Arts guild hosts Tea and Talk

The Coastal Arts Guild’s Thursday, Feb. 15, Tea and Talk event will feature Robin L. Berry, a lifelong creator — primarily a watercolorist with a technical career.

Berry’s teaching experience grew through seven years of community art classes with Portland (Woodstock) Parks and Recreation where her “Watercolor for All” was well attended. She also taught beginning drawing and acrylics. Along with an Associates in Technical Arts degree, she has studied painting, design and art history at Grays Harbor and Evergreen and Clackamas colleges. She has participated in many workshops, including those with Erik Sandgren, Erik Wiegardt and Fransis Fontana. She currently exhibits locally and paints regularly with a plein air group.

The tea will be spilled beginning at 2 pm at the Newport Visual Arts Center, located at 777 NW Beach Drive. For more information, go to coastarts.org or call 541-265-6540.
