On Thursday, Feb. 23, Temple Israel Sisterhood will be hosting an artist workshop led by Renee Schwadron Lewis. The entire community is cordially invited to attend, participate and meet Lewis. Who was "born" with a talent for combining texture and color.

An experienced artist, Lewis's works have been exhibited in many venues and reflect her inspiration, aesthetic value and sophistication of the Post Impressionists. She has a B.F.A. degree in fabric design from The School of Art at Syracuse University and has studied art history in the Netherlands.

Through her focus on fabric design, Lewis has developed an eye and proficiency with repetitive patterns, which continues to be a theme in her current work. At the workshop she will explore the delightful results of repetitive design and each participant will create a work of art. Also of interest, Lewis has created a refreshing look at the art of color pencil. She says, "Art can be created in solitude but it must be seen and hopefully appreciated for the creative process to come full circle."

The workshop will be from 7 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. in Temple Israel's Roth Social Hall, and no drawing skills are required.

Please RSVP to the Temple Israel office (407-647-3055, office@tiflorida.org). The cost is $10/person. Refreshments will be served. Temple Israel is located at 50 S. Moss Road in Winter Springs.
