About Marg Long
In the beginning the “idea” was to have a proper show place
for art. Art clubs and organizations were having a hard time finding
a venue for shows. In the beginning Marj Long, who was the president
of WASH, called the people from many art clubs together. They all met
in 1985. They found the La Sierra Community Center. In December 1985
in the cold they worked long and hard cleaning and painting the Center.
In 1986 it opened. Marj Long was the first president. She was a volunteer,
artist, and employee until she could no longer work. Marj passed away
in April 2008. She was here for us in the beginning. She set the example
Now it is our turn.

Ms. Eymann states,"As an artist, when I view a painting I look
for something that holds my interest. There is nothing worse than a
boring painting. Some interesting elements could be a surprise color,
texture, value play or composition. One should try to get as many surprise
elements in a painting as possible. The artist should have something
to say and be able to get that message across to the viewer."
