Mark Makers Exhibit

Hello Everyone!  

It's been a while since I've visited you here...thanks so very much for your positive comments on my Facebook and Instagram posts.

If you haven't caught my posts you might not know I have a new home and studio.  We've moved from Montana to my family home in Cashmere, Washington where I am the 4th generation to live and draw inspiration from the land.  Prior to the HUGE move, we renovated a smaller home on the farm for my Dad.  He says "its just like living in a brand new house".  My very talented husband, Don, also built him a gallery space (17' x 30') for his collection of magic. Dad has raised pears and preformed magic the majority of his life and although he no longer preforms on stage, he continues to build magic apparatus for collectors and magicians all over the world. 

Creativity runs in this family.....

Yes,"Peter rabbit" was part of the show....

OK, the last number of months, a year plus, have been crazy busy. But I've still managed to paint and be inspired by the landscape around me. No matter the season, the beauty in nature is amazing!  I have been painting for a special event...

Contemporary Botanical Art by Sheri Trepina

Winters in my studio are usually a focused effort on painting new works, its peaceful with snowy views from the Kalispell studio.  I also experiment and try different techniques that I scribbled in my notebook during the busy summer months.  

But this winter, has been bigger than most.... 

Yes! I have been painting and have several new art works with beautiful juicy colours, I'm so excited to roll these out in the coming months. 

  

I'm also enjoyed doing an interview for "Colors on Your Palette" (click link) and was pleasantly surprised to have a feature catalog post by Xanadu Gallery, Scottsdale AZ. 

(View the Xanadu catalog and my Art HERE)

Lastly, and oh, so important, I continue to paint with several artists here in the Flathead Valley. Our artistic voices are different but we all have a love of the arts, and are inspired by nature. Its a time to learn and support one another.....more on these amazing artists in another post...... 

So, busy is a good good thing!

Studio "In Progress"

So many things to do, places to go, and Art to See!

I am burning through my summer, literately and well...it's just flying by again.  As I've gotten older I so appreciate the opportunity to spend time with my friends, painting, enjoying a meal or coffee and the opportunity to meet new folks, see new art and ideas...all wonderful!  Also, I'm simply enjoying the unique landscape of where we live and of our travels.  So much beauty out there, its huge on the inspiration meter. 

If you're in my area, Kalispell MT or Cashmere WA, please give me a call, stop by my studio and see what I have on the art table.....I usually have a bit of story to go with my pieces.
