A 2-day handmade paper workshop was held at Town & Country

Fine Art Center on Marcy 27-28, 2010.  Nine participants made

paper from cotton and flax.  Pulp painting, casting, layering

and embellishing played a major part in this fun filled weekend. 

There was a feeling of excitement in the air as students from Rosie Huart's Lifelong Learning

class joined her at Synesthesia Gallery's opening reception recently.  It was a cold

evening outside, but with candles, music, art and wine the ambience inside was set and

the mood of warmth permeated throughout the gallery.

It was a festive evening as members of the Western Ohio Watercolor Society were acknowledged during an awards ceremony.  Here Rosie is accepting her 2nd place ribbon and check for her piece titled "A New Thought II" as seen below.

Friday evening  was the opening of Rosie Huart's exhibition titled "Paper, Prayers and Poetry"

at Bears Mill in Greenville, Ohio.  One of the memorable pieces displayed is a poem Rosie wrote for Eileen Lee on Japanese handmade paper and marbled sumi-e ink..   Rosie renamed 40 pieces of art with the name of Eileen to honor her friend. The artist plans to donate the poem piece titled "In Eileen's Time" to the Hospice facility after the exhibition.  The exhibition runs until Saturday, October 24, 2009.  In the poetry corner of Bears Mill is a display of poetry written by the artist.  Rosie invites the viewer to the tactile experience and the soulful reading of poetry.  (6 hours after the opening Eileen changed her earthly address).
