The annual Pasadena Senior Center exhibition of watercolor and digital artworks by students ages 55 to 95 with skill levels ranging from beginning to advanced is presented online this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the pandemic, art classes have been conducted online via Zoom. The online exhibition of nearly 70 artworks can be seen at pasadenaseniorcenter.org (click on the first painting to start the slideshow). If you purchase one of the paintings, a portion, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit programs and services of the Pasadena Senior Center.
Instructor Barbara Medford said:
I have noticed the courage it has taken for many of the students to stay motivated and keep painting during the pandemic. These are very special and talented artists. Some students chose pandemic-inspired themes.
Although it has been impossible for the students to meet regularly at the center in an art studio setting to create their works, Medford added it has been important for them to continue the classes through Zoom technology to maintain communication with each other.
“We have become an art family and need to support each other,” she said.
