Born in Pennsylvania, Verna also lived in California, Arizona and Texas. She started drawing at a very young age and got serious about her art in 1980, primarily creating beautiful landscapes. Verna, as most artists, experimented with several mediums. She started in pencil and ink and graduated to watercolor in the mid 1980s. She worked in acrylics for a short time and finally found her favorite medium, pastel, after she moved to Georgetown in 1989. She was a member of the Williamson County Pastel Society and Williamson County Art Guild.

Come and enjoy a 70's themed evening of delicious small bites and refreshments, enticing silent auction items, and live music! While you're groovin' to the 70's tunes, you can participate in our "do-it-yourself" photo booths, get a caricature painting of yourself, watch a live painting in progress, snap a selfie next to an antique VW bus, peruse the WCAG history wall, interact with 70's themed characters, and purchase a one of a kind mini painting/photo by a WCAG artist. Come dressed for the era! Prize for best costume!
