Ann Correia

She entered twenty-three pieces. It was a pleasure to see her growth and changing style. Loved her pen ink and water colour studies of Amerindian life, so reminiscent of her mother. Small items like cards, titles, pendants were affordable and interesting. Ceramic casserole dish on loan was outstanding.

Irene Gonsalves

A master potter or should I say mistress of her medium showed how multifaceted she is in pencil, pastel and charcoal studies. Loved her “Still Life” and “The Benab” and “Country House” – clay stained and carved and mounted simply on a wooded plaque. An unbelievable amount of work
