About the 2022 convention…
I am so very excited to share with you
about my visit to Eureka to set up the convention.
I was able to do a video interview with JoSonja that we
will share with you at the convention.
I also got to see many pieces she is working on.
You all are going to be very pleased with her work.
We will be doing a Telemark
design on a dragon foot tine.
She has incorporated some new ideas on traditional
painting and color and has been working very hard on a special
piece for us. She
is so full of knowledge that she will share with us.
I know that things have been very
difficult and different these last 2 ½ years.
When visiting with JoSonja I was so inspired by her
recent paintings, her knowledge, and the quality and beauty of
her pieces. I am sure that you will be pleased too.
JoSonja, just like us, is looking forward to connecting
and sharing with us.
It will be nice to be together again.
Please be patient and prepared to learn
and enjoy. You will
be AMAZED.
Love too all my painting friends. 530-949-7187 penniewilkins@gmail.com In 1974, JoSonja was awarded a Master Teacher's Certificate by the National Society of Tole and Decorative Painters. In 1980 the Silver Palette award was bestowed by the same organization in recognition of outstanding contribution to the advancement of Decorative Art. In 1996, the Vesterheim Gold Medal (VGM) in Rosemaling, from the Norwegian American Museum in Decorah, Iowa was awarded. In 2007 she was awarded the Presidents Commendation award for service by the Society of Decorative Painters.
The 2022 CRA Convention project will be a Telemark Dragon
Tine designed by JoSonja for CRA! She has used
traditional colors to bring new life and vibrancy into her new
pieces. You will be
amazed. JoSonja has
so many things to teach us and is our California treasure.
You won’t be
disappointed. I hope
you can join us. |
