HISTORY

Picture
Watercolor painting by founder Dagmar Tribble
Dagmar H. Tribble, AWS, was an accomplished watercolor artist who resided in Princeton, NJ.  She founded the Garden State Watercolor Society, a non-profit organization in 1970, for the purpose of promoting watercolor painting in the State of New Jersey.  She continued as President until her death in 1989.  The Garden State Watercolor Society offers all members opportunities to exhibit their work, participate in workshops and compete for awards and community recognition. Striving to benefit both its members and the public, the Society provides lectures and watercolor demonstrations, providing ongoing educational opportunities.
