Sylvia Armstrong, Spring Artist of the Season

I was born and raised in Lethbridge, Alberta Canada. After graduating with an associate degree in Business Administration, I worked for more than twenty years in the telecom industry. I lived during this time in both Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta.

My interest in Art did not bubble up until after retirement, when I attended a paint and sip event. I was hooked! I joined the local art guild and started taking courses, reading all I could to teach myself new skills in painting, and volunteering and participating in art events.

After moving to PebbleCreek, I was delighted that I could follow my passion full time. The Creative Art Center was one of the main reasons I agreed to move, and the Art Club activities and painting have become the focus of my life in PebbleCreek.

I have spent almost six years volunteering on the Board of the PebbleCreek Art Club, two as vice president and nearly four as president, and have chaired two Art Club shows each year..read more

Lisa Girolami, March 2026 Featured Artist

Who knew that finger painting in kindergarten would turn into a career! I’m originally from Long Beach, California and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in fine art from California State University, Long Beach in 1984.

I chose CSULB because it has the largest and most diverse art department west of the Mississippi. My college art program was challenging and demanding, but I always found a way to have fun while focusing on painting and drawing.



After graduation, I had an opportunity to work in motion pictures and television and made my way up the ranks from script supervisor to director and producer. While making movies at Walt Disney/Touchstone Pictures, another branch of the company, Walt Disney Imagineering asked me to help produce the films that play in their theme parks. Read more
