Program: Creating Art From Recycled Materials
Presenter: Ann Brownlee Hobgood, Renowned Hillsborough Artist and Designer
What an honor it is to have American artist Ann Brownlee Hobgood as our guest. As a designer, teacher, decorator, and artist, Ann has always had art as a part of her life. After retiring in 2006, she began making art using recycled materials, mostly figurative assemblages using metal and wood.
Her list of juried shows is long and we are lucky she is going to share her talents with us. Let’s learn to create some exciting art for our gardens!
