Haunting is our October art challenge for our members.
As before, the staff of Hill Center in DC picked their favorite artwork from all our submissions and awarded NAN RAPHAEL, photographer, with a $20 gift certificate on Nov. 2. Here is her winning photograph: Haunted Dentist House.
Every month, CHAW’s website and CHAL’s presents a blog called Mind of the Artist. One of our CHAL members submits their own short bio about their artwork along with artwork images.
October, we present: Anne Albright. Anne joined CHAL in 2020 and is on our volunteer Steering Committee while also serving as president of Washington Water Color Association. She paints and continues her studies in watercolors after her 35 year career in IT.
