The primary objective and purpose of Carmel Music Society is to present classical music performances on the Monterey Peninsula and foster the appreciation of classical music among area students.

CVAA is the 'art and the artists' showcasing local fine art: oil, watercolor & acrylics, mixed media, three-dimensional & sculpture, mosaic & glass, photography and jewelry. Our artists work the gallery daily to 'meet & greet' you ~ our community and guests.

We have it ALL at the Carmel Woman’s Club

CWC boasts over 400 members who meet twice a month from October through May of each year. These women (and men) enjoy the stimulating, entertaining, and educational programs which range from humor and music to insights into local history to presentations by artists, authors, chefs, and floral designers.

Each year the programs provide new and interesting presenters and topics followed by a reception with tea sandwiches and sweets. The reception provides a wonderful time for meeting with friends, making new friends, and expanding your community awareness.

Guests are welcome to our programs for a $10 fee or to become a member for a $65 annual membership fee, a nominal investment for a full year of activities. We host at least two primary fund-raiser luncheons each year.  Both events sell out early and provide the support for philanthropic programs each year.

In 1996, I moved to California where I found a new countryside of unlimited vistas, incandescent color, and an ocean full of drama and light. Suddenly I was attracted to landscape and it changed everything. I picked pastels as my medium and for a number of years successfully sold my work through galleries. I entered The Academy of Art University and graduated Cum Laude with a BFA. After graduating, I joined several artist groups including Monterey Bay Plein Air Painters Association (MBPAPA) where I served on the board and as President, and continue as Signature Standards Chair. Recently I was featured in the North Light publication Incite, Dreams Realized, The Best of Mixed Media.

I am an amateur photographer, who enjoys the challenge of photography and seeing the results of my efforts. Photography is a way of meeting people, learning about new places and sharing different ways of viewing the world around us. My photography is a way of capturing and preserving a moment-in-time. The subject matter is varied and ever changing. To me, the ideal photograph is one that evokes an emotion or memory. It can elicit a laugh, a smile or a memory of a story long forgotten.
