Residents at Cantabria/Asturias in Panorama City, CA, got very excited about the WSH Holiday Card Contest (WSH Management manages a number of EngAGE communities). In past years, Fred had won, so the other art students were a little intimidated, but Art Instructor Polet Zargarian encouraged everyone to participate and compete, and lo and behold, Martha H. won!
Here is Martha proudly holding up an earlier example of her artwork at the Halloween party this year. She kept telling Elizabeth Sampson that she had never done art before studying with Polet a year ago. Wow! She has improved by leaps and bounds in just one year!
And here is Martha’s winning card!
Polet didn’t want the other art students to feel left out, so she made copies of their beautiful work from throughout the year and created cards that she gave to them at a small Holiday Tea Party she threw.

Here is the holiday tree at Metro Hollywood decorated with her cards!
