Her parents encouraged her creativity by sending her to art school at the University of Iowa where she received a B.A. in Art History.

Joyce’s love of art started as a small child, scribbling with crayons, sitting on the floor with her father
who loved to draw. Her parents encouraged her creativity by sending her to art school at the University of Iowa where she received a B.A. in Art History.
After graduation she received commissions to draw historic houses in Waterloo, Iowa, but as a young woman, still felt obligated to work in the family feed business doing public relations work. And that was where she met her husband, Bill. They married, and he joined the company where they worked together until they moved to the South. Joyce’ years in Iowa were followed by many years and adventures in other places from Florida to the Pacific Northwest, and many places in between. And many years later, she feels fortunate to have his children, Gregory and Pamela, and Gregory’s wife, Joyce, still in her life. An invitation from her cousin Kathleen Anderson in Sierra Vista brought Joyce to this Southwest Paradise surrounded on all sides by mountains. She joined the Huachuca Art Association in 2002 and since then has enjoyed painting on Thursdays and teaching art to children.
Joyce considers the artists at HAA friends, and feels fortunate to belong to what she calls “the
best art group in the country”.

President’s Message
First and foremost: Trevor Cooke called me and wanted me to Thank all
of you who attended his wife’s Priscilla C. Cooke memorial service. He was
very Thankful to the HAA members who were there. She passed away 9 Feb
2017 and the service was at the Methodist Church on 9 Mar 2017.
Our featured artist for the month of March is Kuni Blacklock.. She has a great display, not only of paintings, but of her mosaic work.
The featured artist for the month of April is Joyce Geelings-Griffith. Please keep 1 April 2017 open for her reception from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
If you have information that you would like to share with the
membership, please let Gabrielle LaFargue know ahead of time so she may put it out to all. She can’t guess what anyone needs, so please be considerate and
inform her with the facts.
The date for the Board of Directors meetings has been changed to the 3rd
Monday of each month, if you’re interested in attending.

March’s Member Demo
March’s Paper Arts
On Saturday March 18, Kuni Blacklock presented a Mosaic demo. She showed an enthusiastic
audience the tools and materials she uses in developing her beautiful mosaics. She demonstrated
mixing and applying grout to a tile piece that she had laid out beforehand. Several of the
members who attended might convince her to do a Mosaic Workshop in the Fall. Pictures
provided by Gabrielle Lafargue
Arlene Ehrenberger generously provided each attendee a kit with all the supplies
to make beads and other art pieces by melting painted Tyvek paper with a heat
gun. We never knew what the results would be. Pictures provided by Gabrielle
Lafargue
