ISSUE: 9/10 ~ Sept./Oct. 2014
NEXT MEETING: Tuesday, October 28, 2014, 7pm
Meet the Club’s New President - Barbara Perryman.
Here is her artist biography so that you can get to know her a bit better. I began my formal art education in 1971 at Santa Monica College. After taking time out for marriage and family, I continued my studies at El Camino College. After receiving two scholarship awards there, I transferred to Long Beach State University, with an emphasis in drawing and painting. I have participated in many exhibits through out my career, but I am most proud of my recent endeavor: “Project 36” Twelve Artists, Twelve Playwrights - A Theatre Arts West Premiere. This was a very special event for me, in which twelve playwrights, chose twelve art works to write about. The short plays were then acted out by twelve very talented actors. This project was so important, because it brought several areas of the arts together as one. I also participated in Riverside Arts Council’s “Art Scape” Exhibit, which included many very talentedcont’d on page 3

artists from the Inland Empire. I have also exhibited at several of the very prestigious, Lake Elsinore Women’s Club annual art exhibits, and most recently taking 1st place in the oil painting category. Other group shows include: The Fallbrook Art Association Membership Show of Fine Art, and the Temecula Visual Expressions Show. My most recent solo exhibit was held at Bella Gallery in Lake Elsinore. My proudest endeavor however, has been my association with Dorland Mountain Arts Colony. My residency there in October, 2011 was truly the high light of my career as an artist, and as an associate artist, I enjoy continued growth and inspiration. I look forward to helping Canyon Lake Art Association grow in the coming year. Barbara Perryman

A variety of artwork was on display June 29 at the Lodge during the Canyon Lake Art Association’s annual “Art at the Lake” show. Pieces included 3D arts such as ceramics, sculpture, stained and hand-cut glass. The 2D artwork included oils, watercolors, photography and computer arts. Artists demonstrated their creativity by sketching or painting on site; along with the graphic artists showing how they create art with their computers. Guitarist and vocalist Jeffery Guarez provided background music as guests enjoyed the artwork and refreshments. According to event chair Joan Fakhoury, the highlight of the day was the silent auction, where almost every piece was auctioned or purchased.
