Magdalena Scholle earned many ribbons from the 2025 NC State Fair in mid-October!

She also won 2nd place in that division with her Holiday Decoration oil painting, and Bees & Honey painting.
Heidi-Lee Peach invites everyone to her two-person show at the Clayton Center (111 E Second St, Clayton) where two dozen of her oils, acrylics, and watercolors are on exhibit through Thanksgiving. In more exciting news, she was awarded an artist residency in Bald Head Island for the month of January 2026.
