Hello West Texans,

 

I am looking for artwork from consumers---paintings, drawings, sculpture, mixed media—for our newsletter. Right now I have 4 paintings but I would more artwork from the different parts of the state.

 

I would GREATLY appreciate it if any of you could send me pictures of artwork by consumers. A photo would be the best for us to use—for printing purposes. If you have something you can send electronically, it will need to be at a very high resolution. If you have questions about electronic images, email Margie Gardner—she is our layout/art person (she is copied on this email).

 

Also, if there are consumers willing to share their poetry, send that along to me. Poetry is easier to come by…it is the artwork that has presented a challenge for me.

 

Along with pictures or poetry, I will need the person’s name and which affiliate they belong to. If anyone is willing to write a brief—2-3 sentence—bio and include a picture of themselves, we would love to include that too.

 

I hope that ya’ll can help me out. I will need it as soon as you can send it!

 

Thanks.
