Many of us know Lydia as the Secretary of theWeinland Park
Community Civic Association for thepast two years. Did you know,
though, about herlove of creating art? She is a founding member
ofthe WP Red Circleart group and will have workfeatured in the
upcoming Weinland ParkCalendar , which will be distributed at
theFestival (see more below).
Lydia doesnt have much art work around thehouse. She loves to
give it away as much as sheloves making it! One exception is a
painting(shown in the picture) using a marbling techniqueshe
learned while visiting relatives in Turkey.Besides exploring new
mediums, she mostlyenjoys drawing and watercolor.
While growing up, her mother turned everydayactivities into
artistic endeavors and alwaysappreciated the beauty in common
things, including gardening and cooking. That is a philosophyLydia
would like to pass on to the children sheteaches. God gifted me in
working with kids andcreating art, and I love integrating them.
Early this year, Lydias family expanded. With he
husband Jason, she welcomed baby Annelise intothe world. Now it
is even easier to interact withthe neighborsbabies smile and
attract converstion. Jason and I are very happy with our decisioto
move to Weinland Park. There is so muchpotential, I love working
with the children andparents in the Red Circles project the
most.
