Joyce Madden volunteered to be our historian. Be sure she gets
updated resumes and biographies for our history book.
WEB PAGE: daagonline.com We want & need a wider representation
of our artists on this site. New venues often want slides. This replaces
the need for them. We only want paintings that are unframed and non-shrink
wrapped. Joyce still needs a call prior to the meeting at which we bring our works.
The attempt to photograph framed works did not work – the glare could not
be removed. Thanks to Joyce for the attempt.
