Share-A-Meal Art Show

Winchester Country Club is pleased to announce an upcoming Art Show on November 22, 2024, from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM, with proceeds benefiting the club’s community initiative, Share-A-Meal. Organized by Karen Fraizer, a WCC member and Share-A-Meal volunteer, this event is an opportunity to support local artists while contributing to a meaningful cause.

The show will feature an array of carefully selected artworks from regional artists, displayed throughout the club. Guests are invited to enjoy hors d’oeuvres and take advantage of a cash bar while exploring the exhibits. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet the artists during the opening night reception.

30% of all art sales will be donated to the Share-A-Meal program, an initiative launched by former Winchester Country Club Board President Gerry Caffrey in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally created to provide meals to local nonprofits during challenging times, the program continues to serve the community on a monthly basis. It is proudly run and operated by Winchester Country Club members, benefiting organizations such as the Winchester Rescue Mission, The Salvation Army, and Kids Club of the Northern Shenandoah Valley, among others.

Art purchases can be made online, offering a convenient way for guests to support both the artists and Share-A-Meal. Sales will continue online through Christmas.

Attendance is free, but space is limited. RSVP is required, and only 150 tickets are available for the event.

Adelaide Turnbull

Painting has been a passion of mine since I was a child. I majored in art at JMU and I earned a Masters in Art Therapy. I am currently focusing on abstract oil painting and moving away from representational art. I find great joy in the painting process and hope that the element of that is captured on the canvas and apparent to the viewer.

I have been painting in oils for decades and have found beauty in landscapes, however I have branched out into still- lifes as well as doing commissions for favorite vacations, wedding memories and painting to fit a particular space.

I grew up in New England.  My inspiration comes from my mother as a watercolor artist and my brother as a professional photographer.  My greatest love is taking photographs of nature.

I was trained as a dancer for most of my life however, because of an injury I found myself following in the footsteps of my family who are all accomplished artists. I try to do something creative every day.

Kathy Christopherson Dansie

My work is an ongoing exploration of color and form through abstraction, acting as a visual journal of my artistic process. Using mixed media—acrylic paint, collage, and oil pastel—I create layers that emphasize dynamic color, depth, and texture. My intuitive approach involves bold colors, spontaneous brushstrokes, and a balance between strength and subtlety. Influenced by artists like Richard Diebenkorn and Henri Matisse, I aim to evoke emotion through my work. With nearly three decades of experience, I’ve studied and exhibited in various locations, and my work is held in private collections and at Piedmont Virginia Community College.
