Artists for the Stoked About Denton Exhibition are Perri Hamilton and Lin Hampton.
Perri Hamilton's statement:
"Through the medium of watercolor, my art reflects my interest in the ever-changing, growing, blooming and decaying nature found in the North Texas region. The patterns, textures, and the variations in light of the intimate views of my garden, local parks, empty lots, and my neighbor's yards fascinate me, particularly the metamorphoses from season to season."
Please Note: Looking for new artists to exhibit in Feb-Mar-April and then May-June-July.
I will need 2 artists each time.
Please contact me by email at
carolstoecker1@gmail.com.
Carol Stoecker is the coordinator for this exhibition. If you are interested in showing, please contact her at storytimeartist@yahoo.com.

You may paint, sketch, quilt or what ever creative endeavor you desire in the fellowship with your artist friends. Lunch and fellowship are the best parts!
