Barbara Kenyon will continue on as co-chair for the league.

Come and enjoy the students' artworks in the Student Art Show during the months of March and April. Our Featured Artist: Lois Stipp My husband Kevin and I moved to Hemet Four Seasons approximately 13 years ago. I have taught drawing and painting here for about 12 of those years. It has been a real blessing for me. We have many talented neighbors and friends. I have been the president for the Diamond Valley Arts Council for some 11 years. DVAC is a wonderful non-profit that promotes the arts (visual, music and theater) in our valley. It is located on Harvard St. in downtown Hemet. (TheDvac.org) I spend five months of the year on Beaver Island in Northern Michigan where I teach and own two Art Galleries. More information can be found at BeaverIslandStudio.com My artist statement is simple. I enjoy painting and creating a "moment" on canvas that touches another person's life. Like most artists, I remain a lifelong student of my trade. Creating, learning and sharing are the essential parts of the process. Paintings by artist of the month Lois Stipp
