Recently returning, fellow member, Iby Siemens, has been a porcelain painter for many years. She says, "It is such a great art, especially as they make such wonderful presents, which can be personalized with initials. Last spring, as a volunteer, I taught porcelain painting to some seniors at Manoir Westmount (I am a Rotary member.). They were delighted, realizing that their creations would become heirlooms." Recently Iby has started with acrylics on canvas. A painting that she did entitled "Iby Siemens: Painting 2009" was at the 2009 WASM Art Show at Ogilvy’s Tudor Hall.
