The Boca Raton Branch of the NLAPW welcomes guests and members to all monthly luncheon programs and events. Explore the encouragement and opportunities that you will find among other creative women such as yourselves. The National League of American Pen Women (NLAPW) was founded in 1897 in Washington, D.C. to promote the development of creative women in the arts. The League’s headquarters are loca

ted in the historic Pen Arts Building in the DuPont Circle area of Washington. The Boca Raton Branch, whose proud history originated with a modest “baker’s dozen” in 1975, now boasts more than 100 members, making it the largest branch in Florida, and one of the largest in the nation. Our members bring diverse talents in all areas of the arts not only to our monthly program luncheons, but to the entire community. Among our members you’ll find newspaper and magazine writers, screenplay and book authors, sculptors and painters in all media, photographers, public relations and advertising experts, musicians and composers. Our branch has long been active in the community, routinely reaching out with writing programs and contests, as well as public art shows. In addition, we have developed outreach programs that not only serve the community, but also help the organization maintain its not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) status. The branch holds program luncheon meetings the 3rd Thursday of the month, from October through May, at the Delray Beach Golf Club. For membership information, please visit our website. The U.S. population has more than tripled since the birth of the League. More than a decade into its second century, 55,000 writers, artists and musicians have been proud to call themselves Pen Women. Many of the battles fought by the founders have largely been won, but other challenges remain. For professional women, parity with men in the workplace is still a goal to be achieved.

“Pot of Gold” by Fran Goodman
Boca Raton Branch
Acrylic with acrylic skins (36×36)
The January 4th issue of the NLAPW special correspondence Featured Art by Fran Goodman (Boca Raton Branch).
Artist’s Statement for this beautiful painting:
My interest, when I paint, is "to build life" into the piece. I do this by heavily layering and texturizing the canvas. For "Pot of Gold", I mixed acrylic paint with molding paste to create the swirls of color surrounding the image of the pot. For the pot itself, I relied on a combination of pumice gel for the base and acrylic skins which I twisted and shaped and spread over and onto the pot. I find the skins, which are made from dried acrylic paint, add an extra layer of dimension, and give an extra boost of life to my paintings.
