Artisans Guild
Overview
The SV Artisans Guild Committee promotes the artistic talents of our community members by conducting periodic art shows in the Clubhouse’s Concert Hall. All forms of art can be displayed in the shows and can be offered for sale at the choice of each individual artist. In order to participate in an art show, each artist must complete and sign an “Art Release and Waiver of Liability form” In addition, a “Artisans Guild Show Submission Form” form must be completed for each show.
All artwork needs to remain displayed for the length of the show in which it is entered.

Featured Artist Kateri Coombe
I moved to Symphony Village in 2021 and shortly thereafter I retired from my job working as a paralegal for a law firm in Annapolis. My husband, Gary and I have been married for 48 years, we have two children and eight grandchildren spanning from age 6 to 21.
Art has always interested me, so when I learned about the Artisan Guild, I knew I wanted to join. I began with acrylics, inspired by my daughter, an artist who works in that medium. But I discovered my preferred medium when I picked up a pencil and took a drawing class with Anne Sharp. Her advice transformed my approach: “Draw what you see and what you don't see will appear.” For me, drawing is about contours and the interplay of light, dark, and deeper shadows. My black-and-white style reflects my personality. I create art I enjoy looking at and would hang in my own home: realistic images that convey movement and still images with meaning. I also appreciate a touch of tongue-in-cheek humor and images that draw me in and make me think. Recently, I’ve explored charcoal and begun adding a little color, though black and white remains my preference.
