Ok... Selfie time. The hair seems to be holding up ok... benefits of a very good haircut back in February, though I am looking forward to being able to go see Kim at @tahoe_transformations once we are back to bring able to support our local salons in person. In the meantime, if you have the capacity consider contacting your salon owner and purchasing products, or a gift certificate. They are likely to be one of the last businesses to be phased back in. ❤️ #supportlocalbusinesses #beauticiansareartists #helpinsmallways #keepeachothergoing #staystrongtahoe

Day four of the seven day art challenge from @mpip

Day four of the seven day art challenge from @mpiperj . Believe it or not these two are related, and represent a journey from one creative adventure to the next, and the way that one practice can intersect with another... Four years ago I collaborated with @mtnforge (today's tag as well... You're it!) To create a large interpretive mural for the then-new Aquatic Center for @tdrpd . I would also love to post a photo of that project, but will have to do so on Facebook, because I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the photo from "here to there" and available to pay updating my phone, which is decidedly newer than the photo (technical ineptitude, what can I say). The Aquatic Center mural depicts a stylized version of Truckee's surrounding landscape, and incorporates forged metal elements that depict and our community as an interconnected ecosystem, celebrating the contributions of hundreds of donors giving what they could to support the completion of the Project... More relevant now that ever, I think. That mural was created on reclaimed lake Tahoe pier wood, and the painted landscape images were purposefully done using sepia tones, to reference the history of the region.
The second image above (Mother and Child II) was created around that time, using similar techniques, that had been developed for a full room mural in a private home... The mountain lion was created more recently, adding in my current use of items materials with the historic wood panel. Everything is connected.

Day three of the seven day art challenge from @mpi

Day three of the seven day art challenge from @mpiperj ... This little acrylic on linen canvas depiction of a stallion was inspired by the person I'll be tagging today to carry this creative networking forward. @troy_wright_fit has been doing beautiful photographic work capturing many things in our wilderness environment, but I've particularly fallen in love with his in depth studies of the regional wild horse herds. I've loved horses since I was a little girl; the thing I most consistently returned to drawing as I learned and practiced those skills was always and forever horses. I'm sure my parents got tired of me asking if I could please please please have a horse... We could turn the garage into a stable and I could ride it in the nearby fields... The dreams of a seven, eight, nine, ten year old... 😉 If you or someone you love would like this portrait of a wild mustang, message me. It's 11x14. #localartist #wildhorses #Tahoe #Nevada #contemporarywildlifeart

Another print of a previous painting... This one is titled "Mother and Child"... It was created within a larger series of images that center on expressions of motherhood in our wilderness dwelling neighbors. In addition to the original painting which is 24x24", I have produced this image in postcards, greeting cards, small matted prints, and full scale giclee reproductions on stretched canvas. I have one full sized canvas giclee available, actually; if you or your mama would like it, I'm happy to deliver it locally or ship it if not. Another great place to contact for Mama's Day things: @wordafterwordbooks in Truckee. They ship, and fun bonus, they carry my cards too... So get something relaxing for Mom and ask them to include a card for her. Like sending flowers, but it lasts longer. ❤️ Heck, send flowers too. It hurts birthing a child. #buytruckee #buylocal #mothersday #localart #mamaartist #wildlifeart

This is a print of a painting I did of my son when he was around 3 (perhaps slightly younger, I'm not sure now; time does fly doesn't it?)... He was experiencing a trampoline for the very first time and fell completely in love with the experience, so much so that he was vehemently oposed to leaving when it was time to go. Parents, you all know what I mean 😉. The title is "Perpetual Motion" and it was my attempt to capture the bubble of pure, blurred motion joy that he was in, when nothing else existed in the world except for bouncing. #motherhood #lovemyboy #momentsofjoy #perpetualmotion #tahoeartist

As mother's day approaches I'll be posting some things that might be a nice way to celebrate the mamas in your life, while supporting a self employed artist ❤️ So on the "supporting the arts" theme I'll also be shouting out other creatives, so please go check them out. This first post is focused on postcards and greeting cards, which depict mother and child relationships within the wild world. Message me if you are interested; I've been sending out sets of cards across the country (nice, because it helps support our postal service) but will also be happy to simply send directly and write a note from you if you like... Kind of like florists do 😉. A few other artists and makers to check out for beautiful and creative gifts are the owners of Riverside Gallery: @alannahughespottery @kahlilacc @buchanjewelry @sondrealarsen and @wildhairwelding #localart #supportartists #loveyermama #motherandchild #community #connection #motherslove #allweneedislove
