66 • THE ARTISAN SPRING 2018 Deep Space Nine and The Next Generation. He also did the video games for Star Trek: Borg and Klingon. He mentored and guided numerous make-up artists, whether it was for their make-up exams or learning new techniques. His kindness and generos- ity of spirit and artistry paved the way for many whose careers were bolstered by his coaching. Not only was Dave a fine special effects make-up artist, but his abilities in all phases of make-up kept him in demand on a variety of film and televi- sion productions, from Arachnophobia to E.R. and The Colbys. As with any fine journeyman, he could do everything. In the early 1990s when a gigantic battle to unionize Propaganda Films was waged, Dave Quaschnick was recog- nized for being an inspiration to the crew, manning the picket line and keeping up everyone's spirits. They were successful and achieved not only union wages and representation for the crew, but health and pension benefits. It was a groundbreaking contract at that time. David moved to Grants Pass, Oregon, in 2009 after retire- ment. He began having serious health problems in 2017 and David R. Quaschnick died peacefully at home, surrounded by family on April 9, 2018, at the age of 71. David is survived by his children David R. Quaschnick II, Trualy Matheny and Shannon Quaschnick, as well as his sister Glenda McCloud, and his many nieces, nephews, grandchil- dren and great-grandchildren. David R. Quaschnick (1946-2018) Journeyman Make-up Artist David served in the Navy on the USS Hancock during the Vietnam War. His career as a make-up artist began as a lab tech and make-up artist on the Universal Studios Tour. He became a member of Local 706 Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild in 1981, and a journey- man in 1982. His talent was truly appreciated by so many who brought him in on projects that demanded highly skilled pros- thetic application and a mischievous sense of humor that made the arduous work go faster. There was never a chicken joke that Dave didn't like and he kept his friends on the crew laughing and groaning. Dave won one Emmy and was nominated eight more times for his work on Star Trek: Voyager, EXTENDED FAMILY NEWS Sandra ("Sandi") Rowden (1961-2018) Journeyman Make-up Artist Hardworking and delightfully talented, make-up artist Sandi Rowden joined the Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild in 1996 and elevated to her journey- man status in 1997. Sandi loved the world of special effects make- up and excelled. She was one of those make-up artists who you could always count on to be working on the multitude of char- acters that gave texture to a film or television production. Her endless talent afforded her the ability to provide beautiful beauty make-up skills one day, and bald caps, prosthetics and facial hair the next. She loved the entire process of building a character from application to air brush, from false eyelashes to facial hair. Her abilities were consummate, she loved it all. Her talents opened the door to work on numerous high- budget projects—The Dark Knight Rises, Moneyball, Poseidon, The Island, Pirates of the Caribbean, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and many more, but her willingness to help In Memoriam for her tremendous skills with all types of hair, whether contemporary or period styling. She specialized in braiding, weaves and extensions and the diversity of her abilities and kind- ness for everyone, plus great organiza- tional skills made her a sought-after Department Head most of her career. She was the personal hair stylist for Annette Bening, Elle Fanning, Kirsten Dunst, D.L. Hugely and many others without fanfare, and with quiet privacy. She worked in both feature films and television— The Beguiled, Grey's Anatomy, 20th Century Women, The Bling Ring, Parks and Recreation, Big Love, Atlas Shrugged: Part 1, Galveston, Def Comedy Jam and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Weekends at the DL. She also owned her own hair salon in Los Angeles, frequented by numerous celebrity clientele. Sha was a joy. She was funny, kind and afraid of bugs, didn't like getting dirty on set, so Westerns were definitely not in her genre. But her love of life and optimism made her one of the most wonderfully memorable artisans and people cherished the times they worked with her. She had a large extended family, and in 2017, she married her sweetheart Will Edwards in a beautiful ceremony attended by family and friends. Shandra Page-Edwards battled cancer with courage and determination and a positive attitude, never surrendering to its ravages, but it took our sweet sister on April 4, 2018. Sister Page-Edwards is survived by her husband Will, her mother Nancy, her sisters and extended family.
