Ms. Long studied at the University of Hawaii and has painted with many pastel superstars, including Margot Schulzke, Albert Handell, Clark Mitchell, Michael Chesley Johnson, and more. She is a signature member of the Pastel Society of the West Coast, an Associate of the Pastel Society of America, and a California Art Club Associate.
