Christmas Party
Next meeting
Thursday January 21st @ 10am.
Whim House @ Longue Vue House and Garden
Demonstrator is our own Gerry Claude..
Gerry asks everyone to bring sketchbook or pad and some pencils and
eraser.
We will be drawing. This will be fun for everyone even if you think you
can’t draw.
Gerry Claude has always loved art and the expression it allows.
She was the school artist through high school, studied art in
college at the College of William & Mary, Richmond Professional
Institute. After college, she was involved in the New Orleans art
scene and was the president of both the New Orleans Art
Association and Metairie Art Association. Gerry took a hiatus from
her professional art career and worked , for 28 years at the U.S.
Post Office.
Having recently retired, she has re-immersed herself in her art.
She says, "I have experienced great joy in resuming my
professional art career. I look forward to exhibiting, meeting and
talking with the public about my art. I am thankful that my art work has
been so well accepted. The wonderful city of New Orleans is full
of history and images which serve as the foundations for my pen
& inks and watercolors. I love to take historic images and make
them my own through my interpretation and vision. I am inspired
by the beauty and mystery in New Orleans.
Gerry creates unique pen and Ink and watercolor renditions of
historical New Orleans architecture and life in and around the
Crescent City. Her works all have a local flavor from flooded Katrina
houses to Schwegmanns bags. She strives for self-expression
with the use of details and realism. All of her work is original
and her list for commission house portraits continue to grow.
Gerry has won over 100 awards and has been accepted in many
juried exhibitions. One of her favorite honors was when her
drawing of a tree hung in the New Orleans Museum of Art. Gerry
participated in the Streetcar Art Project. Her design, "Throw me
Something Mister" was in front of the Aquarium and I-max Theater.
It is now in its permanent home on the corner of City Park Avenue and
Orleans Avenue.. Her second chosen design, " Jazzy Ride" is at
Uptown Antiques at 3806 Magazine.
President’s Report
The Happiest of the New Year to everyone. Trust enough cabbage and
black-eye peas were consumed to assure health and wealth for all of
our members during 2010. We should take a minute to reflect on how
art played a part in our lives this past year and realize how we were
enriched through our creative efforts. It’s also time to think about art
goals for 2010; remember, aim high. Take that extra leap, push your
limits then begin the journey one step at a time. Not all of us will reach
our goals but all of us will benefit from the exercise of realizing what
direction we would like our art to take and, in the process, formulate a
plan to get us there. Above all, relax and have fun. Remember, the
journey is just as important as the destination.
