Grand Opening of the Art Studio of TECAC Member Suzanne Verde Paddock

 

 

A few photos here of the Grand Opening of Suzanne Verde Paddock's brand new studio.  Her space is beautifully designed with lots of room to view her artwork.  It's the kind of space that encourages the viewer to spend time and take in all aspects of each painting.  Her studio is part of the Bedford Artisans Trail, and you can also see more of her work at TECAC.  Congratulations, Suzanne!!

Featured Artist for August, Shelley Koopmann

Well, summer is more than half over.  With that depressing thought you might want an evening out to check out what is happening in Bedford, VA to put you in a good mood.  Come see Shelley Koopmann's paintings that are on display at TECAC for the month of August, and also check out all of the other venues on Second Friday, August 8th.  Hope to see you there!

Mosaics by TECAC Member Edrie Bays

TECAC Gallery has so many very talented member artists, and Edrie Bays is one of them.  The photo above shows a portion of a mosaic bird bath she created.  Her design, as well as the work she put into this project, shows her commitment to her passion of creating art.  All I can say is the birds that visit this "spa" should be mighty impressed :-)  Come by the Gallery and see what Edrie has on display now.
