Carol Waite

Carol Waite developed an interest in art during private lessons as a young woman.  She majored in Fine Arts at the George Washington University and studied painting and drawing at the Corcoran Gallery.  At the Corcoran she worked mostly in oils and pastels, as well as ink and pencil, and enjoyed painting figures and portraits.

Originally from California, Ms. Waite was raised in post-war Japan.  Her parents were long-time residents there; her mother born there in 1905 to US missionaries.  Her father worked as an oil industry executive arriving in 1928.  After returning several years ago from a trip to Japan, Ms. Waite studied Sumi-e at the Torpedo Factory in Old Town Alexandria, VA., winning plaudits at an Art League show there.

Sumi-e paintings by Ms. Waite have been shown in a one-person show at the Ramp Gallery in McLean, Virginia and are on display at several restaurants in Arlington and Fredericksburg.  She is a member of the Brush Strokes Gallery in Fredericksburg.  Her paintings have been accepted by the National Sumi-e Society. at four juried shows.

Songwriter's Showcase tomorrow night, 9/26/2008

The Fredericksburg Songwriters' Showcase returns September 26 at 8 p.m., featuring Jamie Anderson, Tony Denikos, Steve Chizmadia, and Laura Shepherd in the Picker's Supply Concert Hall, above 902 Caroline Street, Fredericksburg,VA (enter through the alley round back).  Lisa Taylor will do a cameo appearance (she'll be back as a feature in January).  Admission is $10 ($5 kids and students). Information on the performers follows this message.

This is another outstanding show that you won't want to miss.  Steve Chizmadia has a song "It's Always Texas" that has been going through my head off and on since I first heard it a year ago.  Tony Denikos is Buddy's (our sound man) favorite performer among all who have ever appeared at the showcase.   Jamie Anderson's is known for her songwriting and the surprises in her songs.  And, almost everyone loves Laura Shepherd's performances.  It will be a great night.  (Set your VCR so you won't miss the debate.)
