FEATURED ARTIST'S
Margaret Williams-McGowan

Diane Grguras
The Pittsburgh Pastel Artists League is a new kind of group both in longevity and guidelines.  

We do not screen work for membership and so far have not had a screened or juried
exhibit.
We experience a warmth and caring about each other in our group  that is sometimes
lost when competition exists.
We believe in supporting the medium of pastel and pastel painters.  The public doesn't
understand the purity and stability of pastels.
We share ideas and news about new materials via E-letters.  E-letters are our main
source of communication.
We having 3  scheduled paintouts this summer

She has been featured in art magazines for winning awards;
