INFORMATIONAL NOTES
Rebby Sharp
Summit Square Art Gallery
February - March 2014
In February and March the art gallery at Summit Square will feature the very colorful
abstract designs of Rebby Sharp. These images feature dynamic colored shapes outlined
in strong black, giving them an active sense of movement. Rebby Sharp is a recent
Waynesboro resident who has lived in Virginia all her life, aside from several months
overseas. She is self-employed as a private music teacher and has enjoyed making art as
well as playing music.
In Rebby’s own words: “Making these drawings has been like creating puzzles to solve.
By making fairly ambiguous line drawings, the way areas are filled with color determines the subject and overall mood. They are slightly unspecific so that the viewer is involved with creating their meaning”.
Ms. Sharp was very active in the late 1970’s through the early 1990’s in the art and music communities of Richmond, specifically the Richmond Artists’ Workshop (RAW). She
is now a member of the Shenandoah Valley Art Center and has been enjoying the various
community activities the area has to offer.
Be sure to stop by the Art Gallery, before the end of March, to see the work of this
very talented artist! Don’t forget to sign the Guestbook as the pages will be given to
the artist at the end of the exhibit!
The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia begin on
Friday, February 7th and run though Sunday, February
23rd. Be on the lookout for popup events throughout the
games!

Valentine’s Day Scripture:
Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with
all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
Matthew 22:37–39
When Jesus was asked about the greatest commandment he responded with the
words above. Each of the Ten Commandments can easily be followed if you
follow Jesus’ teachings. 1) Love God first 2) Love your neighbor as yourself.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, let us focus on the unconditional love God has
for each of us. When accepting this love from God, we are compelled to share
His love with others. Happy Valentine’s Day!
Our new Bible Study continues on women of the Old Testament. We have
looked at Eve, “The Ultimate First Lady,” and Cain’s wife whom our author
labels “a women who married trouble.” Join me in the First Floor Conference
Room at 10:30 a.m. every Tuesday in February as we study more interesting
women that have played a crucial role in the story of our faith.
Blessings,
Jenny Lucas – Life Enrichment Director
