Welcome

Updates From Nancy Inskeep, President, CPSA DC119

I am honored to be named the new president of CPSA DC119 following Andrea Roberts. Let me first thank Andrea for her service as President. I am happy that she will remain on the board working on Special Projects, beginning as the Exhibition Director for our 19th Annual Colored Pencil Exhibition.

At this time, the board is finalizing the schedule for this year’s events, focusing on the April meeting and program, the May 17th-June 19th Annual Colored Pencil Exhibition, and the chapter display for the 32nd Annual CPSA Convention. Some of the other activities that we are planning include holding the Annual Workshop, relaunching the chapter newsletter, implementing a service project, and finalizing the July and October programs.

I have found the chapter to be welcoming, imaginative, and quite frankly, somewhat fearless as members are not only willing, but also want, to try new techniques or products relating to colored pencils. We have a thriving membership with a strong volunteer spirit. I look forward to serving you as President.

Member Meetings

The chapter board is working on lining up exciting and informative meetings for our members. In January 2024 Barbara Dahlstedt demonstrated some amazing techniques using drafting film! This meeting was held via Zoom from the comfort of our homes. We learned so much!

Our next member meeting is scheduled for Saturday April 20, 2024 at 12 noon. It will be in-person at Springdale Nazarene Church. We are looking forward to a deminstration of the Grisaille method by John Middick.
Here’s a sneak peek:
