Program meeting for June Gene Sparling

Gene Sparling was our featured program speaker for the month of June.

Gene uses downed trees he finds on his property to make beautiful works of art, using a lathe and other tools. He has opened up a small gallery in his home to help meet the demand for his pieces.

 Also Terri Taylor, artist, gallery owner, educator, spoke about creating art, creating galleries, the benefits of artists working together in settings such as our art guild.

 Thanks Gene and Terri, for sharing your beautiful art and thoughts ♥

During the month of June Ouachita Artists Gallery featured the art of Dortha Scott, a Mt. Ida native known nationally for her design chosen for the Arkansas State Quarter.

 

This is the tenth anniversary of this event. But Dortha is an excellent artist, painting with oils.

 

A reception for her was held June 15th at the gallery.
