Show organizer and Samarkand activity director Frances Goodwin said the artists range from seasoned professionals to novice creators. A licensed art therapist, Goodwin teaches watercolor and several other techniques to residents of the retirement community.
“Everyone has an artist in them, waiting to come out,” she says. “The residents and staff have created beautiful, unique pieces of art, proving you’re never too old to learn something new.”
A rich variety of media will be represented, including watercolor, oils, acrylics, pastels, photography, charcoal, pen and ink, and sculpture.
