Join the Visual Art League of Lewisville for its monthly general meeting at Lewisville Grand Theater. Each month in conjunction with the general meeting, VAL produces an “Art Talk” series of known speakers and art demonstrations.

Art Talk Highlights:
- Learn the benefits of using Ampersand panels in creating a dimensional surface.
- Watch as Darla transforms a flat surface into a 3D surface.
- Apply techniques including collage, sculpting, watercolor, and mixed media
“Art is Life!” Darla Bostick's images show the world as she sees it. She is a resident of Denton with a BFA from Texas Tech University. For 50+ years she has been involved in the arts as an artist, educator and photographer.
Her love of travel has inspired paintings in watercolor and mixed media. She has visited 85 countries and uses her camera to capture colors, architecture, unique landscapes and people’s daily lives. Her work is recognized by her use of pure colors. Paint is allowed to blend while on the paper to provide vivid images with clean colors.
Darla has taught art workshops in several states as well as presenting an Annual Art Adventure Abroad: Ireland, Spain, Denmark, Germany, Portugal, Italy and France. She recently published, Making an Art Journal…as You Travel, How-To Ideas with Darla Bostick.
