Art Exhibit
This exhibit is composed of original artwork from the watercolor classes at the Pasadena Senior Center. The ages of the artists range from 55 to 95 and the skill level ranges from beginner to advanced level. Many of the paintings are inspired from lessons in the class and all are original work. Some of the paintings are for sale with a portion of the proceeds dedicated to the Pasadena Senior Center. If you are interested in buying a painting then you will email me (
During the pandemic we have been conducting zoom classes. It has been important to us to maintain communication with each other as we have become an art family and need to support each other.
We've added computer skills to our painting skills with the computer being the more challenging at times. As the teacher, I have noticed the courage it has taken for many of the students to stay motivated and keep painting. These are very special and talented artists and I am very proud of the work presented in this exhibit. There is a special category for the pandemic inspired paintings which we hope you enjoy--some describe the situation and some bring hopeful messages.
Since we cannot hold an in-house reception this year we would love to hear comments from the public. Let us know what you think about the exhibit--it will boost the spirit of the students.
