Dianne B. Bernhard PSA
First Vice President
Dianne B. Bernhard, First Vice President and signature member of the Pastel Society of America, has been a continuing source of support to PSA, both practically and spiritually. Her generosity over the years, in terms of monetary donations and awards given through her Art Spirit Foundation, to our Enduring Brilliance! artists has been inspirational to our society and particularly to the artists who have been the recipients of her largesse.

The 2018 issue of Pastelagram Magazine featured the patronage of the Art Spirit Foundation to the PSA. You can read about it here:
