In Paula Alasad Asbell's presentation, "sound mind" is not a reference to a psychological state, but refers instead to the source of the inspiration for her art: her favorite music and musicians. (in English)

NEXT EVENT VOL 5
We're thrilled to be returning to Gloucester Arts on Main. Saturday, June 15th. Social 6pm. Presentations 7pm. Free admission. Cash bar.
There were quite a few people who were hyped on joining the madness at our last PKN. So now is the time make it formal. If you want to present you must contact me and say so. That's about as difficult as it gets. I try to keep these as first come-first served. I would also like to limit it to 12 presenters so everyone can enjoy a full audience.
Despite the fact that only 7 presenters are listed below, we actually are now up to 10 presentations, with one being a couple's presentation. (I haven't quite figured out how to shame the other 3 into creating profiles yet.) If you're wondering about doing it, but not sure you're up for it, take the advice I gave Paula - How bad could it be for just 6 minutes and 40 seconds?
Come on in, the Kool Aid's fine.

Henna Art

The People's Art
BY PAULA ALASAD ASBELL

Sorry comrades, when Paula Asbell refers to her art as "The People's Art" she is talking about the people she creates the pieces for. We learn in this presentation the meaning and stories behind the images she paints for her people.
Explorations in Color
BY NAAMA ZAHAVI-ELY
@ VOL 3
ON NOV 10, 2012
Naama Zahavi-Ely was not aware she had an artist inside. Fortunately a friend put a brush in her hand and said, "Why don't you give it a try." Naama quickly realized she not only loved painting, but had an affinity for explorations in color.
Little Architecture
BY DALE WEISS

True Harmony
BY HEATHER HARMON

The X-Ray Lady
BY LITA TIRAK
@ VOL 2
ON SEP 04, 2012
Lita Tirak examines the early history of the X-ray, and the roles women and the upper class played in the commercial support of the new technology. She looks at the early X-ray industry, and the cultural role the new technology played in social interactions, from advertisements, to wedding announcements, before safety concerns overtook the popularity of this new experience.
