When I moved here in September 2010, I never dreamed I would become a 2-D soft pastel artist. Or a 2-D artist of any kind! I visited “the club” to find put if they recognized basketry as an art form. Because that’s what I was, a Basket weaver! I was given an unequivocal “Yes”.

The club offered all kinds of classes and I decided to do all of them. When I took a charcoal class, I found that I had permission and loved getting “dirty”! A fellow member then guided me toward pastels …. And the rest is history….

That is what the club does so well….teaches, guides, encourages, and supports creativity in the arts.
