“Tis the Season to be Jolly”


Contributed by Suzanne Bach Edwards

What fits your busy schedule best, (1) having a relaxing conversation with friends over a drink, (2) shopping for gifts for those you love, or (3) expanding your horizons by seeing a local artist’s colorful paintings? Well you can do all three at the Bearpaw River Brewing Company on Palmer Wasilla Hwy next to All About Herbs.

The hours are Sunday-Wednesday 3p-8p and Thursday-Saturday 12p-8p. Artist Suzanne Bach Edwards will be there on Friday Dec 6 from 3p-5p to meet and greet at her show “Tis the Season to be Jolly,” which will show from Dec 1 until Dec 31.

To add some brightness to the Holiday season, some folks, like Suzanne, do this by expressing their creativity and sharing with others. Formerly the Fine Arts Coordinator at Mat-Su College of UAA, she now enjoys traveling but still finds time for artwork. She is active in the Alaska Watercolor Society and former president, active with the Valley Fine Arts Association and loves taking workshops and exploring her horizons, often with her husband Jerry, who is a budding watercolor artist, as well.

The motivation behind this show is to introduce the viewer to some realistic and some abstract colorful art pieces to lift their spirits. As the peanut butter sandwich said to the grape, “Tis the season to be jelly. ” Stop in and have a brew and enjoy the show, and if one of the paintings ends up in your stocking, then you can do like Jack Frost did when he was in school, “Snow and Tell”.
