General Meeting
November 6, 2018
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Join us at the PSNWA Gallery & Studio in Bentonville on Nov. 6 for our monthly general meeting featuring guest speaker and PSNWA member Jane Goble, who will discuss her stunning work photographing professional bull riding.
Jane, a Rogers native, began her photographic journey just four years ago. She gets her greatest pleasure from photographing wildlife, saying it’s satisfying to know she has captured a moment in nature that only she has. She recently began trying out her new mirrorless camera on a very unique subject — professional bull riding. Her photos were so outstanding, they got the attention of a leading industry magazine, which began hiring her to photograph their events. Most recently, she took a scenic, photographic journey to the Canadian Rockies.
Jane and her husband Keith have two grown children and four grandchildren. She hopes to continue to enrich her life through travel and adventure.
Due to public locations being used for Election Day activities, the meeting will take place at the studio in Bentonville on Northwest 2nd Street just off the Bentonville Square.

Vicky Sparkman explores deep emotion through intricate narratives existing in realms brought forth from the artist’s mind. Her artistic process was developed while studying photography and graphic design under the direction of Victor Chalfant.
Vicky’s work expresses profound emotion, whether beautiful and bright or dark and sinister. Her art represents intuitive expression of thought and desire, which cannot be portrayed by words alone.
Uncertainty? Love? Fear? Comfort? Vicky Sparkman hopes you will experience emotional connections to her art that will lead you on an individual journey of self-reflection and wonderment.
Please join us for a presentation of her work at 7pm, September 4th at Whole Hog Café in Fayetteville, AR.
