National Press Building, Washington, DC

Advertised as a one-day show, this event was so well received, the show was extended for one full week. Held in the National Press Building in downtown Washington (DC), six artists displayed their work. A wide range of mediums – water color, oil, marker, gouache, and mixed media – covered the walls in an amazing array of talent, power, control and skill. Exhibiting artists were Doreen Hardie, Gordon C. James, Christine Parson, Sylvester Shaw, Carmen Torruella-Quander and Wendy L. Wilkerson.
