PAINTING PARTY - June 21, 2008 Many members of the SCAA contributed to making
the Lilly oncology painting and creativity party successful.
On Saturday June
21st a group of SCAA artists, which included Romeo Downer, Sandy Fisher,
Judith Haims, Olga Kaczmar, Yolanda Menchaca, Cheri Marcovitch,
Peggy Patti, and Michael Powell helped to conduct a painting and
creativity party in partnership with Lilly Oncology, Providence Holy
Cross and WeSpark for cancer patients, their family, friends and
caregivers. Participants were able to use collage, acrylics, watercolors
or a combination to create works of art to express the
life-affirming changes that give their cancer journey meaning. The created
artworks will be entered into the 3rd biennial art competition called
“Oncology on Canvas” sponsored by Lilly Oncology. For many of the
participants it was their first encounter with paints or collage,
but all of them had nothing but praise for the experience and the opportunity.

In 2006 the Santa Clarita Artists' Association was awarded a grant from the city of Santa Clarita to conduct After-School Art Enrichment Classes. Instructor/Coordinator was Jaylene Armstrong, Assistant Instructor: Sandy Fisher. The lessons were thoroughly enjoyed by the children and on December 15, 2006 there was a festive closing
reception with all the children's art displayed. Each child was presented with a congratulatory completion certificate and a gift box of art supplies. Following are some photos of the classes, the artwork, and the reception.
