Lake Arrowhead impressionist will demonstrate

ART LEAGUE

The demonstrator for the Art League meeting on Nov. 14 will be Helga Batman, an award-winning artist who lives in Lake Arrowhead, California.

She studied oil painting in an impressionistic manor and has studied under some very famous artists including Joseph Mendez, Ken Auster, Michelle Situ and others. She majored in art at Cypress College and California State University, Long Beach. Besides oil, she also paints in acrylics and watercolor. For 10 years, she has been teaching oil and watercolor painting during the summer at a UCLA Conference Center connected with UCLA.

Batman was born and raised in Lorrach, Germany, where she became a painter as a child. Her parents gave her a box of watercolors and crayons when she was 5 years old. She got her degree at the university of Mainz in Germany. In 1959, she and her parents moved to the United States.

Batman has given many demonstrations throughout Southern California and has been involved with the Laguna Art Festival. She is very active in the Lake Arrowhead Art Leauge and has much of her art in a gallery in that area.

The club is excited to have her as a demonstrator. She will paint a picture for the group. The picture will be donated to the club’s raffle.

Those entering the show should have their art hung by 6:30 p.m. The popular vote theme this month is “fall.”
