One of our beloved artists at Artworks Studio & Gallery over the years has been Dorothy Tugwell Pilurs. Dorothy left us in 2015, but she left us with many fond memories and many beautiful works of art. All of the following works are pastels on paper. This is a small tribute to Dorothy and her legacy from all of us here at Artworks. We love you, Dorothy.



























We love you, Dottie!

The remaining 22,000 are left to make other arrangements.”

We encourage you to bring several food contributions for this wonderful charity. The following food items would be greatly appreciated by families this organization serves: Pasta, Pasta Sauce (in a can, not glass), Rice, Canned Beans, Canned Chicken, Canned Tuna, Chili, Ravioli, Peanut Butter, Cereal, Oatmeal, Grits.
