Local painter, Patricia Sablak Korzec was recently juried in as an Associate Member of Women Painters West. New members are selected annually through a juried selection process. Founded in 1921 in Laguna Beach, Women Painters West is a non-profit membership corporation with educational, benevolent, fraternal, and charitable objectives. Originally created under the name of The Woman's Art Club of Southern California, the organization saw two name changes before officially becoming Women Painters West in 1983. Many of Women Painters West’s early members were among the great early California women artists including notables Mabel Alvarez, Kathryn Leighton, Elsie Palmer Payne and Donna Norine Schuster. Korzec has been active in the local arts scene for many years serving on the steering committee of the Plein Air Artists of Riverside (PAAR), past Chairperson of the Moreno Valley Arts Commission for three years, and until recently, Chairperson of the Riverside Cultural Consortium. She is a member of the co-op Brandon Gallery in Fallbrook and Fallbrook Art Association. She has won numerous awards for her paintings in Fallbrook, the San Diego Fair and local art shows. She regularly opens her painting studio in the People’s Gallery (Studio 1) for the Riverside Arts Walk on the first Thursday of each month. Korzec is also Executive Director of the March Field Air Museum, a position she has held for the last nine years.
