"Simple Beauty"
Our show at Northcoast Artists Gallery opened on August 3, 2018. The show will run until September 3. To see some of the work please visit northcoastartists.org for a slide show and blog.
I am showing watercolors and hand dyed silk scarves at the show, and Jon is showing infrared photography, and cement garden art. The show will feature images adhered to woodpanels from the book "Secrets of the Oak Woodlands." The Western Grey Squirrel, California Ground Squirrel, and the Woodrat in her nest are some of the favorites. I also have a new series of paintings of birds nests: Nests from the Red-winged Blackbird, the Western Bluebird, and the House Finch are some of the nests offered. If you look at a bird's next closely, you really see they are a work of art. More info below.
Jon will be showing landscapes and other subjects.
Thoughts from Jon and Ann: "When we create art we have the opportunity to look inside ourselves and reflect on the simple beauty that surrounds us. Simple beauty can take us to another place in time, perhaps only temporarily, but long enough to calm and restore us. When it is shared, art can create a very personal connection with others that has meaning and joy.
Northcoast Artists Gallery is open daily from 11am – 5pm.

"Pomo Path to Little Lake Valley," watercolor.
"Art is my life. It is what gets me up in the morning and what I think about before I go to bed. I could spend all my days painting and creating. Our beautiful countryside in Mendocino County constantly inspires me. As I stop and look around me, I think: Can I capture that sunlit glow, or paint a tree with those dramatic long shadows? Can I express with paint the softness of the fog that rests in the valleys below our home each morning?"
I received my B.A. in Art, with an emphasis in painting, from San Jose State University. I have studied watercolor and fabric design for many years at Mendocino College and the Mendocino Art Center. I was awarded Best of Show for my painting entered in the Second Annual Animal Exhibition at the Mendocino Art Center, and I have received several awards for my paintings exhibited at the yearly WASCO Aqua Areas juried Watercolor Exhibition. For over twenty years I have taught art in all the schools in the Willits area, and eight years at Mendocino College. In 2009 I was honored as the Mendocino County Art Champion in the category of Artist. Each year, this honor is given to an artist who demonstrates artistic excellence in their chosen discipline, and shows a commitment to strengthening their community by using their artistic accomplishments to benefit the wider community. I am currently teaching watercolor classes at Mendocino College. If you are interested in classes please click on "classes" above for more information.
