Welcome to “Pastels USA”, the 24th Annual International Open Exhibition of the Pastel Society of the
West Coast. Visitors to the exhibit will have the opportunity to enjoy 105 paintings from pastel artists from
19 states and Canada. Awards will be presented at our Awards Reception on June 13, 2010.
On behalf of the PSWC Board, I would like to congratulate each of the wonderful artists selected for this
year’s exhibit at the Art Museum of Los Gatos in Los Gatos California. Our three Jurors of Selection:
Kim Lordier, PSWC-DP, PSA, Dan Petersen, and Duane Wakeham, PSWC-PL, PSA had to make difficult
choices from 477 images submitted by 182 artists. Thanks to these jurors for their time and care in selecting
this beautiful show.
My appreciation extends as well to our Juror of Awards, Richard McKinley PSWC-DP, PSA, NPS from
Oregon, for his excellent selection of paintings which received special recognition.
I would also like to thank Catherine Politopoulos, Meg Nelson and the staff of the Museum of Los Gatos for
providing their excellent museum for our exhibit as well as their support, cooperation and help. We are truly
fortunate to be able to display these wonderful pastel paintings here. Making all this possible as well, are our
very generous sponsors and donors, who through their support, help promote the pastel medium and art
appreciation in general.
As the President of PSWC, I would like to also thank the PSWC Board Members, all volunteers, who helped
all along the way to make this exhibit such a success. Special thanks to Jerry Boyd, who put in many hours
and extra care both as show chair and shipping agent; Maria Sylvester, who designed this beautiful catalog,
the prospectus and call for entries cards; and Linda Roemisch, who was responsible for contacting and
procuring all of our contributions for awards.
Sincerely
Tina Moore, President & Awards Chair

Pastel is not colored chalk. Pastel is pure pigment– the same pigment used in making all fine art paints. It is the most permanent of all media when applied to a perma-nent ground and properly framed. There is no oil to cause darkening or cracking, nor other substance or medium to cause fading or blistering. Pastels from the 16th Century exist today, as fresh and alive as the day they were painted! The following is a statement from the Pastel Society of America in New York: Pastel does not refer to pale colors, as the word is commonly used in cosmetic and fashion terminology. The name Pastel comes from the French word “pastische” because the pure, powdered pigment is ground into a paste, with a small amount of gum binder, and then rolled into sticks. The infinite variety of colors in the Pastel palette range from soft and subtle to bold and brilliant. An artwork is created by stroking the sticks of dry pigment across an abrasive ground, embedding the color in the “tooth” of the paper, sandboard or canvas. If the ground is completely covered with Pastel, the work is considered a Pastel painting; leaving much of the ground exposed produces a Pastel sketch. Techniques vary with individual artists. Pastel can be blended or used with visible strokes. The medium is favored by many artists because it allows a spontaneous approach. There is no drying time, and no allowances to be made for a change in color due to drying. Historically, Pastel can be traced back to the 16th century. Its invention is attributed to the German painter Johann Thiele. A Venetian woman artist, Rosalba Carriera was the first to make consistent use of Pastel. Chardin did portraits with an open stroke, while LaTour preferred the blended finish. Thereafter a galaxy of famous artists...Watteau, Copley, Delacroix, Millet, Manet, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Vuillard, Bonnard, Glackens, Whistler, Thomas Wilmer Dewing,William Merritt Chase... just to list the more familiar names, used Pastel as finished work rather than preliminary sketches. Edgar Degas was the most prolific user of Pastel, and its champion. His protege, Mary Cassatt, introduced the Impressionists and Pastel to her friends in Philadelphia and Washington, and thus to the United States. In 1983, Sotheby Parke Bernet sold at auction two Degas Pastels for more than $3,000,000 each. Both Pastels were painted about 1880. Today, Pastel paintings have the stature of oil and watercolor as a major fine art medium Many of our most renowned living artists have distinguished themselves in Pastel, and enriched the art world with this beautiful medium.
As with any fine work of art or fine furniture, it is advised not to place a Pastel painting in direct sunlight. When under glass, the sun’s heat can create humidity which could cause moisture damage to develop. Whenever transported or not in a hanging position a Pastel painting should always be placed face up.

The Pastel Society of the West Coast was founded in 1985 by a handful of dedicated artists from Northern California who had a vision to promote the historic pastel medium. The first Pastels USA National Open competition was held in 1986. Based in the Sacramento region of California, PSWC has become the second largest pastel society in the United States, with members coast to coast. Each year Pastels USA, our International Open Show attracts almost 500 entries. They come from all over North America and as far away as Africa, Turkey and Europe. Awards given amount to over $11,000 each year. Jurors for this prestigious show include artists of the stature of Daniel Greene, Albert Handell, Doug Dawson, Sally Strand, Duane Wakeham and Margot Schulzke. The exhibition draws over a thousand art patrons each year. PSWC is honored to be at the prestigious Art Museum of Los Gatos this year. Past venues for Pastels USA include the Triton Museum in Santa Clara, CA, the Haggin Museum in Stockton, CA and the San Luis Obispo Art Center. Because of PSWC’s reputation, some of the best pastelists in the country are signature members. Signature Status is awarded for acceptance into three Pastels USA Exhibitions or two Pastels USA Exhibits and one award in the PSWC Membership Show. The Distinguished Pastelist rank is awarded to members who receive awards in three Open Shows in a five year period. The Pastel LaureateTM Hall of Fame designation for lifetime achievement in the medium has been awarded thus far to Albert Handell, Daniel Greene, Bob Gerbracht, Margot Schulzke, Marbo Barnard and Duane Wakeham. The current PSWC Board of Directors is dedicated to continuing the momentum started 23 years ago. Besides sponsoring two exhibitions a year, The Pastel Society of the West Coast holds two membership meetings a year featuring demonstrations by accom-plished pastelists. We publish a newsletter three times a year providing the latest informa-tion on pastel technique, exhibition opportunities and member accomplishments. PSWC also sponsors a scholarship competition each year for high school graduates who will be majoring in art. Given the strong leadership PSWC has enjoyed in its first two decades, we are confident that this society will be around for many years to come. Membership in The Pastel Society of the West Coast is open to all artists working in the historic pastel medium. Information about PSWC including how to become a member can be found on our web site www.pswc.ws
