Designing Women's Salon Series lecture with Frank Hopper

Designing Women held their monthly Salon Series event Thursday, Sept. 29, at the Designing Women Boutique. This month’s guest speaker was Frank Hopper, local artist and painter.

Hopper has been painting all his life and received his first commission at age 11 for a drawing he did of his family’s Aberdeen Angus cow, Bill. The drawing depicted Bill in a barber’s chair getting primped for a show. The picture appeared on the cover of International Cattle Breeding magazine in 1935 and he was paid $35 for the drawing.

Women who attended to hear Hopper speak also enjoyed a boxed lunch followed by a fashion show of some of the clothes in stock at the boutique.
