Patricia Tribastone and Ray Hassard have both attained the Pastel Society of America's designation as Master Pastelist, although both also paint in oil.

In January, 2010, Rochester's Tribastone was the focus of the cover article of American Artist, and she was again featured in the fall of 2011 in American Artist's "Guide to Painting Flowers."  In 2013, she was awarded first place (oil and acrylic category) at the Hilton Head National Biennial Exhibition and received the Diane Bernhard Gold Medal award at the Pastel Society of America's annual exhibition. She appears currently in the January/February (2014) issue of Pastel Journal.

In 2013, Cincinnati artist Ray Hassard was profiled in both Plein Air magazine and American Art Collector.  He received the Gold Medal award in Pastel Journal's "Top 100 Paintings in Pastel for 2013," and he will be featured in Pastel Journal's March/April 2014 edition.
