She earned her BFA from University of Colorado, her MA in Art Therapy from Loyola Marymount LA, and a certificate from Milan Art Institute. Arella says, “My figures tell stories about peaceful contemplation and sometimes joyful restoration, found in a return to nature. And the maps suggest a special place or type of landscape that is part of the story.” July President’s Message We held the June 11th Annual Membership Meeting at our old home, the Blinn House, and we are pleased to announce that we will be hosting our meetings and new member screenings there. I am excited to take on the role of Interim Acting President and I am working with the Board and our volunteers over the summer to re-energize Pasadena Society of Artists as we come out of the pandemic. You can look forward to seeing our new PSA logo design and our redesigned newsletter soon. We will be publishing art related opportunities and events: paint/sculpt/photography events, reintroducing a Call for Artists section in the Newsletter, art swap events, and more. And we introduced a new raffle MINI-GRANT for members at each member meeting - a $100 cash award to be used for art-related enrichment (art supplies, workshops, etc.).   The winners will return within 3 months to tell us how the funds helped to enhance their creative process.  The winner at the June meeting was Chris Moore – Congratulations Chris! Our next Mini-Grant will be raffled off at the September Member Meeting. The Summer Party will be on August 13th at Rhonda Raulston’s home in Altadena. Mark your calendar. Details soon. Vic Picou will continue to coordinate the monthly Salons.  If you are interested in hosting a Salon, please contact Vic at vicpicou@icloud.com We welcome your suggestions and your helping hands. NEXT MEETING: There is no member meeting in July, but we will hold a Board Meeting at the Blinn House on August 13th from 10:00 – Noon.  Members are welcome to attend.  I want to thank all of you so very much for hanging in there with your PSA Board.  I’m looking forward to seeing each and every one of you at a future event.  I am always available at kds4psabiz@gmail.com Kathleen to some, Kathy to others!
