Celebrating Art in

The Humboldt Arts Council has reached a milestone this year—45 years as Humboldt County’s largest multidisciplinary arts organization! Planned is a full year of celebrations including honoring past Board Members, Volunteers, and Artists who have supported the efforts of the HAC in bringing the arts fully into community life.

As part of this year-long celebration, the Humboldt Arts Council has compiled 45 years of archival materials featuring ephemera from exhibitions, events and programs that have made the arts a vital part of Humboldt County over the past four and a half decades. Interested in exploring our history? View the archives by appointment by calling (707) 442-0278.

Each quarter in 2011 the Humboldt Arts Council will be raffling off wonderful works of art by local artists. Purchase tickets for $10 each and throw your hat in the ring to add to your collection! Tickets are available for purchase at the Morris Graves Museum of Art and all proceeds from the raffle go to benefit the many programs of the Humboldt Arts Council, including the Morris Graves Museum of Art. Each Quarterly Raffle will be held during First Saturday Night Arts Alive! in April, July, October and December.

Join us throughout the year for exciting exhibitions featuring well-known local artists as well as exhibitions from across the county, and at Third Sunday Jazz Jams at the Morris Graves Museum of Art.

Be a part of the arts this year and celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the Humboldt Arts Council!

My paintings are inspired by nature; from the beauty of a flower or landscape, to the power and majesty of a rock formation or the charm and mystery of a cat. My studio is open by appointment.

Lifelines: I am exploring our humanity in simplified form and line through studying the face. Glass carving reveals the subtle differences in our faces while etching illuminates the similar.
Through this process I merge the complexities we experience as both individuals and global members of society.

Landscapes, flowers, animals and birds are subjects that grasp my interest. Using vibrant and intense watercolors as my medium, I enjoy capturing a moment in time.

Finding a landscape or image of nature in a stone is one of my greatest joys. I create pendants from natural stone by hand gathering, cutting, polishing and framing them in silver or gold wire. I especially like working with American Picture Jasper and Agates. I then bead them into necklaces with matching earrings.

By exploring flowers with my camera, I’m able to capture a portion of nature that very few people ever see. The lines and shapes of flowers are endlessly fascinating.

He is right, and only he knows it and can judge it ultimately. From moment to moment, like a compass whose magnetic north is shifting because it is about the journey, not the destination. The authenticity of each decision. Viewing the journey can become one’s own journey.

Artwork has the wonderful ability to convey our human emotions while enriching our daily experience.  In recognizing this, I am inspired to create as a means of exploration. This ground of exploration is a  space between the ordinary, repetitiveness of daily routines and  moments when we experience something unexpected and beautiful.
