As a longtime WCA member, I treasure the relationships forged, lessons learned and challenges addressed that continue to bind us together. We are at our best when we welcome new possibilities and differences. I invite you to make community and connections with one another at the center of your creative practice and this organization.
Do enjoy as I have done!

Every artist needs a place to belong—a community that inspires creativity and celebrates each individual’s journey. I believe in the power of connection: a group of people who encourage one another to create, offer support through every step, and share in each other’s successes. This is what I’ve found within WCA—a welcoming space where artists come together, inspire one another, and grow creatively side by side.

Sandra Mueller
Sandra Mueller is an interdisciplinary artist, writer and arts facilitator, who has been on a lifelong journey of social concern and creative expression. She spent much of the 1990s working on the cutting edge of interactive media before returning to create visual art and launch the BeARTrageous Creativity and Leadership Workshops for Women. She served on the national board of the Women’s Caucus for Art national board and the advisory board for A Window Between Worlds for many years. She is a past president of the Southern California chapter and a board member of Keepers of the Waters. Her colorful abstract paintings and eco-feminist prints have been shown broadly through the Pacific Rim region.
She engages the dynamics of emergence—embrace mystery, choose possibility and invite divergence in both her creative and leadership practices. Her shadow often merges with the natural environment on the horizontal plane of the earth—yet, meets the viewer at eye level. The resultant imagery evokes the inner resolve, strength and compassion to envision new relationships to our dear planet and its most precious resource, water.

The Greening of Fine Art – The foundational embodiment of my approach to creativity and environmental stewardship.
I joined the Women’s Caucus for Art organization and the Southern California chapter in March of 2018. I promptly became a chapter representative because I totally supported the mission of being a support to women artists. When you believe in something that strongly, you put your all into it. I held many positions on the national and chapter boards. Some of the roles I had were Chapter Representative, Regional VP, exhibition committee, membership committee, Think Tank, and conference planning committee. These were extremely rewarding roles and I appreciate having been a part of such an amazing organization.
Bio
Much of Dellis’ work centers around social justice issues that are impacting the nation in these times. Her passion for speaking about the disparities she sees in communities of color is evident in her work. She does so with an environmental slant. Repurposing items that were headed for the landfill is the foundation of her practice. She has coined the phrase The Greening of Fine Art to capture the essence of her practice.
She has been on the board of several arts organizations which include Women’s Caucus for Art (WCA), Southern California Women’s Caucus for Art (SCWCA), SoLA Contemporary Gallery in Los Angeles (SoLA), Friends of Redondo Beach Arts (FRBA), and Palos Verdes Art Center (PVAC) Third Dimension. Dellis works with numerous community organizations that focus their attention on the arts. These organizations include LA Commons, International Eye Los Angeles, the Empowerment Congress of the second congressional district of Los Angeles, Arts for LA, Textile Arts LA, Fiber Art Now and the Cultural Arts Department of Los Angeles, specifically the advisory committee of the Cultural Equity and Inclusion Initiative.
Mrs. Frank has had numerous group and solo gallery showings in the US and internationally.
Dellis is a wife, mother of three and grandmother of two. She resides in Lomita, California.

Laura Morrison
I owe my life as an artist to the Women’s Caucus for Art. If it hadn’t been for the New Hampshire Chapter newsletter I found pinned to a bulletin board decades ago, I might never have discovered this community of inspiring women artists. WCA opened my eyes to a vibrant world filled with supportive women who celebrate each other’s successes and offer help every step of the way. Over the years, I’ve learned so much through my involvement—serving on the NH Chapter and National boards, and ultimately as National President (2020-2022). My life has been infinitely richer and more beautiful because of the women I have met and worked with through WCA.
Laura Morrison is primarily a mixed-media fiber artist whose work combines traditional techniques—felting, embroidery, weaving, crochet, and knitting—to create sculptures, assemblages, installations, and wall art. Occasionally, her practice also includes mixed media printmaking, painting, and bookmaking.
Inspired by the natural world on both macro and micro scales, Morrison finds equal fascination in sweeping landscape views, intricate forms of dividing cells, or tiny lichen on a rock. Her feminist work celebrates feminine strength and power.
Originally from suburban Chicago, Morrison studied graphic design at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and worked as a designer in Chicago before relocating to New Hampshire in 1997 to focus on her fine art. She exhibits her work throughout the United States and has completed public art commissions for the NH State Council on the Arts Percent for Art Program.
For many years, Morrison served as Gallery Director for Twiggs Gallery in Boscawen, NH, where she curated over 50 exhibitions, organized numerous art classes, and coordinated free community art events and programs.
A member of the Women’s Caucus for Art since 1998, Morrison served as the National President from 2020 to 2022. She currently volunteers her time as the WCA Programming Chair and as the Gallery Coordinator for Red River Theatre’s Community Gallery in Concord, NH.
