Trish Land, Atlanta-based artist is painting roses for City of Thomasville in celebration of the 100th Rose Show.
"I found paint. It’s always fluid. It’s always moving. It has the essence of dreaming and dancing…and the mysterious journey is the story I like to tell…always allowing the viewer to have their own experience with my work. Nature is my greatest teacher… all I have to do is pay attention. I grew up in South Georgia… walking in the woods, collecting sticks and branches, making things from them, realizing that all I really needed was air and light and my imagination."
"I’m fascinated by stories we are able to tell with paint. How using ink can be so powerful. Marrying acrylic with the ink has been an extraordinary relationship that has blown me away. In my world…they were meant to be together. And I’m grateful I found mediums that inspire me so much."

We had another great meeting and program last week. During club concerns, we were informed by Homer Pankey that John Archer had a fall on 30 November. It required a visit to the hospital where John received medical attention but did not have to be admitted. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
We had sixty-one in attendance at Thursday’s meeting, twenty online and forty-one at the Plaza.
John Comita did his classification talk and we learned a lot about him, his family, and his career. John comes to us by way of Massachusetts but says he knew Thomasville would one day be his home. Thank you, John, for your adventurous and entertaining talk.
Dr. Frederick Johnson was the program, and he specializes in interventional radiology. Dr. Johnson has been a part of our community for about one year. As a member of the Archbold family of physicians, his focus is Liver Cancer and the new method of treating it. Dr. Johnson uses the Y90 treatment method. Y90 Treatment is a minimally invasive, targeted therapy for cancer in the liver. It is a relatively new, safe, and highly successful treatment for cancer in the liver. Y90 targets tumors with a high dose of radiation without affecting other healthy parts of the body. The treatment does not cure liver tumors, but it often controls or shrinks them. It has been shown to prolong lives for months or years and to greatly improve the quality of life of the patients. Patients experience few, if any, side effects from Y90 treatment, which is performed in an outpatient setting. Patients generally resume normal activities within one or two weeks.
