Anza Valley Artists Club’s Fall Show The Anza Valley Artists (AVA) Club’s Fall Show was enjoyed by many. For this fall’s show, Valentina was the featured artist. Her paintings were well enjoyed, and so were the paintings of the other artists who attended the function. Valentina is conducting classes at her home in Anza; the classes will function as an opportunity to learn from a world class master painter. Valentina’s home is surrounded by special quiet places like themed gardens, making it the perfect artist retreat to provoke creativity. For more information about this opportunity, call Valentina at (951)659-0599. If you would like to contact any of these artists, you can contact AVA President Jill Roberts at (858)774-5855. The AVA meets the third Saturday of each month and are seeking new members.
