Attention Fellow Artists! Did you know that the
league has a library of art books? You can borrow
these books for a month at a time! A refundable
deposit fee, per book, secures each item for you.
What a great idea! Check it out! At each monthly
meeting, Joyce will display the books for your
perusal.

Are you interested in becoming involved
with our rotating galleries? This is a great
way to market yourself to the public, exhibit
your work at a bank, and sell your work to
eager collectors!
Please contact Buff Webster, 583-0216

President's Message

Welcome to the Saddleback Art League web site. We
are glad you’ve found us!

We hope we can be of help to you in your art journey, your
art career or if you are looking for some fine art and your
search has brought you to our site, we hope you find what
you’re looking for.

The Saddleback Art League is a community art league
organized to help members learn about art techniques,
media, and have opportunities to sell their artwork and to
socialize with other artists in the community. Our principle
activities include a monthly meeting with a demonstration
artist, an annual juried art show and art show opportunities
to promote and sell your art work.

Demonstration artists are usually well known artists will
excellent credentials and often national reputations. They
typically work in oil, acrylic, watercolor or pastels. Our
annual juried art show draws hundreds of entries and
allows members an opportunity to showcase their best
work, vie for awards and to display their work for the public
to enjoy. The Saddleback Art League also allows members
to display their artwork on its web site.

Our members enjoy many benefits of the Saddleback Art
League and we invite you to attend a meeting and
consider joining. We meet on the second Tuesday of each
month at the Mission Viejo Library in the Community Room.
The Library is located at the southwest corner of La Paz
Road and Marguerite Parkway in Mission Viejo, California,
a family-oriented community in Orange County. Stop by
and join us. We look forward to meeting you and learning
of your talents and interests.

Sincerely,

Rich Hall
President

Next meeting will be held on
November 18
instead of November 11( the library is closed)

Mary Aslin will be our
demo artist for November.
She will demonstate in
                  pastel.

Mary is a traditional
representational painter,
inspired by the profusion
of beauty in people, still
life, and landscapes. Her
richly colored, dramatic pastel and oil paintings
are usually completed alla prima—all at once in
one session—in order to capture the immediacy
and poetry of her subjects.

Mary was born in Salt Lake City in 1962 and grew up
in Oregon and Washington. After receiving a
Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of
Washington, she worked for several years as
cartographer designing maps. A wonderful journey
as the mother of triplets followed and kindled a
newfound joy, energy, inspiration and awareness,
which prompted a deeper pursuit into the world of
fine art and the study of classical representational
painting.

She has studied at The Gage Academy of Art and
with several noteworthy artists. She is a member of
the Southern California Artists Association, the
United Society of Pastel Artists, the Pastel Society
of the West Coast, the Northwest Pastel Society and
the California Art Club. Mary maintains a studio in
Laguna Beach, California and is represented by
Chemers Gallery, Tustin, California. Her award
winning work can be found in private collections in
the U.S. and Europe.

You may view her website at: maryaslin.com.
