AFAF is a not-for-profit organization active in promoting the visual arts. Liz Wank, a member for three years, combines handmade paper and pressed flowers into specialty cards, bookmarks, and framed botanical art. The simplicity of her elegant designs are her signature, apparent even in the collages she offers. Glass luminaries with pressed flowers decorating the three sides along with the above mentioned items may be previewed on her website: www.elizabethsflowers.com. Lisa Clark, the current VP for AFAF, has a long history in the arts. Her imagination was encouraged early by her mom, an artist in her own right. The talent we see today covers a variety of mediums: oils, photography, altered art, jewelry, glass pins, cigar box decoupage, purses and hurricane candles. The delicate beauty of these women's designs may be viewed at a special open house which is scheduled for Sunday, February 11Th from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at the gallery where light refreshments will be served. Please join us. March Jim Brooksher will be the featured artist in the White Room for March at the Antioch Fine Arts Foundation.
