Florence Regional Arts Al-
liance (FRAA) is pleased to
introduce the December Fea-
tured Youth Artist, Nathan
Pfaff, as well as Featured Art-
ist Elizabeth “Edie” Carhart.
Both artists will be featured
at a reception at FRAA on
Saturday, Dec. 8, during the
Second Saturday Gallery Tour
from 3 to 5 p.m.
The community is invited
to come and meet these two
talented artists, while enjoy-
ing holiday refreshments.
Pfaff is a 14-year-old
ninth-grader who is home-
schooled. He discovered his
favorite medium one summer
while doing yard work for a
friend, who introduced him to
a form of art called Zentangle.
This is basically a stress re-
lieving form of drawing that
uses repetitive patterns.
As Pfaff says, “When my
friend told me about it, I was
instantly hooked, and I have
been doing it ever since. I have
also started a Facebook page
for Zentangle enthusiasts,
which is called ‘Florence Area
Zentangles.’”
Pfaff ’s media of choice in-
clude Micron pens and Pris-
macolor pencils. He really en-
joys using color.
“Zentangle provides me
with a creative outlet that
I hope others will enjoy as
much as I do,” he said.
Carhart was raised in La-
guna Beach, Calif., which is
a small town known as “The
Artist Colony.”
Graduating from high
school with a Festival of Arts
Scholarship Award, she then
attended the University of
Idaho. She graduated with a
Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree
in textiles and fibers, and a
minor in Cultural Anthropol-
ogy.
She also served as a mem-
ber of the Peace Corps for two
years in the Caribbean as an
art teacher and Program Art
Developer.

Carhart retired in 2005
from a career with the Cal-
ifornia and Montana State
Parks and devoted her time to
creating mixed media art with
an emphasis on silk painting.
After retiring to Florence
with her husband three years
ago, she became a member of
FRAA, where she displays her
work, and serves as a volun-
teer.
“For me, art is a passion.
The doing, the process … is
the thing,” she said.
Carhart’s artist signature is
“Zabeth.”
FRAA is located at 120 Ma-
ple St. in Historic Old Town.
