Feeling Gratitude for Being Here

Feeling blessed. Grateful for living in the beautiful woods, with the fog drifting over the vineyards as darkness falls. Such beauty! You are all in my heart this holiday, may everyone experience peace, warmth, and gratitude for what is wonderful and good in your lives.

Folks who lost their home are starting to trickle into the SoulCentric Painting class. I've extended the free class offer to those who lost their home in the October fire, through December. Its what I can do to give back to our community, for those who are dealing with great challenges finding a sense of stability right now, this group of wonderful painters can be a touchstone to supportive community. For everyone who was affected by the fires, its sliding scale, $5-40. Love to have you in! 

The first weekend of December is the Basement Art Sale, trying to clear out my storage, not that I have a basement - haha, but I like the psychological shadow reference, to clearing out my past, to make room for new things... I lost my studio a year and a half ago and then my home 8 months ago, so holding on to things takes energy (and money), and I have not yet materialized a new studio.  I'd rather have people enjoy the work than storing it, so I'm putting it on sale 50% off, or make an offer. Some things may be silent auction, I'll list them in the Facebook event page.

Seize this opportunity if you've been admiring my work. I'll have sculptures, photography, and paintings. If its not raining, I'll even have the Pegasus up for auction.

I hope you can make it! If nothing else, come say 'hi' and have some tea. A portion of the proceeds go to local artists who lost their studios, to help them get back on their feet. Making this a pretty great stop for holiday shopping! 
 

    

Basement Art Sale! 
December 2 & 3

All of Mardi Storm and Peggy Miller's art pieces are at the extra special price of 50% off everything! Beautify your home - find something that resonates with you NOW - I'm a big fan of putting art on rotation to match our changing moods!  A portion of the proceeds will go to help local artists who lost their homes in the fire.

Mardi Storm's work: "I love bridging the worlds. I work in multiple mediums – painting, sculpture, photography. I feed the flames of soul's longing and whimsy, creating from a deep connection to archetypes, mythology, and other realms. I have a deep interest in the exploration of dreams and the spirit world; this is my daily life."

I'll have photography, window assemblages from the historic Leesville hotel (up by Wilbur); small wall sculptures; oil paintings from way back. Sneak peek: www.mardistorm.com




Peggy Millar's paintings "This work is a biography of dance, of friends, and of family and it incorporates gestures in paint, collage, paper, color and pattern, enacting the many surfaces of life and the way they’re enriched with different materials. I believe in an art that is not trying to get anything from you, not trying to convince you of anything or make you think in a certain way. I believe in an art that says Yes to life, including some of its embellishments. And presents my own vision of the truth – its beauty and fear, its love and its pain." www.peggy-millar-art.com




Hope to see you!!
