Fairborn Art Association

This information was received from Bruce Suter, "On Friday morning (August 6) at about 4 am, Debbie (our Sunshine Chairman) had a minor heart attack. The doctors have focused on her pain. Saturday morning, the doctors were unsure what to do and Debbie made up their mind for them. She had an 'episode,' so the surgical team, which was on call this weekend was alerted to come in. Debbie had a cardiac catherization today. The doctors found the cause of her heart attack -- a small artery deep within the heart that had collapsed.

Fairborn Art Association is excited to present this 5-day multimedia painting adventure workshop entitled, “Creative Layering: The Endless Mystery of Collage,” using hand-painted papers, acrylics, stamps, photo copies and most of all, our imagination. The excitement of designing will be done without drawing. The materials used and colors chosen will lead us on this painting journey.
