Ren Crawford's watercolor large colorful abstracts

Ren Crawford’s abstracts and collages are collected because of their color and diversity. Ren has been a well respected and collected artist for over 30 years. Often large and bold her art works well in rooms with vaulted ceilings as well as more intimate settings.

Diane Rasmussen and Ren Crawford invite you to attend their Foyer Show reception featuring many pieces of Diane’s jewelry and Ren’s beautiful paintings. Diane and Ren invite you to join them for food and live music from 2 to 5 PM on Sunday August 14, 2011. Doors open from 11 AM until 7 PM Sundays.

Diane’s use of wire wrapping stones and semi precious gems to create unique earrings, necklaces, bracelets and Zen Catchers has become the hot commodity since being offered to the public in 2009.

WIDOW’S WALK: Misty Cove Series by Nikki Leigh

Marcy McCann — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 03:25:22 +0000

I met Nikki Leigh author of Widow’s Walk a couple of years ago at a BookEm event in Waynesboro, Virginia. We were seated next to each other and she was a delight. Her outgoing personality and enthusiasm was infectious. The cover art on her books evokes a sense of beauty and mystery at the same time.

Nikki Leigh writes mystery novels

The product description:
“Lizbeth is a woman of uncommon strength and determination and that’s one of the things that her husband William, loves about her. When an unexpected turn of events cuts Lizbeth’s happiness short, that strength is tested in ways she never imagined. Her children are growing up in a time and place where death and loss are a common part of life. While she struggles with her own fears, she must help her children find their way through an uncertain future. Lizbeth keeps an almost obsessive vigil from the lighthouse catwalk. This makes her the ideal choice for the new lightkeeper for the Stormy View lighthouse. She must decide if she’s ready to move forward. Misty Cove residents are concerned about whether Duncan, the assistant lightkeeper, is hiding a dark secret? What long-buried secrets will challenge Lizbeth as she makes the journey through the pages of Lady Lightkeeper?”

In addition to designing websites and being a partner in a construction firm near Albemarle County of Virginia Nikki also runs a small consulting business promoting authors. Widow’s Walk comes highly recommended as one can see by reading the reviews on Amazon.

Marquetta Mitchell featured speaker during December’s Women Celebrating Women

Marcy McCann — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 19:09:03 +0000

“Women Celebrating Women began as a way to showcase a Front Royal jewelery artist’s work and grew to a regular get together honoring the talents and work of a new woman each month.” said Marcy McCann author of Chelsea’s Tree and the group’s founder. Originally planned to run for six months the group proved so successful that it is moving into a new year with no end in sight.

Marquetta Mitchell at WCW in December 2009

December’s woman of the evening was Marquetta Mitchell a Strasburg, Virginia investment representative who shared about her early years going to segregated schools in an otherwise integrated community. She went on to explain how her early professional life led to Social work but transitioned into financial planning with Edwards Jones. Many in attendance that evening were effected by her emotional story of life’s travels and the “blessings” she related about living in her treasured home town.

Guests bring a snack to share while coffee, tea, and cake are provided by McCann. All women are welcome to attend at 6:00 PM the first Sunday of each month.
