Spring has brought some changes for the Prairie River Artists.
The following group members will be leaving this summer. June Ricklefs, founder of the group, is moving to Christopher Lake. Hilda Hackett, Al Johnson and Owen McCormack are retiring from the group this year. Lorraine Khachatourians has been accepted into the Artists’ Workshop group in Saskatoon.
The group will welcome the following new members in September when it resumes its biweekly painting sessions together:
Wendy Bertelsen, who works in watercolours and other media
James Chung, who works primarily in watercolours, gel pens and graphite
Renee Duddridge, who works in acrylics and other media
Diane Warren, who works in oil, graphite and pastel
The group wishes all those who are leaving all the best in their new endeavors, and looks forward to getting to know the newest members of the group in the fall.
