PSNWA will celebrate the Holidays with our Annual Pot Luck Dinner at the PSNWA Gallery & Studios. PSNWA will supply chicken from AQ for the dinner. Members are asked to bring a side dish or dessert.

This year’s potluck will include a special canned food drive to benefit a local food bank that needs its shelves restocked. We are asking everyone attending to please bring a canned or non-perishable item to benefit the charity. (Please make sure the food isn’t expired or close to expiration.) PSNWA will match contributions up to 100 cans of food.

A lifetime of creative work, both personally and professionally, led her to the world of digital art and photography. As is the case with many artists, the path was not typical.
