November CMBA Program: Printing Solutions for Every Company

Chris Cunningham, Manager of Document Services for CTX-Xerox, will be the featured speaker at the November 14 meeting of the Cedar Mill Business Association. She says, “Most companies recognize the importance of cost-effective and efficient document management—industry analysts report that as much as three percent of annual revenues are spent on document production. However, the expertise and time it takes to achieve those objectives can be difficult to realize. CTX can show you what you don’t know about your own input, throughput, and output through workflow optimization.” Learn about affordable business solutions that level the playing field for every size company. For a preveiw, visit their website, www.ctx-xerox.com. [The Cedar Mill News is printed on a high-speed color copier with a finishing attachment at CTX.]

Non-members are welcome to attend a couple of meetings for free. Visit cedarmillbiz.com for more information. There’s free pizza, coffee and tea, or bring your own beverage if you choose.

Village Gallery News

Little Lucky Blue, by Nancy Cuevas

The Village Gallery’s featured artist for November is painter Nancy Cuevas. As a child, Cuevas created art by copying the artwork on the back of her dad’s Reader’s Digests. Her favorite media are oil, pastel, and charcoal, and her paintings range from larger than life-size to small scale. Her subjects include figures, portraits, still life and animals. She says, “Setting out the paints, mixing color, and figuring out exactly what I am seeing is very meditative. My work takes on a life of it’s own.

My subjects become very familiar to me as I deconstruct their physical forms and rebuild them again on two-dimensional canvas. There is something joyful in creating a set of moments...my moments.” Cuevas started teaching about five years ago. Her work can be seen at http://www.nancycuevas.com. For more info on her classes, please visit www.cuevasartstudio.com.

Learn to create custom marbled papers from artist Danny Rodriguez at his workshop on Saturday, November 3, 10-3 at the gallery.
