ARTSCOUNCIL Red Bluff Art Associa- tion's March Artist of the Month is Bernice Snively. In spite of Bernice's state- ment that she is more of a "doodler," her work encom- passes the gamut of artis- tic expression. "Not only has Bernice been a wonderful addi- tion to the membership, she is a very talented art- ist working in many medi- ums," said President Kathy Brehm. From her earliest years growing up in the San Di- ego area, Bernice always enjoyed art above all else. At age 7 she did her first oil painting. While in el- ementary school she also dug clay from her back- yard and made a sculp- ture of a head complete with hair. She insisted that her mother send it to Pres- ident Eisenhower who was ill at the time. Bernice was thrilled to receive a thank- you letter from Mamie. Working in clay has re- mained a favorite medium. Bernice took all the art classes she could while in high school including some college level classes. She created numerous sculp- tures and portraits dur- ing this period. Somewhat later she also completed a mural at a grammar school in El Cajon. Fabric art is a continu- ing interest of Bernice's. She has created numerous sock toys. One of these was a 16-foot dragon using ir- rigation tubing as a struc- tural frame. Her most re- cent project includes the creation of a centerpiece for the June luncheon of the service club, Beta Sigma Phi. She created the design of a horse, cov- ered wagon and three pio- neer women. Her daughter, son-in- law and grandson have now completed the struc- ture for the horse from ce- ment tubing which Bernice will then finish with rope. Bernice declares that drawing is a constant pas- time. However, she is also currently painting water- colors. Her favored subject is landscapes with ocean and trees. Above all she en- joys the many shapes and colors of clouds. Although a long-time supporter of RBAA, Ber- nice began active atten- dance several years ago. She says the Art Associa- tion has given her many new ideas and she finds the friendliness and willing- ness to help very encour- aging, such that she has now involved her daugh- ter Tammy as a member. Her greatest joy at the moment is the birth of her first great granddaughter. Baby joined 6 grandchil- dren. RBAA, bringing art op- portunities, education and enrichment to the North Valley, meets at 10 a.m. Thursdays at the Tehama District Fairground, 650 Antelope Blvd., Red Bluff.
