We have enjoyed the art work of Janice Smith on our first community artist bulletin cover for the first half of Pentecost. The second half of Pentecost until Advent will feature artist Annette Smith (who passed in 2007). Annette was well-known by our longer term members. She is remembered by many for her art, many examples of which hang in other members’ homes.
Annette was an artist since she was six. Her first showing of her art was at Old First in 1996! She was a native of the Philadelphia area and attended The Philadelphia College of Art (now the University of the Arts). She was still painting well into her late 70s creating her warm, vibrant, signature watercolors.
Old First is lucky to have many pieces of Annette’s art and this piece and others are available for sale. If you are interested in viewing the artwork call the church offi
ce.
