A Talented Gift To Camp Whitman: Take It Home!


A Talented Gift To Camp Whitman



A Local Artist Takes Interest In Camp Whitman
At our last Presbytery Meeting in May, John Domm presented an amazing Camp Whitman watercolor painting by artist, Chip (Roland) Stevens. We have this amazing donation in our Presbytery office of Camp Whitman’s boathouse! The Presbytery has been given full rights to use this watercolor in  ways we see fit. One way it has already been used is we have new postcards available for campers and their parents to use that are the image of the watercolor available at camp. We also have those for sale in our presbytery office! It has been a great addition to our Camp image! We are so grateful to Mr. Stevens for this gift!
A Bit More About Chip:
Chip was born in Chicago October 23, 1940. He grew up loving to draw and in fact was featured in a one person art show when in the first grade. He became an architect and continued to hone is artistic talents doing renderings for architectural clients. Upon retirement, he began concentrating on his watercolors. He has studied with Jossie Bilan, Fred Graff and Judi Betts. Chip is a member of the National Watercolor Society. He is also a sought after instructor.
Our Presbytery Connection:
The connection between Our Presbytery and Chip is through John Domm. Chip does not work with digital technology so he has asked John to do some of his digital work and John loves working with him. Chip offered to do some paintings for John and he suggested the Camp Whitman Boathouse Project. Chip and his wife Georgia are residents of Pultneyville on Lake Ontario and members of the First Presbyterian Church of Ontario Center.
