Laura Stuart will be the guest artist at the Cranberry Artists Network’s meeting Dec. 5.

Stuart will speak about how she has taken her art and designs and moved into selling, branding and merchandising her work. She is a mixed media artist originally from Volant, now living in Pittsburgh where she works as a team leader for Blind & Vision Rehabilitation Services of Pittsburgh.

Stuart studied visual communications at both the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and Westminster College, where she received a bachelor’s degree in visual arts communications. She went on to attend Carlow University for an art education certification. Stuart has taught art for a number of years within the school setting and within a variety of therapeutic environments.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at the Cranberry Township Municipal Center, 2525 Rochester Road, and is open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
