Artists with PEL connections contributed a good portion of the work displayed in the 2016 Nearly Annual Christmas Show and Sale in Cobb Gallery. The show ran Monday-Friday from December 5, through December 13, and a portion of the proceeds benefited the John Eckert Memorial Fund, which provides scholarships for visual art students.
Gallery manager Kirsten Ruginski said the works by PEL-connected artists ranged from watercolors to weavings and included work from a recent graduate and from current and former Eckerd College employees and instructors.
Below: The display included several watercolors by Linda Swindall, who worked at one time as the coordinator of special projects in PEL.
Below: PEL graduate Betsy Orbe Lester '94, who became a PEL instructor and now is an adjunct with Eckerd College, provided these mixed-media works.
Below: Work by Stella N. Anderson, former assistant registrar for PEL, included ink paintings, handmade journals, and weavings.

and is co-editor of The PEL Connector.
