WILTON — A work of watercolor art by Wilton artist Barbara Hathaway was used on the General Federation of Women’s Club Maine fall meeting program booklet, the Pine Tree Notes September and October 2014 issue, and on stationery, the club directory and business cards used by GFWC Maine President Marjorie Goodwin of Clinton.
Hathaway was asked to provide art that would go with Goodwin’s theme of “Our Past Will Determine Our Future,” and be compatible with the President’s Project on elder abuse awareness. The art depicts three women, in a variety of ages, posed together, two standing and one seated, connected by the hands of supporting friendship on the shoulders of the next member.
The art will be used for publicity and fund raising.
At the fall GFWC Maine meeting, Hathaway explained the art was inspired by a photo of Hathaway and her sisters, Lillian Schanck Guppy of Wilton and Thelma Schanck Lemieux of New Sharon taken at a family reunion.
Lemieux has since passed away.
Hathaway said the art is a tribute to these caring women and to the fact that the past does determine our future and affects the next generation.
