HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

The January Art Walk at Flying Leap has two special features:

• Kartika Damon will be offering an Art Journaling session from 7:00 - 9:00. Anyone can participate. No previous art journaling experience is necessary, and you can join in at any time during those two hours. Please bring a blank book of some sort for a full experience, but if you don't have one or forget, blank paper will be available. All other supplies will be provided, but if you have a favorite pen, you might want to bring it..

Kartika is a master of the Art Journal, her long-term preferred art form, which involves both writing and visual images. She has made many beautiful and richly inspiring journals, and she will share ideas and tips, as well as helping you discover your own authentic expressions.

• David Fleming will be displaying a new body of work—a series of enhanced photographs featuring Fairfield landmarks and architecture. Many of these are almost abstract in their geometric designs. Some have the simple beauty of an Edward Hopper painting. Others have the textured richness of a lithograph. David's new work is very innovative and varied and wonderful to see as a group.

• Works by Mikaila Maidment, Juliette Daley, Genevra Daley Bell, Patty Hancock, Danielle Shier, and ceramics by Rick Dunstan, Mara Winningham, Kasie Clemmons, and the Empty Bowls project are also still on display.

• As usual, you can also enjoy tea in the Paris Salon, looking at Art books in the library, playing in the Fun and Games Room, or browsing in the gift shop.
