It is with great sadness that I report the passing of long time Vanguard artist, Norma Cox Miller. We will miss her wonderful contemporary art, but more importantly we will miss having her within our art community.
Norma was a true southern lady, with a gentle spirit and kind soul. For those of us who pray, we thank God for her presence in our lives and are thankful her passing was a gentle one.
We wish her husband, Glen, the very best and send healing thoughts his way.
Vanguard Artists, founded in 1977, is a premier group of professional artists who meet at 1:00pm on the first Friday of the Month (except summers) at the Sun City West Foundation in Sun City West, Arizona. Its major focus is to provide a forum for the critiquing of art work produced by each artist. This analysis of painting results in generating better quality work. Vanguard Artists, with its quest for excellence, enriches the community through networking, education and ultimately, finer art.

Kristi Herring and Mary Lou Harvey are currently displaying their lovely and fun paintings at Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Sun City West, at the northeast corner of Meeker and R.H. Johnson. Do stop by and have a look.
Kristi reports that they were present during last Sunday's after-services social hours and enjoyed very much visiting with the congregation members.
