Silent Auction during April meeting In June of 2021 PSST received a donation of art supplies made by the estate of Anne Eckley, who passed away earlier in the spring. Anne was a pastel artist and former member of PSST. She had enjoyed coming to our meetings and socializing with our members. In the interest of sharing these art supplies from Anne’s studio and raising operating funds for our society, we would like to offer these supplies in the form of a silent auction. These items have been part of a working studio, and most are gently used. The monies received will be used to help pay for our guest demos. All items will have a starting price listed. PSST would like to personally thank the Eckley family for this wonderful donation. We know that these items will go on for years in creating more beautiful pastel paintings - Sherry Killingsworth, President.
