Leslie isn’t your everyday point and shoot photographer.
She has a keen eye and her photographs are true observations of the world around her. Most of her work is in black and white…they speak a truth not easily put into words.
Blue Sky is hosting their inaugural on line membership show called VISUALIZING 2020. Check out her photos :
She’s using color for this event. Click on her name, read her bio, and view her work!

Due to COVID most galleries and artist groups are turning to the internet to stage virtual shows.
ORA is no exception. Keep watching this blog. Now that we have a vision for how to move forward, we do have some shows planned that will be available to you…without ever having to leave the comfort of your home!
We’re proud to announce that Linda and Sharon will be in the 42nd annual Celebration of Creativity! See the details in the flier below! Southminster Presbyterian Church is located on SW Denney Road. The full address is at the bottom of the flier.

Come celebrate art with us!!!!
WHY I PAINT PORTRAITS OF MUSICIANS is the name of the article in the magazine REALISM Today written by Cherie Dawn Haas. It’s a wonderful article filled with brilliant insights and relevant to painters and non painters alike! Here’s the link: https://realismtoday.com/figurative-art-painting-portraits-musicians/?fbclid=IwAR0YbAfCmMg3DW7UNbE7kwe5bvxTwlr6W_wYXaOrFDMFmWnncyS41kaHgZ8
Congratulations to Diane. We are so proud of your amazing work!
ORA President Diane Fredgant was recently featured in A POPULAR blog: The Times of Israel.
It’s a lovely bit of exposure for her as an artist and also for ORA!
Check out the blog!
Diane is a founding member of ORA and a very talented silk artist who also happens to sculpt in stone. She has a wonderful sense of humor which hopefully means she will forgive me for posting this picture of her taken at an ORA Chanukkah party where we also celebrated her birthday with beads, head gear and fancy glasses. (We love you Diane!)

We are pleased to announce that the ORAShalom Winter show is up! You can see the new display in the Isaak Foyer of Congregation Neveh Shalom.
Congratulations to Martha Decherd (her tallit is displayed above) who has taken on the reins of coordinating this show!
We offer our gratitude to Laura Joy Fendel who chaired ORAShalom for several years.
Most items in the display are available for purchase. A percentage of sales is donated to the synagogue.
Jane has a welcoming smile and a wealth of talent. Her work is varied and inspired. Stop by her booth this weekend to see what she has created for this show!
