2. Paula Parker Work Displayed at the Cavendish Library
Originally from Pawlet, Vermont, Paula has been a resident of Proctorsville and Cavendish since 1964. Coming to the decision that she would like to paint some of the beauty that she can see, she signed up for a series of six art classes offered at Green Mountain Union High School in 2005 at the age of 64. These classes, taught by Robert Sydorowich of Andover were so enjoyable that Paula decided that she wanted to continue painting. She continued to take classes since then from such artists as Patricia Darling Dean, Robert O’Brien and Steve Rogers. Previously, Paula’s work has been shown at the “open wall” display at the VAULT in Springfield and the Chester Art Guild.
Paula’s work, which includes six water colors, will be on display at the Cavendish Fletcher Community Library in the Redfield Proctor Room from October 13- November 11 and may be viewed during operating hours. Prints and cards containing prints are on sale at the circulation desk.
