This month, the Art Docents would like to highlight Alyce Athanasiou and Hillary Revel. Alyce and Hillary are relatively new Art Docent members, both having completed their training in December 2025.
Alyce, a retired ICU nurse and proud grandmother, is a valued member of our Art Show Committee and has been consistently showing up week after week to help prepare for the upcoming show. Though she humbly claims she’s not very computer-savvy, Alyce stepped well outside her comfort zone by signing up to teach a digital lesson - something we are incredibly proud of. She is reliable, committed, and someone we can always count on.
We asked Alyce what her favorite part of being in the docents was and she responded "I enjoy being an art docent because I can give back to the community and somehow, I am getting back more than I’m even giving! I’ve learned a great deal about art and organizational skills. I have felt that it’s a welcoming environment to new people who may have new ideas and that there’s a constant striving to be even better."
Hillary Revel is a member of our Guest Artist Committee and played an integral role in our first Guest Artist visit last week as well as plannoing for this week's visits at Lexington, Daves and Van Meter. What truly stands out is that Hillary signed up to teach workshops right away—something many new trainees understandably hesitate to take on at first. Along with teaching lessons, she brings enthusiasm, confidence, and a consistently positive attitude, always with a smile.
We are so grateful to have Hillary and Alyce as part of our docent community!
