She has worked in Radio and Television as an Operations Engineer, Production Assistant, and On- Air Host. She has acted in the following plays: The Best Christmas Pageant Ever as Mrs. Armstrong; South Pacific as Bloody Mary; Oliver as Mrs. Sowerberry; as Helen Potts; You Can't Take It with You as Rheba and more. She performed as Mary, Mother of Jesus in His Wonderful Presence...Then and Now... By Mary Ann Sadler; Nanny in The Crook and The Nanny"; Becka Sue in Trial by Error by Bette Dale Moore; Eleanor Richmond in Four Tickets to Christmas by Deborah Craig-Claar and Mark Hayes; and has had various roles in: Traveling Light by Lawrence Enscoe; ARock and a Hard Place by Lee Eric Shackleford and Robert Montgomery; and The Sheeple Incidents by Gail Blanton.

Due to requests at various art functions, GNBAA will offer two new classes, each beginning the week of July 23rd, 2007. The first class"Improving Your Digital Photography", taught by local photographer, Michael Loftis will be four sessions, beginning on Wednesday, July 25th. Michael can handle up to eight students who would like to improve their digital photo skills with lessons on: exposure control, light sources, composition and subject matter, and info on the photo industry. To enroll in this class, e-mail Michael at: info@gnbaa.org.

The second class "Impressionist Painting in Acrylics", taught by Connie Jones, will be four sessions beginning on Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Using the palette colors of the impressionists and studying their then "revolutionary" paintings, will be the basis of the class. Open to beginners through experienced painters, each session will focus being an "impressionist", not just an amateur painter. E-mail Connie at:info@gnbaa.org, to participate.

Each class session will be 4 - 5 weeks long. The two teachers are looking for 8-10 students per class, but If there is more demand for a class, they will try and schedule a second session of that class. Each class is $15.00 for the 2-hour class, or all four for $50.00. Students are encouraged to sign up for entire class session. Most classes will be held in the group's Arts Shack location, the building just north of the intersection of Hwy. 87 and East Bay Blvd./399. GNBAA encourages the Navarre community to support these classes, plus visit the website: www.gnbaa.org for information on the Fall Festival of the Arts.
