For more information visit CRITIQUES
Since her first major achievement in 2012 with admission to the California Printmaker Association, Millie Whipplesmith Plank has spent the last decade making a notional name for herself.
“When I discovered printmaking I was elated. Finally, a medium that took my meticulous drawings and transformed them into something earthier and moreevocative than I had the wisdom to do myself.Not only that, but I could make multiple copies without compromising the original image.“

Welcome to the Siskiyou Artists Association (SAA) website. We are a congenial group of Northern California artists who meet regularly to exchange ideas and learn more about visual arts.
SAA supports local artists by providing critiques and demonstrations at scheduled meetings, workshops, and an annual show in late summer. Each year the association also awards a scholarship to a local graduating high school or college art student. SAA has been active in Siskiyou County for more than sixty years.

The beautiful painting on the left is by Anne McTavish and is the People’s Choice Award winner from SAA’s 2025 Annual Member’s Show in August at Siskiyou Art Museum.
How the “Artist of the Year” is chosen –
At each Critique meeting, people are invited to select three of their favorite works. This created the pool of candidates for “Artwork of the Year”. At the February Meeting these pieces are again presented for voting.
The winner of that vote becomes the “Artist of the Year” and has their name engraved on a beautiful silver-plated trophy which they hold for the entire year.
