl she could never get to look like anything but a pink blob. She was one of those people who shied away from art after that experience telling everyone the typical, I can’t draw stick people.</p><p>Peggy goes on, <i>My children all born in the late 80’s, became the impetus and the inspiration for scrapbooking, which eventually evolved into art making. </i>She says she had long ago assigned herself the role of family historian and wanted to record the lives of her own children. <i>I started slowly. In fact, I am not sure I realized the skills of design and color theory that I incorporated into my scrapbooking, but they were there. Intuitively, they were there. </i></p><p>Then in 2003, Peggy’s “art career” took another forward step toward the kind of art she makes today. She took an introductory class to the principles of altered books. Shortly after that class, she completed her first altered book, a tribute book to her mother. The skills required for altered books paralleled scrapbooking nicely. She confides she loved making altered books because they were so 3-D. <i>I could make images leap off the page, have life and vibrancy and I could use magazine images, paper napkins, note card images—anything, absolutely anything so I would not have to draw.</i> She reminds us she had been telling everyone including herself that she could not draw stick people. </p><p>Nevertheless, she persisted this way for years in making altered books. She thinks her books looked good. She always got compliments on her excellent use of color, and a few commissions.</p><p>But after awhile, she wanted more. She says, <i>I thought to myself one day, why should I limit myself with that kind of thinking. Of course, I can do whatever I set my mind to do.</i> She wanted to be what she considered to be a “real artist.” She decided she wanted to draw. </p><p><span id="docs-internal-guid-d7ec0fba-7fff-1fdf-66d6-de16f7f7e0a1"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 624px; overflow: hidden; width: 624px;"><img alt="A close up of a pink rose

Every Sunday for three years, she drove 45 minutes from her home in Raleigh near “Big Wake Med” Hospital on New Bern Avenue to downtown Wake Forest and then back home again—and she repeats For Three Years! Peggy is including a poem about the drawing process:</p><p>Drawing Class</p><p>I begin my lessons<br />with Bargue drawings<br />that emphasize exactness.</p><p>The image in my head<br />I sketch with precision<br />and flawless ease.</p><p>But my undisciplined mark making <br />does not match the images.<br />Instead, my drawings look like scribbles</p><p>searching for a recognizable form.<br />Charles Bargue used simple lines <br />created hidden perspectives,</p><p>soft contours juxtaposed<br />against jagged lines,<br />concepts of light</p><p>and shadow playing <br />against each other<br />in complex ways.</p><p>Renderings that look<br />so sensuously abundant <br />become for me lessons </p><p>to practiced discipline<br />training my hand<br />and mind to work</p><p>together, to glide<br />over the paper<br />to create illusions</p><p>and bring my subjects<br />to life like poetry.<br /><br /></p><p><span id="docs-internal-guid-aea35249-7fff-4bf2-ac78-9b275dda8daa"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 705px; overflow: hidden; width: 658px;"><img alt="A drawing of a person

Since then, she has developed her own “style,” her own “voice” as a Southern poet. </p><p>Today elements of poetry, drawing, painting, color, persistence intermingle in her work. The one element of the art making that she did not anticipate is the Joy that comes with turning a white piece of paper into an object of beauty, delight, humor or whichever of the emotions she wishes to evoke.</p><p>Peggy laughs, <i>Oh, my goodness, if I had known art could bring me so much pleasure and joy I would have started at age three!!! </i></p><p>Today, she knows her strengths and weaknesses when it comes to art. Most importantly, she says she knows her preferences. Peggy has no interest in becoming an illustrationist. She says that she appreciates drawings so realistic one could comb the hairs of a man’s beard, but that is not her style. She much prefers altered realism like the one shown here. </p><p><span id="docs-internal-guid-9e7ee2a0-7fff-ca24-624d-92bc4b4aba63"><span face="Calibri, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 780px; overflow: hidden; width: 624px;"><img alt="Diagram

Currently she is working on a project called “Arting Your Journal” adding elements of color, texture, text, pictures to a journal that she fills with words, thoughts, emotions she will later turn into poems. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR5tuk8oIT32tqVrglTpbIWn90X64Q85W-7t6mou2Q6u8zLht8PGZlI0alV6FO_KbIWkQ4fdpKXP7PMaGHHzsfPlm94WxhAZpKY01bKwzIyP9Losn7JS3pu9FVUZEe6X6PTgkH0Qit9_o/s624/Peggy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="624" data-original-width="468" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR5tuk8oIT32tqVrglTpbIWn90X64Q85W-7t6mou2Q6u8zLht8PGZlI0alV6FO_KbIWkQ4fdpKXP7PMaGHHzsfPlm94WxhAZpKY01bKwzIyP9Losn7JS3pu9FVUZEe6X6PTgkH0Qit9_o/s320/Peggy.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p>She says another important lesson she has learned is “Do SOMETHING Every Day”. On any given day, if you look for Peggy, she can be found painting, drawing, collaging, sewing or writing—but most likely if you were the proverbial fly on the wall, you would find her working on as many as she can squeeze into the day. And she laments over the time that must be spent on dishes and laundry, which she says take away from the passions of her life.</p><p>Retirement is on the horizon for Peggy. Her day job at Wake County Human Services ends March 11, 2022. After a rest, she hopes to work at a local DWI agency providing art instruction. Whoo hoo.</p><p><i>Imagine that. The kid who couldn’t became the adult who can and then goes on to teach. I couldn’t ask for more. And I am grateful for everyone who has helped me along the way!</i></p><div><br /></div>CMMAGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03889035817835496769noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797268420284038365.post-48708052616398999442021-09-09T19:11:00.002-04:002021-10-05T19:15:19.924-04:00September 2021 Business Meeting<p><span style="color: #2f5496; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">The meeting was held via Zoom on Thursday, September 9, 2021.</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-2bcd3c99-7fff-b6f9-b7c4-ea28c5abb678"><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span style="color: #1f3863; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Welcome</span></h3><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Linda Poche opened the Zoom meeting with a welcome. </span></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span style="color: #1f3863; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Creativity Exercise</span></h3><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 8pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ilona Isaacs led a creativity exercise called Target Practice, which included seven drawing activities to spark creativity and build eye-hand coordination .</span></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 2pt;"><span style="color: #1f3863; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Upcoming Events/Outings</span></h3><ul style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Noto Sans Symbols", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Zoom Open Studio Playtimes</span></p></li><ul style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="2" dir="ltr" style="font-family: "Courier New"; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.295; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Playdates or Open Studio times, which are free to all members, are scheduled for the Saturday before the business meetings at 10AM and a Sunday afternoon later in the month.

Kathy always dabbled in some sort of art all throughout her childhood and discovered her true passion, beadwork, in 1999. She has spent the last 20 years creating hand-woven beaded jewelry, traveling the east coast selling her work at art shows and teaching classes throughout the US. Kathy created her own beading technique back in 2007 and wrote a book that was published in 2010, Bead Quilled Jewelry: New Beadwork Design with Square Stitch. You can find Kathy’s work on her website at <a href="http://www.kathykingjewelry.com" target="_blank">www.kathykingjewelry.com</a> and she sells kits and tutorials in her Etsy shop, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/KathyKingJewelryShop" target="_blank">KathyKingJewleryShop</a>.</p><p style="text-align: left;">As for mixed media, Kathy joined CMMAG in August 2019 after playing with ATCs and other small projects over the years. During covid in 2020, Kathy discovered art journaling and has truly become addicted to it, loving the mixing of collage, paint and stencils. She took a class at the 2019 AOC introducing her to printing with gel plates and loves using the prints in her art journaling pages. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Kathy was excited to be accepted in the Cary Gallery of Artist Small Treasures show earlier this year, in which she won third place. She has recently been accepted in the Cary Gallery of Artists as well and will start selling her work there in September. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Kathy looks forward to getting back to doing art shows and teaching again. She looks forward to do more mixing of her beadwork with her mixed media work to create more sculptural artwork in the future. </p><p style="text-align: left;">You can see more of Kathy's creations on her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kathys_art_adventures/" target="_blank">mixed media Instagram page</a>, her<a href="https://www.instagram.com/kathykingjewelry/" target="_blank"> jewelry Instagram page</a>, or on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kathykingjewelry" target="_blank">Facebook at Kathy King Jewelry</a>.

<td align="BOTTOM"><br />Maureen Seltzer is a mixed media artist based in Wake Forest who specializes in hand-printed paper collage art. Maureen grew up in Garner. After graduating from high school, she went to school in Boston for Industrial Photographic Science and later went to work for Polaroid in research and development. Before the digital world took over, making traditional photography obsolete, Maureen worked as a darkroom tech at SAS and The Wake Weekly. <br /><p></p> <p>Maureen has always enjoyed creating art and focused on watercolor for 20 years. A few years ago she was looking for a way to add more texture and meaning to her work, and it all started by accident. While researching mono printing techniques to teach to middle school students she learned that unflavored gelatin could be used as a base for holding paint. She was convinced it would never work but soon found herself with a trash bag full of printed, abstract papers. These papers lead to her collage work. </p><p>Maureen’s collage pieces start with a fast under-painting to mark out the colors onto a canvas. She then mono prints onto old papers using paint, a gel plate, and found objects to create texture and dimension. She then tears these very textured, abstract mono prints and glues them onto the canvas much like an artist lays a brush stroke. From far away it is hard to tell that the artwork is made of tiny pieces of history of everyday life, but on closer observation you may see bits and pieces of a music sheet, a crossword puzzle done by a friend, or a map. By using old papers, Maureen feels that her pieces have a history and somehow the people that once owned them are now a part of her art. </p></td>

</tbody></table><p>Maureen is a much sought-after teacher of children’s art classes in the Triangle. She also teaches adult workshops in mono printing at her studio, a dream she held in her heart for quite some time. She has been a contributing artist for Gel Press® and served as a guest artist on a live broadcast with Jerry’s Artarama of Raleigh. Maureen has received many accolades as her pieces have been chosen for shows across North Carolina. Her piece, <i>If Mother Nature Could Dance</i>, was chosen for the Spotlight on Wake Forest Artists event. The piece was digitally reproduced as a large mural in brick vinyl and applied to the façade of the Wake Forest Renaissance Centre in downtown Wake Forest. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjShj_JxspbKvy5EFk2Q-JlHMsKW9qocHhvvs5SvtTU1UnkIbQWXmpVfGMehKOkyH32pkH2INEkf6d7XMDnLNtsJKaEwTzoLL5LW2exOZepbcMJAWedOuBRssMwyFSQpsAC7UtzlNbf5T4/s1920/Elvis16x20seltzer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjShj_JxspbKvy5EFk2Q-JlHMsKW9qocHhvvs5SvtTU1UnkIbQWXmpVfGMehKOkyH32pkH2INEkf6d7XMDnLNtsJKaEwTzoLL5LW2exOZepbcMJAWedOuBRssMwyFSQpsAC7UtzlNbf5T4/s320/Elvis16x20seltzer.jpg" width="256" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCM6UCzVr7Gu4znUJBK8fql7Of4J9uTxWtfhpCAk0ICZ5IuqvgeJePVRlFk-Ophh1vF4woot_xx7UboYlYFs-0NBSOL7UOC1ri6zMHygMoOikgBNWR9Ki0nPO0LhzEjKscs0sdTsmClJk/s1920/SpanishDancer18x24show.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1920" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCM6UCzVr7Gu4znUJBK8fql7Of4J9uTxWtfhpCAk0ICZ5IuqvgeJePVRlFk-Ophh1vF4woot_xx7UboYlYFs-0NBSOL7UOC1ri6zMHygMoOikgBNWR9Ki0nPO0LhzEjKscs0sdTsmClJk/s320/SpanishDancer18x24show.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p>Maureen has been a member of CMMAG for four years.
