A Tradition of Excellence
Valerie Wardlaw is delighted to be celebrating an exciting anniversary.
Delta Sigma Theta, the nation’s largest African-American sorority, commemorates its centennial this year. Founded January 13, 1913, on the campus of Howard University, Delta Sigma Theta describes itself as “a sisterhood called to serve.” Leadership and commitment to activism for positive change are required of all members.
Valerie is a member of the Pasadena City College Foundation and the Tournament of Roses®–and a Delta since her college days in Atlanta in the mid-70’s. She talked about her experiences and Delta Sigma Theta’s special beginning to their 2013 centennial celebration: their first-ever float in the Rose Parade®!

Creative Adventurer
Gifted artist Cathy Ashworth knows how to take a risk.
In her multimedia pieces and paintings, Cathy combines disparate elements–and makes them work together. Currently, some of her work is on exhibit in Pasadena’s Folk Tree Gallery’s twenty-sixth annual “Hearts and Flowers” Valentine show.
Cathy’s work for “Hearts and Flowers XXVI” explores both sides of love. Her willingness to bring in the unexpected results in some thought-provoking (and unconventionally beautiful) creations.
At The Folk Tree, Cathy talked about her work, and another risk she took: following her heart to become a full-time artist.
“Hearts and Flowers XXVI: The Valentine Show” runs from now through Sunday, March 2nd. On display are local artists’ works in all types of media, on the subject of love and romance. Admission is free.

Directed By Her Gift
Fine artist Janet Olenik had a surprise recently. But, she says, the surprise didn’t surprise her.
“My paintings always turn out differently than I’d envisioned them,” explained Janet, as she showcased her work in Pasadena’s Folk Tree Gallery, for their annual “Hearts and Flowers” Valentine exhibition.
For this show, Janet created whimsical miniatures such as “Red”:

Her”Queen of Hearts” and “Tea Rose”, on the wall to Janet’s left, similarly convey a sense of fun and warmth.
Janet says her work “decides” what it’s going to be, and she follows its instructions. In our conversation at The Folk Tree Gallery, she talked about her background and her three paintings in the “Hearts and Flowers” exhibit.
“Hearts and Flowers XXVI: The Valentine Show” runs from now through Sunday, March 2nd. On display are local artists’ works in all types of media, on the subject of love and romance. Admission is free.
