A few residents respond to the Towers Art Show

Dear JoAnn,
I just want to say “Thanks” to you, the staff and whomever helped to put together the wonderful art exhibit, it was the best.
I was very impressed with the amazing talent of so many people that live here.
I can’t even draw a crooked line, but I can appreciate and enjoy the work of others.
Thanks also JoAnn for all you do to bring us so many programs for our pleasure.
You’re the greatest.
Sincerely always,
Lorraine Roach



JoAnn and Pam,
Thank you for the great art show-and I thank you personally for my part in the show-you are two gals who can really do it!

The Towers Resident Art Show

The Towers Resident Art Show opened with a bang on Thursday, June 30th.
Beginning with a lovely reception featuring mango champagne punch and a variety of delicious hors d’ oeuvres, the Towers residents were treated to the works of twenty-one of their peers.
Exhibitors included:
• Ruth Allen-collage, pastel and stone sculpture
• Inga Behr-collage and underwater photography
• Betty Bent-oil painting
• Ray Blik-collage, oil painting and pottery
• Merv Cooper-stone intarsia
• John Crouch-oil painting
• Fred Emmerich-stone intarsia and bonsai
• George Gardner-cartooning, pastel and sketch work
• Peter Hall-oil painting
• Herb & Marilyn Harris-clay sculpture
• Mollie Hayes-needlepoint and knitting
• Rita Levant-oil painting
• Lillian Lever-oil painting, sculpture and mobile
• Sally Levy-watercolor and acrylic painting
• Margaret Lien-watercolor and pastel
• Pat Matheny-watercolor
• Bob Rocl-oil painting
• Leanore Saks-oil painting
• Ruth Simons-collage
• Marilyn Whitmyer-hand quilting

With over one hundred pieces on display, each artist was on hand to answer questions from the crowd, and what a crowd! Those in attendance were overwhelmed at not only the quantity of work, but the quality as well. Some were surprised to find so much talent in one location, others requesting a second showing. We are hoping to display additional pieces at our upcoming September Open House.
