Meet Terrie Ahneman...A Hollingsworth House Chair-ity Event Artist

Terrie Ahneman is one of the 3rd Annual Hollingsworth House Chair-ity Event artists. She painted a beautiful chair with flowers and birds. This chair would be a great addition to any home.

Terrie’s number one source of relaxation is painting, which she loves because she can express her vision as she wishes. Pastels, oils, then on to water colors and acrylic, Terrie works with pastels, oils, water colors, and acrylic, and she enjoys mixing mediums sometime in the same painting. A sketchpad and pencils are always in her bag.

At Marymount College in the Hudson Valley, New York, she took part in a grant which developed the use of art as a therapy. The program was very successful and resulted in programs for the elderly as well as the young. Terrie studied with George Sutherland, a prominent Watercolorist from New England and was very active with the Greenwich Art Society. In addition to gallery shows, she has been involved in the design of greeting cards and wearing apparel.

Come out to the Hollingsworth House Chair-ity Event on November 30 from 5:00-7:30pm to view and bid on Vicki’s magnolia chair as well as chairs and works of art created and painted by other local artists. Tickets are $25 and maybe purchased at the door or in advance by calling 770-703-2636. The Chair-ity Event is an annual affair hosted by local business leaders including Congressman and Mrs. Lynn A. Westmoreland. All proceeds will help the children who live at Christian City have a wonderful Christmas.
