SUMMARY:September 2023 Demonstration by Kathy Armstrong!
DESCRIPTION:Announcing our September 2023 Season Opening in person demonstration by Rochester\, NY artist\, and NFWS Signature Member\, Kathy Armstrong! \nHer demonstration will follow a short NFWS Members Meeting where we will all be caught up to date on the events of the summer\, and hear about the year to come. \n   \n \nKathy Armstrong says that of all the media she paints in\, watercolor is her favorite because its transparent nature makes it possible to achieve a luminosity that isn’t possible with other mediums. In addition to her studio painting\nKathy enjoys plein air painting in oil\, and some of her largest paintings have been done in acrylic. Kathy teaches watercolor classes both in-person and virtually throughout the year. \nAfter a long career as a graphic designer in Wisconsin and Colorado\, Kathy returned to her native upstate New York in 2013\, moving to Rochester in late 2017. She is a Signature member of the Philadelphia Water Color Society\, Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society and the Rochester Art Club and paints outdoors with the Greater Rochester Plein Air Painters. Her work has been juried into international\, national and regional shows. Armstrong has been juried into the Memorial Art Gallery’s Rochester/Finger Lakes Exhibition three consecutive times\, winning the Alice E. Koret Award in 2019. She is one of the founding members of Pittsford Fine Art gallery at 4 Main Street in Pittsford\, NY. \n“When light touches the world it immediately brings it to life. It shapes and illuminates everything in its path. Trying to capture that light is the driving force behind my love of painting\,” says Kathy. \nTo see her work or for class information please visit her website at kathyarmstrongfineart.com.

SUMMARY:May 15th Members Meeting and Demonstration by Carl Purcell\, our May 2025 Workshop Artist
DESCRIPTION:After a brief in person Members Meeting\, we will have the pleasure of a demonstration by our May 2025 Workshop Artist Carl Purcell. This meeting and demonstration will be IN PERSON at the Amherst Community Church on Thursday\, May 15th from 7 to 9. \n      \nCarl Purcell taught painting and drawing at Snow College in Utah for 30 years. He is currently retired from the college but is a popular painting and drawing workshop instructor\, having conducted workshops throughout the West\, from Alaska to Arizona \, and in Great Britain. \nCarl is the author of the North Light publications\, Painting With Your Artist’s Brain (a watercolor book) and Drawing With Your Artist’s Brain. In addition his art has been featured in numerous articles published in The Artist’s Magazine and in Splash I. He has been invited to jury exhibits in Colorado\, New Mexico\, Wyoming\, Utah\, Nevada\, Michigan and Califonia. \nCarl has achieved signature member status in the National Watercolor Society and was given honor member status in the Utah Watercolor Society for his contributions to watercolor in the state. He has won numerous awards\, including a purchase award in the 2008 National Watercolor Society’s international exhibition. In 2009 Carl was chosen as one of the panel of three judges for the National Watercolor Society Annual Exhibition. \n“Stone Cadence” is one of a series of paintings I have been working on that explore the rhythmic patterns I see and feel in rock surfaces. I am drawn to the contrast of vertical fissures and cracks that cut through the horizontal layers of rock strata. To me these counter thrusts are like the unplanned events that cut through the well-laid plans of our lives. I see these rocks as living forms\, moving and dancing to the rhythm of life.” \nWhile his primary medium of choice is watercolor\, Carl also loves to work in oil and acrylic. Carl lives with his wife Nan in Manti\, a small town in central Utah. His paintings reflect his love of nature\, especially the rock canyon country of Utah.\n

SUMMARY:March 19\, 2026 Members Meeting and Demonstration by Jody Ziehm
DESCRIPTION: Our March Members Meeting this year will be different! It will be in person on March 19\, 2026 from 7 – 9 pm at the Amherst Community Church\, 77 Washington Hwy\, Snyder\, NY. ( Lots of parking behind the facility.) Snacks provided by our Hospitality Committee.\nAfter a brief Members Meeting highlighting the upcoming events for 2026\, we will be treated to a demonstration by an amazing artist\, our Signature Member and popular teacher Jody Ziehm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJody is a beloved watercolor artist and teacher based in Niagara Falls New York. Jody creates drama in her paintings by turning up the “volume” with color. While preserving the white of the paper for lights\, creating mystery in her darks\, invites the viewer in. Expressive marks using unconventional tools such as sharpened sticks\, create a raw textural quality. Two important words in her process are “letting go”\, enforced with the use of a misting bottle. She is more interested in the emotion of her inspiration\, rather than replicating an image.\nAlthough she believes that there are paintings surrounding us in our everyday lives\, Jody’s most recent portfolio is inspired by hosting Artful Travels\, guided journeys across Europe and the United States. We come together to explore communities in their rich history weaving together art\, culture0 and shared discoveries.\nHost of “The Art of Watercolors by Jody Ziehm” a long running local cable community program. It can be seen online at WWW.LCTV.NET on demand.\nShe teaches 3 weekly classes at the Carnegie Art Center in North Tonawanda New York. She also teaches an annual fall workshop at the Chautauqua Institution Chautauqua\, New York. Conducts workshops in an around Western New York and Canada.\nMost recent award -National Watercolor Society 2025 members Exhibition awarded the Julian Ellsworth Garnsey Past Presidents award. Juror Mario A. Robinson.\nAccepted into 2025 Transparent Watercolor Society Annual exhibition.\nSolo exhibition 2024 “Saturated Expressions” Carnegie Art Center North Tonawanda New York.\n  \n
