Melissa Murphy, a.k.a. LaMissa, is on the board of North Cobb Arts League. It appears that she helped get everyone together, with the help of Anthony, for the art festival. A lot of the people that were out there are members of the NCAL.

Melissa enjoys painting flowers. From the natural to the abstract, she uses a variety of colors to express herself. She doesn’t do just flowers, but from the work that she was displaying at the festival, she surely enjoys them.

Melissa also had her booth setup so kids could paint as well. She was selling basic art kits for kids. It was a great way to reach out and get the children involved.

James Durachta makes art from porcelain. At the art festival, James displayed some of the butterflies that he had made, both large and small. He also had some roses that looked like they took hours to make. He also combined the two pieces as well.

A lot of them were shinny, but I liked the ones with out all of the shimmer. They had a simplicity to them, yet they were complex at the same time. James as also kind enough to give Sydney a butterfly of her choosing. Sydney let him pick a painting as well. Below are some images of Jame’s work.
