2015 Artists’ Studio Tour Flyer
Have you ever wondered how an artist creates a masterpiece?
Westmoreland County Museum will hold its 2nd annual artists’ studio tour scheduled for Sat., May 23 from 1 PM until 4 PM. The tour will feature local Mt. Holly and Hague artists: Clarence “Juice” McKenney’s handcrafted duck decoys, Linda Boatman’s oil paintings and pencil or charcoal sketches, Marcia Read Thomason’s hand-painted silk scarves, Teresa Edward’s still life oil paintings, Doc Dugan’s scenic oil paintings, Suzy Evans’ impressionistic oil paintings, and husband-wife artisans, Jim Bell’s woodworking pieces and Helen Bell fiber creations. Each artist will open their studios to the public and be available to explain their inspiration and artistic process!
