Toni Danchik to demonstrate

ART LEAGUE

Toni Danchik will be the demonstration artist at the Art League Meeting at 7 p.m. on Sunday, May 8, in Clubhouse 4.

Danchik was born and raised in South Africa and studied printmaking in Johannesburg, where she spent 10 years working as a graphic artist. In 1994, the painter moved to the United States and studied fine art with several well-known instructors, including Jove Wang, whom she felt unlocked the true artist within her and instilled a solid foundation for composition, rhythm, color and structure of the human form.

The artist regularly drives up and down the coast to find inspiration for her plein air paintings. She has won numerous awards and been juried into many national and international art shows. This summer, Danchik will be among the featured artists at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach for the third time.

Refreshments and art supplies will be available at the meeting, and Danchik will donate a painting to be the raffle prize. All LWers are welcome; people are encouraged to arrive early to get good seats. For those members who choose to participate, the popular choice theme is “flowers.” Artwork must be submitted for display by 6:30 p.m.
