Kings Beach Art Tour coming up this weekend.... 16

Kings Beach Art Tour coming up this weekend.... 16 participating artists, for some it is going to be their first time showing their work to the public, some well established within the local and wider art world; for artists and attendees an opportunity to celebrate life through creativity.
The detail of the stag shows a bit of the detail and process of the piece... I like to use gold leaf and other metals to reference what is precious. We equate "precious" with monetary value, but what times of struggle, or loss, or difficulty continually remind us, is that what is most precious, always, is the intangible... The experience of silent connection to one of our wild, fellow inhabitants of this unique and beautiful planet we get to call home. #wildingseries #tahoeartist #contemporaryartist #contemporarywildlifeart #arttour #celebratelife #celebrateart

When in art school I studied and practiced multipl

When in art school I studied and practiced multiple creative disciplines: ceramics, metalwork and lots of drawing and painting, including traditional painting materials and techniques. My area of focus, however, was actually fiber art... Weaving, dyeing, felting, paper making... But where everything came together was surface design, essentially designing and manipulating fabric surfaces. In that space the elements that I found inspiring within other disciplines, such as color theory in painting, the structure, intuition and composition of drawing, combined with the surface tactility, process and layering of fabric as I would manipulate and change the fabrics, draw into them, stitch into them, building layers, colors and forms into layered fabric paintings. Creativity is cumulative... One thing informs another, circles back, puts one thing down and picks up another, and evolves into something new, all of it passing through the life of the person creating. The latest fiber art pieces are another circle, pulling from my painting work by starting with fabric prints of paintings, paintings that have themselves been informed by a layering, cumulative process that evolved from my inner inclinations expressed through my early fiber work... Then playing with those prints by adding texture, using stitching as a color and line element, stretching the pieces onto wood and using reclaimed elements, which tie in with the constant return to conservation... #gratefultobeanartist #fiberart #contemporarypainting #mixedmedia #creativeprocess #creativeevolution #artplay #tahoeartist #tahoeblackbear

Just another unique something that will be availab

Just another unique something that will be available during the Kings Beach Open Studio Tour next weekend: a one-of-a-kind retouched giclee of Wilding-Flight I, edge-wrapped with reclaimed leather. I rarely produce these large prints, and when I do I change something about them, so this is a 90% scale giclee. It was created for a client that had fallen madly in love with the original painting, which had already sold. In the end they decided to commission a new painting, still playing with the themes and color palette that inspired the original, but unique to them. I've enjoyed having this reminder of a piece which I also loved, and which went to a beautiful and appreciative home. It always feels good to me to know that my brain children are loved. #creativelife #contemporarywildlifeart #contemporaryart #goldeneagle #eagleinflight #gicleeprint #tahoeartist #openstudio

Coming up August 8th and 9th; Kings Beach Open Stu

Coming up August 8th and 9th; Kings Beach Open Studio self guided tour. Sixteen participating artists, with open outside setups, to keep people safe. Please wear your mask, and be prepared to use hand sanitizer and be aware of proximity to others, especially others not in your group. If you're not feeling well, although I'd love to see you, please hold off and we can connect at a later time or digitally. I'll have a variety of originals both large and small, some new fiber art I've been playing with, some of which I've posted here, small takeaways like cards, postcards, prints, and you'll be able to see some works currently in progress, such as the final bear image in this post... a smaller piece, 12x24 on panel, as well as a large 3x5ft. horizontal that is exploring some new layering techniques and depicting high desert and wild horses.... #openart #studiotour #kingsbeach #tahoeartist #contemporarywildlifeart #supportlocalart @northtahoebusinessassociation @lufkinart @artnaturallyspeaking @joytimenow @joegingles @mbrunophoto @tonicarts @getoutofdodge62 @stirlingstudios

Today, 14 years ago, this beautiful boy came into

Today, 14 years ago, this beautiful boy came into the world. He's strong, and smart, and kind, and growing into a wonderful young man. I couldn't be prouder or feel more blessed to be his mom. He doesn't really like to be photographed, but here he is forcibly cuddling the puppy while she was still too excited about him being there to sit still.... #lovemyboy #tothemoonandback🌙
