I grew up in Sundsvall in northern Sweden and moved to Stockholm in 1970
where I attended the National College of Art, Craft and Design (Konstfack) and
received my MFA in 1976. Though specialize in tapestry, I have also worked
as a muralist and a graphics illustrator.
Since 1977 I have worked in the United States, producing tapestries
for public and private collections, and commissioned works for hospitals, banks and for the
headquarters of the Bonneville Power Administration in Portland, Oregon. I was commissioned by
the Washington State Arts Commission (WSAC)
to create major pieces for the new Washington
State University campus in Vancouver, and for
Grays Harbor College in Aberdeen, Washington.
In 2010 I finished a commissioned piece for
WSAC for Moxee Elementary School near Yakima, Washington, and in 2012 installed a tapestry, also commissioned by WSAC, for McMicken
Heights Elementary School in Seatac, Washington.
My tapestries have appeared in numerous national and international exhibitions and my work is represented in Contemporary Textile Art
- Scandinavia, The State of the Arts, The State of the Crafts, Fiberarts Design Book I, IV , V and
VI, World Tapestry Today, and a number of magazines. I spent two years in Scotland, working
on a project recreating the Hunt of the Unicorn tapestries.
I live with my husband in Gig Harbor, Washington.

July President's Message:
What a great turn out for our June meeting. We had a great group of returning members who have been
away and new members enthusiastic to participate. Following a good meeting we were educated by Tis who
demonstrated her techniques of loosening up while painting with water media and some collage.
The Uptown paintings that were displayed in several shops were picked up July 1. They had a great reception
by the public and the "People's Choice Award" went to Pat Meras for her wonderful pastel painting which was
displayed at J Jill's.
The Pleine Aire group is in full swing now. If you are interested in joining them you can contact Anne Knapp
(253-265-6700) to get on her e-mail list for information on the venues each week.
Everything is set for our Summer Art Festival on July 20-21. We still need a few more volunteers so please
contact Myrna Binion (253-857-4222) and see what is needed. The Member's Show at Key Bank during the
festival also needs a few more hosts during the show. If you would like to assist, please contact Cathie Johnson ((971-241-5418) or Greg Trathen at (253-265-3669).
Please DO NOT ENTER the bank until 3:00pm Fri July 19 to deliver your paintings. We do not wish to disturb the customers by forming
a large line throughout the bank. The committee will be set up and ready to go at 3:00.
Remember, any volunteers who put in 4 hours or more are entitled to a free festival T shirt for their service.
Roberta Rogers has volunteered to take the position of coordinator of hanging the art at TCC Gig Harbor campus. We change the art every two months. So if you are interested in hanging at TCC, please contact Roberta at (roberta000@centurytel.net.
We will not be meeting before our Regional show in August and they also need some more volunteers to help with taking in the art work
and taking it down. Please contact Sheila Anderson (253-549-2896) or Karen Wilsey (253-549-2929) to help out.
We have several position that need to be filled for our next year. We will be discussing these in more detail in September. Please be
thinking of something you might due to help out.
A discussion was made about a change of venue for our monthly meetings. We are waiting for confirmation on the new location which
will be more centrally located in Gig Harbor. Please check your newsletters and web site as we will be making this announcement regard
the change. This would occur for our September meeting.
Looks like the nice weather is here!!!!! Let's get painting some great things.

Called to order at 10:04am
Members present: Mary, Cathie, Greg, Jo Ann, Sheila, Charli, Ceci, Judy B., Karen, Hilaire, Charlee, Myrna, Anne
Treasurer’s Report (Charli): $182,253.30
Correspondence – (Jo Ann)

Re: the scholarship committee – PAL received thank you notes from scholarship recipients, Sara Harrison and GHHS Tides Scholarship Foundation. Jo Ann suggested that the committee report on scholarship distribution during member meetings. Jo Ann emailed Sherrie Bonsell asking her to
keep her informed and to invite recipients to come to future meetings. Charlee asked Sherrie Bonsell for scholarship recipient information for the website. Also, it would be good to put out press releases now at the end of the school year. Jo Ann would like Sherrie to come to the general member
meeting to talk about this years’ scholarship recipients and/or to write an article for the newsletter. Many thanks to Sherrie for her dedication to the
scholarship committee. Overall, heads of committees need to submit reports to the President and any member can write general articles for newsletter.

Also, PAL received an email from Lorene to thank us for the retirement and gift cards.
Peninsula Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Empty Bowls project is looking for donated bowls by local potters for their fundraising effort to feed the
hungry. They also need artwork for the silent auction. Beth Allen is the contact person and more information will be passed on to Carlene for the
newsletter. Their efforts benefit local food banks.
Positions to fill – (Jo Ann)
Open Show coordinators
President
TCC Coordinator – Chris Cotton has resigned from position.
Equipment Manager – Patti McQuillan sent Jo Ann a description of Equipment management. There needs to be an inventory made of the
contents and keys to storage unit.
Member-at-Large – Myrna suggested getting a new member to fill this spot as it is a good way to meet other members.
Assistant program coordinator – Judy would like to have someone to train to take over this position.
DVD Librarian – Judy Caruthers will be moving to AZ. This is also a good volunteer spot for new members.
Summer Art Festival – (Myrna) Emily Porter may take over the financial part of the Festival. We still need volunteers and this will be talked about at
the member meeting. We got a room at the library for 15 July from 2 to 4pm for volunteers to pick up their t-shirts ahead of the Festival. Committee
heads need to get info to Jo Ann as to what jobs still need volunteers so that she can announce it at the general member meeting. Festival committee
will meet again on 26 June at Myrna’s. Charlee passed around posters and rack cards for members to distribute. Anything having to do with money
needs to be brought up to Charli before she travels. Myrna has hired kids to help set-up and break-down and the credit card machine needs to be activated and only used for PAL booth materials and/or Key Bank show sales.
Mary Bessette – passed away last week. She founded and ran the Festival for a good 15 years. PAL owes her a huge debt of gratitude. Myrna proposed a scholarship in her name. Motion MSP that we establish an annual Mary Bessette Memorial Award for $150 at the Summer Member
Show. Charli reported general info re: Festival from Jon Lonning.
Summer member show - (Cathie) We still need volunteers to staff the bank show. Jo Ann would like to see the award checks be presented to the winners in an envelope. Regional Show – (Sheila and Karen) Sponsors generally budget in September so we need to submit requests to them before then
for the next years’ show. Entries are coming in and we have sent the juror instructions. The new venue (Harbor History Museum) has presented some
issues (e.g. size limit) that have been addressed.
Uptown Display – (Anne) Pat Meras won People’s Choice Award and it will be presented to her at the General Member meeting. Arts Center –
(Anne) The GHACA fundraiser reached the PAL matching grant of $2000. Plein air schedule – (Anne) Feather has come up with additional opportunities. Tacoma Urban Sketching invited our members to join them. It would be a good idea to get on the Tacoma List Serve. Net Shed Challenge - 8
x10 or under plus frame (plein air or not). Chamber of Commerce has map of locations of net sheds. Stroh’s Meeting Room – (Jo Ann) Access to the
meeting room is through the new store to old store. Lighting is being replaced. There is lots of space with tables and chairs available. Water/bathroom
available in the new building and heating will need to be improved. We would have to change the time/day of general member meetings and be out of
the building at 8:pm sharp. Suggested that we have our social before the business meeting and demo. Charli suggested we survey the general membership, maybe via email. Charlee volunteered to do this. Myrna wants to make sure they know that we will be bringing stuff/equipment through the
store. Discussion of other venues/days/times. Any decision should be made before September. Myrna and Judy B will check out the B&G club and
Methodist church on Pioneer.
Next meeting in September.
Meeting adjourned at 11:47am
Respectfully Submitted,
Mary McInnis, Secretary

Empty Bowls Project
Peninsula Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
(PUUF) has made the Empty Bowls Project a yearly
community service. Empty Bowls is a project of The
Imagine/Render Group, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to positive and lasting social
change through the arts, education and projects that
build community.
Our local event is held at the Olalla Bluegrass
Festival (Saturday August 17th this year). We will
be serving soup and strawberry shortcake. Last
year we were able to give $1000.00 to each of the
local food banks (Key Peninsula/GH/Kitsap). Everything is donated and 100% of the proceeds go to
them.
We are asking of donated bowls from the local
artists. We are also discussing the possibility of having a silent auction for a certain number of art pieces
to help us increase our donations to the food
banks. We would like your input.
Our local Empty Bowls Project contributes to a
nationwide effort to raise hunger awareness. Thank
you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Beth Allen
PUUF board member

The Gig Harbor Arts Center Alliance (GHACA) had their
first small fundraiser on Friday evening June 14th to raise
money for an Economic Feasibility Study necessary for this
project to move forward. It was held at Babich Net Shed
near Tides Tavern, and its primary focus was on the Arts
groups and Artists that lead in our area. Peninsula Art
League issued a “Matching Grant Challenge” of up to $2000
for the event. I am happy to report that we raised over
$3000 towards the $50,000 goal. The official notice was
presented at the PAL meeting on June 25th , and Charli
Meacham wrote the $2000 “matching funds” check from
PAL and presented it to me for GHACA. I want to Thank
PAL for being such a wonderful support and proponent of
the Arts in our area. Our GHACA Board is extremely thankful for the money and the impetus that it gave our fund raising. We have just started our website- google: Gig Harbor
Arts Center and you’ll see it. We will try to put regular updates on the site, and you can see the visual plans for the
Arts Center as well. The most exciting thing to look at is the
fabulous video made by Juleen Murray Shaw (a local actor
and Peabody award winning producer who is on GHACA
Board) and Sean Bonsell (son of PAL head of scholarshipsSherry Bonsell). It is a truly fine work- worthy of PBS! Just
click on the arrow where it says “Watch 10 local artists
talk…”- or go directly to You Tube via this link: https://
www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzIbsf8htVE. We hope to get a
“donate now“ button that will take credit cards- but for now, if
you can donate to this important cause- please send check
to GHACA 8133 Shirley Av Gig Harbor Wa. 98329. The
sooner we raise the money for the study the faster we can
move forward! Anyone who would like to help me with future
fundraisers, let me know- it’s way more fun when work is
shared- plus you’ll meet interesting people from all the Arts!
Thanks to all- Anne Knapp
