Arlaina was raised in Pinedale and spent most her childhood snow-birding near Austin, TX where her love of music was fueled by frequenting concerts, performing small gigs, and playing her guitar and ukulele on main street Fredericksburg, TX. Arlaina worked at an art gallery in TX, before getting married and moving back to Pinedale with her husband. She then worked for the Museum of the Mountain Man as their graphic designer for 6+ years before getting hired on with PFAC. Other than being an avid camper, hiker and forager she spends most of her time making wild tea blends, adventuring with her toddler son and hanging out with her huge extended family.

Growing up here in Pinedale, PFAC was a part of my childhood. After living in a large urban area I returned to Pinedale with even deeper appreciation for access to the arts. My son Symon, daughter Yulia, husband Scott and I love Wyoming's endless outdoor recreation opportunities AND getting to see world class musicians, acrobats dancers, and actors without driving for miles. I am currently a preschool teacher at Sublette BOCES Early Education Program; everyday is new discovering the world from my three year old  students' perspectives! 

After wandering the Eastern U.S. and spending 6 years in Europe, Sid settled in Wyoming. He has since retired from the Sublette County Library System and pretends to be ranching on his in-laws100-year-old ranch west of Pinedale. Having the opportunity to support the arts in Sublette County by joining the PFAC Board was a no-brainer.

Tesa Manning joined the Pinedale Fine Arts Council in 2016 and serves as the Treasurer. She received her Accounting degree from the University of Wyoming where she also minored in graphic design and spent as much time as she could in the art studio. She is a Sublette County native and a licensed CPA, operating her own firm in Pinedale. She loves the small town life, helping out on the family ranch, year-round PFAC shows, and the amazing access to the outdoors. 

Besides being a dark, handsome art enthusiast, Matt is husband to a total babe, father to four crazy good-looking boys, and an around the clock welder.  He enjoys long walks on the frozen beach, sleep (from what he remembers about it), and really long board meetings.  He is also big fan of art in all its forms. 

Katie was born and raised in small Choteau, MT. She was a flying crew chief on C-130's in the Air Force for 14 years stationed in Arizona and Germany and deployed 9 times. Katie went to the University of Maryland and University of Montana in Missoula to pursue Art Education. She has worked in the civilian aviation industry as a quality inspector for an aviation modification company. Katie taught art in Farson, WY and is currently the art teacher at Pinedale High School. Katie has been in love with what PFAC does for our community since she lived in the Farson area and since moving to Pinedale four years ago her own students have directly benefitted from PFAC grants, visiting artists and beyond! Katie is a season ticket holder and love the Summer Soundcheck Series. PFAC is such a gem in this remote and extraordinary community. She is honored to join the board when asked and hopes to help support what the organization does and provides for us all!

Theresa grew up in Gordon, NE and graduated from Chadron State College. She began working in libraries when she was 13 years old and continued until her retirement in 2017. Theresa was the school librarian in Big Piney for 32 years. An avid theater goer, she has been a season ticket holder at the Capital Theater/Eccles theater for over 30 years. Theresa was a member of Big Piney’s Fine Arts Council when they had one back in the late 80s/early 90s. When she was asked to serve on the current board she was happy to come out of retirement.
