September four artists: Diane Collins, James Jenkins, Troy Blum and Laureen Deveney will hold a art show at Euclid Public Library

This September four very different artists: Diane Collins, James Jenkins,Troy Blum, and Laureen Deveney will show their art at Euclid Public Library 631 East 222St. Euclid ohio, 44123. Collins is a trained ceramicist/enameler; Jenkins is a painter; Blum is a folk water-colorist; and Deveney drawing/3D. They will share not only their personal work styles, but also bear a resemblance to one another when they attempt to work in three similar platforms: ceramics, drawing, and en-caustics. Ocassionally, this small group of artists get together to pay visits to local gallery art shows. They then analyze and critique what they see. This past winter they paid a visit to Baldwin Wallace Fawick Gallery in Berea, Ohio. where there were five artists: Eileen Dorsey, Hilary Gent, Dott Schneider, Dawn Teckler, and Jack St. John. Motivated by this show, they chose  to challenge themselves to work in the stlyes of two of the artists, St. John and Dorsey. For scale and material they decided upon St. John's identically framed large paper paintings and will contrast this to the scale and material of Dorsey who works in small plywood en-caustic's. On International Peace Day, Monday September 21st, there will be a free reception at the library to meet and greet these artists. All are welcome.
