Always an artist wanna-be, she enjoys taking classes and volunteering to support this jewel in our community. Her day job is in healthcare at St Helena Hospital.

Alina Bednarz comes from a long career in fashion and home accessory design. She began working in sales and marketing for major fashion brands including Gucci, Bottega Veneta and Paloma Picasso. In 1993, she opened her own company, Et Al Designs, where for 30 years she designed, manufactured and sold home accessories and candles.
Alina came to Calistoga in 2004 with her husband and infant son, first as weekenders and later as permanent residents. She became involved with CAC and joined the Board last year. She finds that her involvement with the Art Center has reawakened her creativity.

Lisa Green
I love bright colors and the creative process. I get totally jazzed creating and helping others create. I got into stained glass because of the color! So much life force in it! I have been doing architectural glass work for 37 years at a studio called Great Panes. I also love metal work and studied metal arts thru the Santa Rosa JC for 3 years. I believe that it doesn’t matter who you are, there is an artist hiding in each of us just waiting for that moment to let our imagination shine!
