Sandy Stevenson, the featured artist this month, enjoyed music by the Mad Beggars Band and dinner with her husband. Her artwork can be seen throughout the month of November at location #21 on the 2nd Saturday map.

This award-winning artist paints the sea, coastlines and deserts she encounters in her travels. Her work has been described as luminous, with compelling light and mystery. Stevenson has studied with a number of internationally known artists and has created art in Mexico, Southeast Asia and China.
