HOOT
Spotlights... Kathy Fellows
2010
Convention Chair
Kathy
has been painting for 36 years and has been a HOOT member
for the past 12 years. She has co-chaired the Memory Box program and
chaired
the website for the chapter. Her contribution to the HOOT
convention in the past has been data entry chair (entering all of the
names who either ask for a catalog or register for convention as well
as entering all classes, educators and exhibitors), and treasurer
(counting all of the money that is involved with convention). She
is now the Convention Chair.
Kathy
was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, and has earned her BS/BA
in Computer Sciences/Business Administration from the Ohio State
University.
Before
retiring 2 years ago, Kathy traveled extensively around the
United States including two years of her career in Hong Kong working on
mainframe conversions for IBM computers. She is no stranger
to hard work and possesses many skills needed for our Convention Chair.
Kathy
is a certified Donna Dewberry instructor for the "One Stroke"
painting technique. Her favorite styles and mediums are
strokework and rosemalling in acrylics, and painting animals in
oils. She has entered many craft shows with her art work.
Due
to the requirements of her profession and now the demands of the
HOOT convention, she just paints for pleasure, but is hopeful that she
will be able to enter craft shows again in the future. One of
her favorite pastimes is working with her eight year old granddaughter
one
day a week in beginning painting and crafts. Way to go
Kathy! Keep up the interest and enjoyment for decorative
painting!
Kathy
wants to let everyone know how good she feels about this
convention. She is truly amazed at the support and enthusiasm
she is receiving from the convention committee, the HOOT board, the
members, and the public. It is really encouraging for her, as
Convention Chair, to work with this optimism so early in the planning
stages for
the 2010 HOOT Convention.
