Creative And Colorful Christmas Brunch Planned By Ann Mead Ash
About a year ago, Dona Fisher, founder of Friendship Foundation and the Change of Pace Bible studies, received a Christmas card from a neighbor that featured a painting by Liz Hess. The painting captivated Fisher. “The painting ... is of all the world bowing down to the Christ child,” said Fisher, who went on to share that the card depicts people representing countries from all over the world who are dressed in the colorful clothing of their native land. The card inspired Fisher to ask Hess if she would tell her story at an event. “(The painting was) what really stirred me to ask her,” recalled Fisher. “I was moved by that, and I picked up the phone and called her shop.”
Hess agreed to be a speaker at the event that Fisher calls “A Creative and Colorful Christmas Brunch.” The meal for women, which will be held on Saturday, Dec. 7, from 10 a.m. to noon in the Eden Resort Courtyard, 222 Eden Road, Lancaster, will feature a buffet meal and cookies shaped like red umbrellas to honor Hess’ use of the colorful parasol in her paintings. Hess is a well-known, awardwinning Lancaster artist who began life in Honduras, Central America, as the child of missionary parents. She grew up in Lancaster, and she later became a missionary herself, serving in Lapland, Finland. Hess now has a shop in Lancaster’s Gallery Row. She travels abroad yearly to paint on location.
