Message from the PSNC President

As we Spring forward through the year, I assess what we’ve done to help you grow in your pastel competency, and in your goals. “Some people” Luana Winner remarked recently “are not trying to sell, they are trying to get better.” Ah! Art for art’s sake. To me that’s delicious. It’s PSNC’s mission to respond to this dream. Our goal is to promote pastels and the study of pastels. The first thing is to love the materials – the sight and smell of them, the colors the values, the serendipity of simultaneous contrasting color! We long to be a part of something called “art” that for thousands of years has inspired the least among us to be the best they can be, to participate, to belong, to be the best each person can be in their own heart. What else is life for?

May 14 – Zoom demo with Janet Burgess

The vivacious and indomitable Janet Burgess will present the next episode in our Empowerment Series.  Ms Burgess has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Western Carolina University. She graduated Cum Laude with a double major in Art and Spanish. She also earned a Master of Arts degree from Columbia University in New York City with a major in painting and drawing. Her life has been – and is – focused on creativity. An award-winning artist, she has demonstrated her ability to utilize the creativity within herself. Ms Burgess will speak from the point of view that one’s life is best fulfilled if everything we do is characterized by originality of thought and execution.
