Pleasanton’s Charlotte Severin is one of six artists nationwide to have a painting chosen for a set of notecards to raise money for the American Association of University Women.
The notecard project is a major fundraiser for AAUW, and 380 members submitted works to be judged. The sets of notecards are sent to 84,000 members in the United States.
Severin, who has been teaching art lessons for the city of Pleasanton for more than 25 years, submitted a watercolor titled “Hollyhocks in My Garden.”
She is a past president of the Livermore-Pleasanton-Dublin Branch of AAUW and also served as a California State AAUW officer. She received her 50-year Honorary Lifetime Membership two years ago.
Severin has traveled extensively and is passionate about the status of women around the world.
“I am thrilled to have my artwork further the status of women through AAUW’s many support programs,” Severin said.
These include scholarships, fellowships, legal support, Tech Trek for teenage girls, salary negotiations, workshops, research and legislative advocacy efforts.
