Angela Funk served on the board of directors for the Lebanon Valley Council on the Arts and lived by the vision, "Where there is art, there is life, and we envision the arts for everyone." An accomplished watercolor, pottery, acrylic, and stained-glass artist, she taught workshops that showed student artists how to observe their world in new ways. She became known for painting river rock mandalas with repeatable dotted patterns in bright contrasting colors that portrayed tranquility and order. At age 45, a rare form of cancer separated her from this community, but her art keeps her close to its heart.
