Beyond the Frame: Transforming Photographic Composites into Encaustic art by Wendy Savage.
From the President:
Greetings! We just completed our first venture of hosting a booth at an outdoor arts festival. Our booth at the Town of Cary’s Spring Daze was a big hit. We made over 100 portraits of people who dropped by the booth. While I was at the event, I spoke with several people who were interested in CPA and took one of our cards. I know the weather got a bit threatening in the late afternoon, but CPA was represented until they closed the venue around 4:30. A big THANK YOU to Jo Bolton, Nava Zvaig, Irene Kuo, Joe Lipka, Bhinesh Patel, John Lapp, and Will Robinson. I enjoyed meeting people and taking their portraits.
Henry Rinne, President
