As a result, Downtown Louisville has become a destination for arts lovers. Some previous receipients of the Women Who Light the Community Award have been Josie Heath, Molly Tayer, Ann Cooper, Jan McHugh, and Peggy Bruns.

May in the Studio

"The art process is an integration of your life. It is the whole process of living. The artwork itself, the finished piece is secondary. The ultimate goal is the process, the understanding of values and relationships, the perception of life in its totality."—Edith Niblo, teacher DPS.  May has been a month of reading and rumination in the Studio. Spring has been warm and the Studio extends outdoors to a yard filled with flowers that came early this year. Linda has planned the material for a 3 day Workshop in Ridgway... and a series of 12x12 inch paintings from the yard begins next week.
