NEXT MEETING, OCT 17, 6PM
Linda is an award-winning, mixed media artist from The Bay Area. She’s also a workshop/demo leader, curator and juror now living in the Sacramento area. She has exhibited paintings, sculpture, permanent and temporary installations locally and in the Bay Area along with several large commissioned pieces for restaurants and other commercial spaces. Her work is part of numerous private collections throughout California and the U.S. Additionally, Nunes is one of the original co-founders of Rancho Cordova Arts.
Her work is mostly non-narrative, characterized by gestural marks, texture and color and is primarily two-dimensional. The work is created in encaustic, an ancient medium dating back to the first century B.C. where tree resin and bee’s wax, in a molten state, were mixed together and applied to a rigid surface. It can be colored using various pigments or art media. Collage or photography can also be used with encaustic. And the finished surface of this unique medium can be polished to a beautiful high gloss. Linda is dedicated member of the Sacramento art community with a Studio Art degree from California State University, Sacramento. More of her art, workshops and event information can be viewed at her website LindaNunesArt.com. Upcoming Meetings Nov. 21-

Jeanine Robb is a Folsom resident and science teacher at Folsom High School. Teaching has been a love of hers for nearly 35 years but she is equally passionate about art and has been since she was very young. Jeanine has focused greater energy toward her artistic endeavors over the last 15 or so years. Her art has been the conduit of mental centering and wellbeing in addition to being a creative outlet.
Jeanine has worked in a variety of art mediums, including oils, acrylic, pastel, pen and ink, collage, glass and textiles and her painting medium of choice has been watercolor for a very long time. Over the last few years, Jeanine has explored the combination of various artmaking processes including printmaking, collage, mark-making and color exploration which has resulted in her current body of mixed media work. Her current work takes on an air of whimsy through the incorporation of bright colors, patterns and doodling. Some of her favorite subject matter includes still-life that involves color, pattern, shadow and light. She is always on the lookout for new ways to experiment with her materials as well as interesting perspectives of subject matter. Her work has won awards including 3 Best of Shows, Award of Excellence and Merit Awards. Jeanine has had work published in international, national and local magazines. She has taught several workshops in the local area, combining that love of teaching and art, and sharing her techniques with others. Jeanine currently teaches printmaking classes offered through Folsom Parks and Recreation. WELCOME NEW MEMBERS TO EDHAA!

President's Message
Hi EDHAA members,
We have some very exciting art activities and opportunities to look forward to in the weeks ahead. We join art associations to make contact with other artists, to participate in art shows and events, to find venues to display your art and to learn from each other at the monthly demonstrations. Mark your calendars so you won’t miss any of the many activities we’ve organized for our members. For those EDHAA members who are new to art associations and aren’t ready to enter the shows yet, because you don’t have the inventory to display, this is a golden opportunity to volunteer to help or just attend, ask questions and learn!
OK, Here’s What’s Happening:
Now to Sept.19 Meeting - Library Themed Art Challenge. This challenge is designed to support the 1st Annual Fine Art Festival on Oct. 14. We encourage every member (participating in the event or not) to join the art challenge. The Friends of the library are enthusiastic about using our art to promote the event, by displaying them in the case in the library lobby and possibly putting them at various locations in the library and having a scavenger hunt. Please participate and submit your image to Bob to be posted to Facebook & InstaGram, and to display at the Sept. meeting. Members will vote for their favorite. A surprise for the winners!
EDH Senior Center wants more EDHAA art teachers to volunteer to teach classes in your medium 2D or 3D art. Their days and times are flexible. They also have wall space to display your art during the weeks you are teaching.

If you have the computer skills and the time to volunteer as our Editor & Webmaster, please step up and join our board. Bob will train you as needed. It’s a rewarding way to get involved.
