Welcome our new Gallery Manager!
We are thrilled to have Eileen Piasecki-Couch as our new Gallery Manager! I have lived in Westcliffe about 10 years, and have been a member of SAG for 6 years. I lived most of my life in Rural New York and worked as a Microbiologist for American Home Products, currently Pfizer Pharmaceuticals until I started my own business (The Pine Island Herb and Spice Company). After 28 years with my own business supplying products to over 60 grocery stores, I sold my company in 2014 and retired to Colorado with my husband when he retired from Pfizer. Since that time, I have worked as an EMT for Custer County Ambulance and Spanish Peaks Regional Health Center with the Ambulance Service and in the ER. Most recently, I worked for the Custer County Public Health Center. I am also a private pilot, and when able, fly non-medical emergency patients for Angel Flight West. I’m currently retired and volunteer for Sangre Arts Guild. The next time you are visiting the gallery, please say hello to her! If you have any questions or concerns, email Eileen at gallerymanager@sangresrartguild.org |
