More scenes from CoA- Diane Russell and Glenn Decherd

There were so many wonderful moments at Celebration of Art 2011. We continue our series of photos of our terrific members and guests. THANK YOU to Ellen Shefi for taking these pictures. It's pretty demanding to set up your own booth... but to also get around to everyone's booth and snap off some shots... WOW!

DIANE RUSSELL (above) joined us for her first CoA event. Her portraits of local and nationally known musicians were a hit!

GLENN DECHERD (below) managed to evade the camera but his pottery captivated his customers! This was Glenn's first CoA as well!

ORA Northwest Jewish Artists is proud of the many talented artists who joined us this year!

Glenn Decherd: Pottery with heart!

First time guest Glenn Decherd works in clay almost daily. ORA fiRst became acquainted with Glenn's clay talents at the Community Warehouse CHAIR AFFAIR FUNDRAISING EVENT.

He has been donating his artwork to this remarkable community institution for years!

We are so pleased that Glenn decided to bring his wares to a sales venue...and that he chose us!

Tall elegant vases, beautiful bowls, tableware and other pieces of functional art will fill Glenn's booth. Earth tones, warmth and heart exude from all his works. Step into his booth and discover Glenn's gentle humor and sincerity. Glenn will likely tell you (with deep humility) about his grand explorations in clay which led him to an Advanced Degree in Mud!

Seriously.... you will delight in his artwork and in his conversations. Stop by his booth for both!

If you've been reading the blog you know where to find Glenn. If not.....
