Talented
Artist and NVAL member
Sarah Crumpton
presents a Demo on Colored Pencil Art at the
General Membership Meeting
Monday, September 26 at 7:00 P.M.
Artist Bio: Sarah Crumpton
Sarah has always had a deep love and appreciation for God’s creations, and art has become the perfect way for her to convey those feelings. While she enjoys every aspect of nature, Sarah feels a special connection when looking into the eyes of an animal and seeing the light of the soul that God has placed there. She tries to capture that glow of life in the subjects of her artwork. Even though she has been exposed to a variety of mediums, she prefers to work in colored pencil because of the level of detail she can achieve.
