Swell Sister Society: Inspiring Women in the Arts Since '08!

"I live EG w/my hubby and kids. My passion is photography. I've done some weddings (not my thing), and participated in the Crocker Art Auction (totally FUN!). But I need motivation and permission to fit in more selfish time for me. Let's play!"

""The Language of the Nude: Four Centuries of Drawing the Human Body" This exhibit was mentioned at Thursday's meeting and I think a field trip would be wonderful! If enough Sisters are interested..."

"Rachel, thank you, you're so sweet! It was so nice to meet you. I'm looking forward to seeing what direction you take with all those art supplies!"

"Art Care A At Eat Ate Tea Tear Car Cart Crate Rate Rat Tar Ear Tree Eater Cater Acre Race Trace Tee Are Cerate Caret Erect React Rate Ace Arc Cat Carte I'm sure there..."

"Hey, Petra...you fuse glass and class! "

"Hi Janet - Love your art! Looking forward to meeting you."

"Hey Wanda; Sorry I missed the meeting, I really hope to make the next one. Glad that it was a success! I have posted a painting, stop by and take a look."

"Hi Janet & Welcome! Your work is be-u-ti-ful~ Last night I met Petra and she works with glass as well. She was talking about leather glves up to her elbows...yikes! :) Anyway, we're glad to have you! "

"Welcome to Swell Sisters, Darcie! What's your area of interest?"

"Olivia, it was great to meet you last night! It is impressive that you made it to Swell Sisters despite your jetlag - glad to have you!"

"Welcome, Leah, to a collective of creativity! Tell us about yourself ~"

"I am interested in quirky art and the idea of transformative play. I'm putting out feelers for a small, loosey-goosey sub-group to the larger Sister Group that might want to join me in exploring this...."

"Hi All! Please use this forum to start discussions important to you. Be HEARD. INSPIRE others. We'll be more successful in our dialog if we keep the focus of each thread relatively on task...(hard,..."

"Hi Leslie, Missed meeting you at the meetup last night. I think it's going to turn into something great. What kind of painting do you do and can you post a sample of your work? "

"Hi Cree, Thanks for the welcome! I bailed out of the salsa meetup...decided to wait until a few of you could go with me. Looking forward to the next meeting! Wanda"

"Hello! I am a business owner with a great husband, an incredible daughter and five pets. I am hoping that this group will inspire me to get back into doing what I love... ART! I am a night owl and love to learn new things. Hope to meet you soon!"

"Hi, My name is Olivia. I just moved back to Sac. after two years living oversees. I'm excited to meet some people who like to make things like me! I do ceramic sculpture, jewelry, and leather work amongst other things."

"Very cool concept and I am really curious to see how this all comes together--excited to meet some swell sisters. I do mixed-media collage on found wood, etc."

"Hi! I am Sue and I love the idea of women coming together to create. I am looking forward to having other artistic females to share with, discuss with and just be with. I work in oil and collage and, being older, am trying to overcome my fears. "

"hello, my names Becky. My interests are acting, music, writing, taking pictures, making collages. I want to get into painting. Would love to meet local painters and get some tips and insights. "

"Hello, I love the idea of this group of women coming together. I look forward to meeting other creative women.. I am a photographer and writer. Creative Visions dance around my brain with a delight...."

"Endlessly blessed. Blissfully married. AND making it all INTO ART!"

"Hi, I am an art student graduating soon. I hope to find information about how to become a professional artist. I work a lot in ink and pencil. I've also been working a little in water color, clay and paint."
