Desert Artist League

About Us

The Desert Artists’ League was founded in 1957 by a group of artist friends. We are a talented group of people who work in various mediums: watercolor, acrylic, oil, encaustic, ceramics, pastel, mixed media, and fiber arts. We love to share camaraderie, enthusiasm, tips and techniques.

Over the years we have learned from well-known artists such as Brenda Swenson, Tom Fong, Howard Rees, Roland Lee, Anita Wolf, Iris Adams, Mary Barrie, William Hosner, Linda Kemp, Dale Laitenen, Lian Zhen, M. Katherine Hurley, David Musser, Fran Nichols, Colleen Reynolds, Mada Leech, Charlotte White, Kristine Buchanan, Linda Viborovik, Lon Levin, Peggy Sands, Helga Batman-Kloplin, Todd Arthur Wolf, Jean Krumbein, Maryann Thomas, Hamil Ma, Ramon Ramirez, Richard McKinley, Rich Gallego, Joe A. Oakes and others.

We have participated in shows and studio tours, participated in the local Fair, and been supportive of each other.
