This member artist exhibit contained many lovely watercolors and other media pieces of Doris' that had never been shown. Friends and patrons signed the guest book and entered memories of time spent with this special lady and fine artist. |

Doris, at the creative age of 90 (almost 91) was still faithful to attend

 Doris' grand daughter, and family representative Katrina Roccos, came from New York to attend the June Reception and meet the Gallery members. Everyone enjoyed meeting her, sharing stories and signing the memory book that Christina took to Doris' family in New York. In her memory, photos of Doris and many pieces of her fine art will remain on display in the Gallery. Most will be available for purchase. |
