She is an award-winning photographer and active member of the Manassas-Warrenton Camera Club\, Virginia Beltway Photographers\, Saab Club of North America\, and Central Penn Saab.

SUMMARY:"Women's Right to Vote" Artist & Curator Talk (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about the Women’s Right to Vote: 100 Years Since the 19th Amendment exhibit at Del Ray Artisans gallery and the award winners during this online discussion led by the curators\, Amy Kitchin Hower and Karen Schmitz. The online event is on Thursday\, November 12 from 7-9pm. \nJoin us at anytime during the event\, but you must register by November 12 at 5pm. This event is hosted online via Zoom; connection information will be sent to registered participants via email the day before the talk and again on the day of the talk. \nRegister Now \nThe Women’s Right to Vote: 100 Years Since the 19th Amendment exhibit at Del Ray Artisans celebrates the achievements of women in the U.S. over the past 100 years\, since the historic ratification of the 19th Amendment\, which ensured that the right to vote could not be denied based on sex. This amendment also led the way to more social equality and social reform. \nThis art exhibit features the work of Del Ray Artisans members and local area high school students. Artwork explores the suffrage movement beginning in the 1850s\, the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 60s\, and the struggle that continues into present day. Progress is achieved in incremental steps\, and the movement towards total equality in America continues. The year 2020 marks an unprecedented time of turmoil in U.S. history. One hundred years after the ratification of the 19th Amendment\, and in the midst of a world-wide pandemic\, a presidential race\, social justice demonstrations\, and economic recession\, lift your voice and vote. \nThe Women’s Right to Vote: 100 Years Since the 19th Amendment exhibit runs November 6-28\, 2020 at Del Ray Artisans gallery in the Colasanto Center\, 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue\, Alexandria\, Virginia 22301. Gallery hours are Thursday & Friday 12-6pm\, Saturday 12-4pm. Please wear a face mask and maintain 6? of personal space. The gallery is free\, open to the public\, and accessible. \nFor more information\, please contact the curators Amy Kitchin Hower (alkitchin.dc@gmail.com)\, Karen Schmitz (kschmitzart@gmail.com)\, and Drew Cariaso (druamaart@comcast.net).

DESCRIPTION:This workshop has been cancelled. \nInstructor: Jonathan Ottke\nDate: Saturday\, August 22 from 10am-1pm\nClass size: 5-9 participants\n(Register by August 18) \nIn this workshop we will create art from materials found in the natural world.

Examples will be on hand of things you can make.
