Katz to be featured artist at November meeting

FALLBROOK – Award-winning artist Darlene Katz will be featured at Fallbrook Art Association’s general meeting Nov. 13 and workshop Nov. 16.

Although Katz has a doctorate in immunology, she has always been artistically active, working extensively with oil and acrylic paints, pencil, charcoal, and clay sculpture from an early age. A professional artist since 1999, her award-winning work is displayed in Southern California galleries and national juried shows, as well as in private and corporate collections.

Katz’ inspiration comes from her travels as well as everyday scenes. She has created a series of paintings for each subject she paints, which highlight her versatility with color and value, as well as subject matter.

The Fallbrook Art Association meets on the second Thursday of the month, September through June. General meetings are held at the Fallbrook School of the Arts, at 310 E. Alvarado, and are open to the public.

At 5:30 p.m., FAA members are welcome to bring in one or two “paintings in progress” for a session with the featured artist demonstrator who will give suggestions for possible improvements. Refreshments will be served at 6:15 p.m., before a brief general meeting at 6:30 p.m., followed by the demonstration, which ends at 8 p.m. Each demonstrator offers a workshop the following Sunday at the same location.
