“New Mexico” by Evy Okerstrom,
medium is acrylic, Price: $400.
This is my entry for the “Positivity Don’t Worry, Be Happy, Create”! Exhibit at the Casements in Ormond Beach.
The New Year brings fresh ideas and renewed energy to my Monday art class at Trinity Lutheran Church.
January finds the class focused on turning practice into presentation. Students are working on drawing and watercolor, refining line, value and color as their pieces move from the presketch to a gallery style display in the Fellowship Hall. Seeing their work move from easel to wall has been especially rewarding. The room begins to feel like a small gallery, and students gain confidence not only in their artwork, but in sharing with others. Several finished pieces will be available for purchase, making this a meaningful step for many who are showing their work publicly for the first time.
The Art Class at Trinity meets on Mondays in the Fellowship Hall. The time is 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm. January classes will begin Monday, January 5th and continue weekly. If you are interested you can contact me at eokerstrom22@gmail.com or 859-699-1506. Note: you do not have to attend every week. I charge $25 per class, and this covers various supplies that I hand out at each class. If you would like a supply list, let me know.
In December, I introduced “The Cardinal Collection”. Items can be used year round. This included a 16”x15”canvas tote bag ($20) with a 3”x3” magnet ($5) and a note card ($5) with the Cardinal image. They are sold separately or as a set. Let me know if you are interested in owning this Collection, as I have some of them still available.
“The Cardinal Collection”
“Positivity Don’t Worry, Be Happy, Create!” is the theme of the Florida Women’s Arts Association’s January Exhibit. The Casements, 25 Riverside Drive, Ormond Beach will hold the show January 3 – 29, 2026. All forms of expressions will be shown from abstract to representational. I will have my painting “New Mexico” in the exhibit. I hope you will able to stop by to see the exhibit.
Happy New Year 2026! Thank you for your support.
