14 Artists...2 Decades...1 Teacher


Cape Cod Waterworks is holding an exhibit at the Brewster Ladies' Library for the month of October. The exhibit is a collection of work of several artists who all studied under Jane Heyerdahl. Since Jane retired and moved to Vermont, we all decided to hold one more exhibit together. What Jane didn't know, was that we were making this exhibit a tribute to her. The name of the exhibit is: 14 Artists ... 2 Decades ... 1 Teacher. On October 4th, 2008 we had an artist reception. It was a great turnout and it was a lot of fun.

Jane taught us all watercolor at Cape Cod Community College. After the course was over, several of her students wanted to continue on. Jane and a few students decided to meet as a group to critique and encourage each other. Over the past 20 years, the group has grown. I was one of the last of her students to join the group. At one point they had a gallery in Falmouth and since then several of the artists have moved on to start their own galleries. We have exhibited many times together and have helped each other through difficult times. It is a wonderful group of artists and I'm thrilled to be a part of it.
