Wondering Whether to Join GVA?
I joined GVA to take advantage of an opportunity to work with other artists. I had been taking classes with Dana Ziebarth in pastel. She thought all her students should join. I was amazed and intimidated with the talented artists that were members. There reputations preceded them. I had admired Kathleen Kalinowski’s pastel paintings in galleries years before she became my teacher, mentor and friend. I had known of Kathleen Bechtel's oil paintings long before I came to know her as the director of The Franciscan Center. She aided my artistic spirit more than she could know.
