the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

wine savorysweetspirited

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

ldquoAlthough we hated to see Joshrsquos coffeeshop go the opening seemed like a great opportunity to further indulge our love of wine and of pairing foods to accentuate each winersquos lsquoliquid as-setslsquordquo according to co-owner Wertz The couple along with third partner Jim Hughes have been thrilled at the response Brick amp Fire customers have had not only to their food but also to the 25-plus wines-by-the-glass list at the restaurant They wanted to offer a more extensive list including more higher-end offerings and to play with wine amp food pairings 2 Doors Down offers a list of nearly 80 options as well as a savory menu of small plates and appetizers including cured and smoked meats olives pickles and the like all house-made by Brick and Fire There are also fondues soups and a decadent dessert list featuring pastries chocolate truffles ice creams and cakes also made in-house

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

Demitri Mitsanas Mythographic DialoguesJan 19 through March 4

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

the tragicomic characters of the Greek myths and how they appear to us in contemporary society illogical irrational and paradoxical Mitsanas was born in Tripoli Greece He is an emeritus professor of art at Humboldt State University and has exhibited extensively locally nationally and internationally Exhibition Sponsored by Philip amp Sally Arnot

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

MAY 2012The Humboldt School of Landscape PaintingMay 3 through June 24

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

The rich acoustics in the room make it a perfect venue for live music introducing Sewell Gal-lery as part of the Humboldt music scene Every third Thursday of the month Sewell Gallery hosts a variety of talented musicians as well as events of cultural interest featuring local artists present-ing and discussing what inspires them Check the website for current information

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

wine savorysweetspirited

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

the tragicomic characters of the Greek myths and how they appear to us in contemporary society illogical irrational and paradoxical Mitsanas was born in Tripoli Greece He is an emeritus professor of art at Humboldt State University and has exhibited extensively locally nationally and internationally Exhibition Sponsored by Philip amp Sally Arnot

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

ldquoAlthough we hated to see Joshrsquos coffeeshop go the opening seemed like a great opportunity to further indulge our love of wine and of pairing foods to accentuate each winersquos lsquoliquid as-setslsquordquo according to co-owner Wertz The couple along with third partner Jim Hughes have been thrilled at the response Brick amp Fire customers have had not only to their food but also to the 25-plus wines-by-the-glass list at the restaurant They wanted to offer a more extensive list including more higher-end offerings and to play with wine amp food pairings 2 Doors Down offers a list of nearly 80 options as well as a savory menu of small plates and appetizers including cured and smoked meats olives pickles and the like all house-made by Brick and Fire There are also fondues soups and a decadent dessert list featuring pastries chocolate truffles ice creams and cakes also made in-house

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

the tragicomic characters of the Greek myths and how they appear to us in contemporary society illogical irrational and paradoxical Mitsanas was born in Tripoli Greece He is an emeritus professor of art at Humboldt State University and has exhibited extensively locally nationally and internationally Exhibition Sponsored by Philip amp Sally Arnot

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

MAY 2012The Humboldt School of Landscape PaintingMay 3 through June 24

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

wine savorysweetspirited

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

ldquoAlthough we hated to see Joshrsquos coffeeshop go the opening seemed like a great opportunity to further indulge our love of wine and of pairing foods to accentuate each winersquos lsquoliquid as-setslsquordquo according to co-owner Wertz The couple along with third partner Jim Hughes have been thrilled at the response Brick amp Fire customers have had not only to their food but also to the 25-plus wines-by-the-glass list at the restaurant They wanted to offer a more extensive list including more higher-end offerings and to play with wine amp food pairings 2 Doors Down offers a list of nearly 80 options as well as a savory menu of small plates and appetizers including cured and smoked meats olives pickles and the like all house-made by Brick and Fire There are also fondues soups and a decadent dessert list featuring pastries chocolate truffles ice creams and cakes also made in-house

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

wine savorysweetspirited

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

ldquoAlthough we hated to see Joshrsquos coffeeshop go the opening seemed like a great opportunity to further indulge our love of wine and of pairing foods to accentuate each winersquos lsquoliquid as-setslsquordquo according to co-owner Wertz The couple along with third partner Jim Hughes have been thrilled at the response Brick amp Fire customers have had not only to their food but also to the 25-plus wines-by-the-glass list at the restaurant They wanted to offer a more extensive list including more higher-end offerings and to play with wine amp food pairings 2 Doors Down offers a list of nearly 80 options as well as a savory menu of small plates and appetizers including cured and smoked meats olives pickles and the like all house-made by Brick and Fire There are also fondues soups and a decadent dessert list featuring pastries chocolate truffles ice creams and cakes also made in-house

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

wine savorysweetspirited

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

ldquoAlthough we hated to see Joshrsquos coffeeshop go the opening seemed like a great opportunity to further indulge our love of wine and of pairing foods to accentuate each winersquos lsquoliquid as-setslsquordquo according to co-owner Wertz The couple along with third partner Jim Hughes have been thrilled at the response Brick amp Fire customers have had not only to their food but also to the 25-plus wines-by-the-glass list at the restaurant They wanted to offer a more extensive list including more higher-end offerings and to play with wine amp food pairings 2 Doors Down offers a list of nearly 80 options as well as a savory menu of small plates and appetizers including cured and smoked meats olives pickles and the like all house-made by Brick and Fire There are also fondues soups and a decadent dessert list featuring pastries chocolate truffles ice creams and cakes also made in-house

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

wine savorysweetspirited

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

ldquoAlthough we hated to see Joshrsquos coffeeshop go the opening seemed like a great opportunity to further indulge our love of wine and of pairing foods to accentuate each winersquos lsquoliquid as-setslsquordquo according to co-owner Wertz The couple along with third partner Jim Hughes have been thrilled at the response Brick amp Fire customers have had not only to their food but also to the 25-plus wines-by-the-glass list at the restaurant They wanted to offer a more extensive list including more higher-end offerings and to play with wine amp food pairings 2 Doors Down offers a list of nearly 80 options as well as a savory menu of small plates and appetizers including cured and smoked meats olives pickles and the like all house-made by Brick and Fire There are also fondues soups and a decadent dessert list featuring pastries chocolate truffles ice creams and cakes also made in-house

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

the tragicomic characters of the Greek myths and how they appear to us in contemporary society illogical irrational and paradoxical Mitsanas was born in Tripoli Greece He is an emeritus professor of art at Humboldt State University and has exhibited extensively locally nationally and internationally Exhibition Sponsored by Philip amp Sally Arnot

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

MAY 2012The Humboldt School of Landscape PaintingMay 3 through June 24

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

Demitri Mitsanas Mythographic DialoguesJan 19 through March 4

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

the tragicomic characters of the Greek myths and how they appear to us in contemporary society illogical irrational and paradoxical Mitsanas was born in Tripoli Greece He is an emeritus professor of art at Humboldt State University and has exhibited extensively locally nationally and internationally Exhibition Sponsored by Philip amp Sally Arnot

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

wine savorysweetspirited

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

Demitri Mitsanas Mythographic DialoguesJan 19 through March 4

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

the tragicomic characters of the Greek myths and how they appear to us in contemporary society illogical irrational and paradoxical Mitsanas was born in Tripoli Greece He is an emeritus professor of art at Humboldt State University and has exhibited extensively locally nationally and internationally Exhibition Sponsored by Philip amp Sally Arnot

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

Peter Holbrook Colorado PlateauAug 3 through Sept 9

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

wine savorysweetspirited

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

Demitri Mitsanas Mythographic DialoguesJan 19 through March 4

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

Demitri Mitsanas Mythographic DialoguesJan 19 through March 4

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

the tragicomic characters of the Greek myths and how they appear to us in contemporary society illogical irrational and paradoxical Mitsanas was born in Tripoli Greece He is an emeritus professor of art at Humboldt State University and has exhibited extensively locally nationally and internationally Exhibition Sponsored by Philip amp Sally Arnot

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

wine savorysweetspirited

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

the art of healing

As St Joseph Hospital prepares to open its new northeast tower to patients in the spring we recognize and appreciate

the great contributions our many local artists give to making the North Coast such a diverse informed and exciting place

to live We have filled our new hallways waiting rooms and lobbies with works of art from many local artists so that we

may all enjoy the beauty and reap the healing benefits associated with being surrounded by wonderful artwork

Scientific studies tell us that art heals by changing a personrsquos physiology and attitude The bodyrsquos physiology changes

from one of stress to one of deep relaxation from one of fear to one of creativity and inspiration Art and music affect

every cell in the body instantly to create a healing physiology that changes the immune system and blood flow to all the

organs They create hope and positivity and they help people cope with difficulties They transform a personrsquos outlook

and way of being in the world

The art of healing at St Joseph Hospital - from the art on our walls to our new state-of-the-art medical facility - we

are committed to providing safe high quality care to our community

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

the tragicomic characters of the Greek myths and how they appear to us in contemporary society illogical irrational and paradoxical Mitsanas was born in Tripoli Greece He is an emeritus professor of art at Humboldt State University and has exhibited extensively locally nationally and internationally Exhibition Sponsored by Philip amp Sally Arnot

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

wine savorysweetspirited

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

ldquoAlthough we hated to see Joshrsquos coffeeshop go the opening seemed like a great opportunity to further indulge our love of wine and of pairing foods to accentuate each winersquos lsquoliquid as-setslsquordquo according to co-owner Wertz The couple along with third partner Jim Hughes have been thrilled at the response Brick amp Fire customers have had not only to their food but also to the 25-plus wines-by-the-glass list at the restaurant They wanted to offer a more extensive list including more higher-end offerings and to play with wine amp food pairings 2 Doors Down offers a list of nearly 80 options as well as a savory menu of small plates and appetizers including cured and smoked meats olives pickles and the like all house-made by Brick and Fire There are also fondues soups and a decadent dessert list featuring pastries chocolate truffles ice creams and cakes also made in-house

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

Demitri Mitsanas Mythographic DialoguesJan 19 through March 4

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

MAY 2012The Humboldt School of Landscape PaintingMay 3 through June 24

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

wine savorysweetspirited

Just two doors down from Brick amp Fire Bistro yoursquoll now be welcomed into a cozy little corner for wine sipping savory small plates

and delicious desserts and espresso Appropri-ately named ldquo2 Doors Downrdquo is housed in the former World Cup coffee shop spot at the end of the F Street building that has housed Brick and Fire since 2010 The tiny spot has undergone a complete makeover reflecting the warm and welcoming charm of Brick amp Fire with the feel of an intimate European wine bar The walls of 2 Doors Down hold wine memorabilia and pho-tos of Italian sights most of which were taken years back by husband and wife team and co-owners Kim Wertz and Greg Galardy After the couple had completed the bulk of the transformation to the space one of their employeersquos com-mented that the place was ldquolike Brick amp Firersquos sexy little sisterrdquo

ldquoOur wine list is quirky and fun as well as being serious about the art of winemakingrdquo explains Galardy The wine descriptions much like the list at Brick amp Fire will amuse and entertain as well as help you make selections from the extensive list Each week different featured wines are offered by the glass taste or flight and 2 Doors Down offers to pour any wine on the list when a customer is purchasing two glasses of that bottle Most wines are available to-go from their well-stocked wine collection

ldquo2 Doors Down is here to make wine something to be ex-plored without pretension to provide plates to be paired and shared and to create a warm and spirited ambience in which to enjoy it allrdquo said Wertz ldquoWersquore hoping folks enjoy it as much as we all arerdquo

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

the tragicomic characters of the Greek myths and how they appear to us in contemporary society illogical irrational and paradoxical Mitsanas was born in Tripoli Greece He is an emeritus professor of art at Humboldt State University and has exhibited extensively locally nationally and internationally Exhibition Sponsored by Philip amp Sally Arnot

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

MAY 2012The Humboldt School of Landscape PaintingMay 3 through June 24

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

MAY 2012The Humboldt School of Landscape PaintingMay 3 through June 24

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

Demitri Mitsanas Mythographic DialoguesJan 19 through March 4

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

the tragicomic characters of the Greek myths and how they appear to us in contemporary society illogical irrational and paradoxical Mitsanas was born in Tripoli Greece He is an emeritus professor of art at Humboldt State University and has exhibited extensively locally nationally and internationally Exhibition Sponsored by Philip amp Sally Arnot

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

Peter Holbrook Colorado PlateauAug 3 through Sept 9

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

MAY 2012The Humboldt School of Landscape PaintingMay 3 through June 24

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

the tragicomic characters of the Greek myths and how they appear to us in contemporary society illogical irrational and paradoxical Mitsanas was born in Tripoli Greece He is an emeritus professor of art at Humboldt State University and has exhibited extensively locally nationally and internationally Exhibition Sponsored by Philip amp Sally Arnot

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

MAY 2012The Humboldt School of Landscape PaintingMay 3 through June 24

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

MAY 2012The Humboldt School of Landscape PaintingMay 3 through June 24

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

In 1997 they won silver medals at Denverrsquos Great American Beer Festival for their Ravensbrau Porter and Brown Porter and the next year returned to take gold medals for their Climax California Classic and American Amber Lager During that time the brewery was working towards its goal

of becoming greener Before the close of the millennia the Eel River Brewing Company released the first USDA Certified Organic beer in the nation ERBrsquos Organic Amber Ale Since then the breweryrsquos line has gone completely organic

Originally located solely in Fortunarsquos Clay Brown Redwood Lumber Mill the company expanded in 2007 to Mill A in Scotia The new facility accommodates ten times the amount of beer brewed in a single year to help meet the growing demand for Eel Riverrsquos award-winning line of organic beers While the brewing has moved upstream the Clay Brown Mill is still home to the Tap Room and Grill ERBrsquos bar and restaurant

Words like ldquoorganicrdquo ldquolocalrdquo and ldquosustainablerdquo have been thrown around a lot in the last few years as the green movements adherents swell but to the Eel River Brewing Company those arenrsquot buzzwords but a creed The Tap Room and Grill features not only their organic lines of beer but also other local organic products like Loleta Cheese and beef from cattle organically raised by ERBrsquos co-founder Ted Vivatson Goods from other local businesses are featured as well like the Ferndale Meat Company Bien Padre and the Humboldt Bay Coffee Company The bar itself is made from re-claimed Redwood and Douglas fir All of this is powered by biomass technology which allows the brewery to generate 100 percent of its power itself by burning green waste products like bark wood and lawn trimmings

The buildings are even recycled Unused lumber mills have been given new life to once again serve as facilities that provide livelihoods for manymdashand the goods define our county

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

Demitri Mitsanas Mythographic DialoguesJan 19 through March 4

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

the tragicomic characters of the Greek myths and how they appear to us in contemporary society illogical irrational and paradoxical Mitsanas was born in Tripoli Greece He is an emeritus professor of art at Humboldt State University and has exhibited extensively locally nationally and internationally Exhibition Sponsored by Philip amp Sally Arnot

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

On the Avenue of the Giants a mile south of the small

town of Miranda Michael Shearer creates and de-signs elegant hand-blown art glass in his outdoor studio When his kilns are fired up you can watch his technique through the glass doors of his studio or comfortably browse the colorful showroom of his creations Vases bowls perfume bottles sculptures paperweights and jewelry adorn shelves and tables demanding admiration Michael cre-ates each new piece of art glass individually using the off-hand or free blown method The process begins by combining and sifting the ingredients sand soda and lime plus several other ingredients After shoveling this batch into two pots in the 2300-degree furnace it is cooked until melted and molten He then gathers the glass on the end of a six-foot-long stainless steel blowpipe Manipulating the orange hot liquid he creates unique layered art glass pieces a truly visual experience

His art glass has been collected and shown in many galleries and internationally since he first began working with this translu-cent molten substance in 1976 From his California studio in Her-mosa Beach and then to Laguna Niguel he showed his work at the Pageant of the Masters Art Show and the Museum of Art in Laguna Beach and many other galleries But the redwoods beckoned and in 1990 he moved the studio and family to Miranda deep in the Avenue of the Giants The redwoods and the ocean keep Michael inspired and encouraged to play with the molten transparent liq-uid His unique organic style embodies simplicity and elegance uti-lizing the illuminant reflective and refractive qualities of glass

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

Demitri Mitsanas Mythographic DialoguesJan 19 through March 4

Over the years Mitsanas has moved through several styles fashions and media in painting However his subjects have always been anthropomorphic or have related to some aspect of the human character or the natural environment Color and light have always been important elements in his art Mitsanas says ldquoIn my opinion color is the heartbeat of paintingrdquo Mitsanas has recently been immersed in a cycle of painting subjects from Greek myths such as ldquoThe Myth of Ariadne Persephone Ikaros and Danae of Argosrdquo Mitsanas nds it intriguing and entertaining

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

MAY 2012The Humboldt School of Landscape PaintingMay 3 through June 24

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

Over the past several decades Humboldt County has nurtured a wealth of contemporary landscape painters A combination of the varied and dramatic local landscape a vibrant art scene centered around Humboldt State University and the e ects of a back-to-the-land ethic have coalesced into a regional school of painting Much of the progress in representational landscape painting here is due to the very organic process of learning from one anothermdashand openly sharing or handing down techniques and insight That is the human ldquoaspectrdquo of the school The inspirational aspect is the place itself All the artists involved share in one way or another the same goalmdashto express their reverence for the natural beauty of the place they have chosen to call home These artists have been painting for years or decades The greater part of each individualrsquos work is the Humboldt County landscape done in a representational manner The Humboldt School of Landscape Painting consists of 18 artists Julia Bednar John Crater Judy Evenson Eric Fidjeland Ken Jarvela Jim McVicker Terry Oates Kathy OrsquoLeary John Palmer Steve Porter Leslie Reid Alan Sanborn Sock Schlueter Randy Spicer Dolores Terry Alicia Treadway George Van Hook and Lisa Marie Waters

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

FEBRUARY 2012Shawn Gould Humboldt Wild (Palette cover)Feb 16 through April 8

The paintings in Humboldt Wild celebrate the scenic beauty and biodiversity of our area From the varied coastline with its majestic redwood forests to the rugged mountains and rivers Humboldt County provides an endless array of possibilities for Gouldrsquos work These paintings represent ten years of exploration of this place that Gould has come to call home Gould saysrdquo Whether hiking the Lost Coast or getting lost among the giants of Redwood National Park I am becoming more familiar with the terrain plants and animals and the varying moods of this place on each outing Of course there was far more to share than 20 paintings would allow but this is a glimpse into my explorations so far My creative process starts outside with a camera and an open mind I love being out in nature slowing down to look at the landscape through the eyes of an artist and my work is an expression of that joy I am always looking for little sparks of inspiration light color pattern something that will then grow and evolve into a full-blown idea for a painting Light transforms everything It can turn an unattractive bramble of decaying blackberry leaves into a kaleidoscope of color or an unremarkable meadow into a mist-shrouded eld of dreams I take photos to capture my inspiration and bring them back to the studio where I then pull the essential elements from di erent snapshots to create a composition rearranging reality to create something new In an attempt to transcend the original experience and speak to something more universal every painting becomes a blend of the real and the imaginary I try to remain faithful to reality but you are getting my version of the truth Next the scene is sketched on the board continually editing and adjusting as I go The foundation or skeleton of every painting is abstract design upon which speci c details are added I use detail contrast and line to move the eye through the composition highlighting important elements and minimizing extraneous information The painting begins with areas of color blocked in loosely over the sketch As it progresses my brushwork becomes more controlled until the nal details bring the scene to life I hope to end up

with a convincing illusion of reality a window into my worldrdquo Shawn began his career in art as an illustrator creating award-winning science and natural history illustrations for clients like National Geographic the Smithsonian Institute and Audubon He also illustrated two childrenrsquos books After about ten years he was able to turn his attention full time to creating his own paintings Shawnrsquos work has received national recognition in Western Art Collector American Artist and Wildlife Art Magazines Exhibition Sponsored by Lewis amp Lucy Quinby

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture

JUNE 2012Mary Ann Nardo Orchid Dreams Wild PlacesJune 14 through July 22

Nature has always been a hotbed of inspiration for Mary Ann Nardo especially the plant world Humankind has had a long relationship with plants both practical and ceremonial as food medicine adornment and vehicles to altered states of consciousness It has been a complicated and charged relationship Historically people have risked their lives and lost their fortunes over the beauty of a owermdashthe taste of a spice Nardo says ldquoTo me the large orchid family contains the most beautifully voluptuous alarming and foreign forms in the plant world Making paintings involves taking a journey where the unfamiliar becomes familiar this series of paintings is no exceptionrdquo Nardo spends much of her time doing research at orchid greenhouses studying each owerrsquos anatomy Nardo says ldquoThrough the internet I travel the world in my imagination and glimpse the diverse places that these owers grow My perspective has been enlarged by concerns of their endangered habitatsmdashhabitats which belong to us all These wild places on earth are like the wild places in the unconscious The direction of these paintings spring from that rich placerdquo Nardo graduated from the Maryland College of Art with a BFA in Painting and Photography

JULY 2012Christine Hodgins Subliminal RealmsJuly 5 through Aug 11

The sculptures and drawings in this body of

work reference both the gure and landscape in an intentionally ambiguous manner meant to bring out individual subconscious associations Three sculptural installations will move the viewer through a staged drama These installations address the breaking point where energy canrsquot be contained and needs to expand outward This happens freely and organically in these sculptural installations Forms and textures emerge that imply a sense of growth and transformation that are not completely controlled by the artistrsquos hand The drawings that accompany the installations parallel the sculptures in scale and intention They similarly address issues of containment and release and the potential for growth Christine Hodgins is a graduate of Sacramento State University and has exhibited extensively throughout the state of California

AUGUST 2012The Gender Series 1990-present Photographs by Alan Dismuke - Aug 2 through Sept 9

The works in this exhibition are drawn from a

20-year archive of self-portraits exploring the duality of the human psyche and the notion of gender identity as a faccedilade The series was begun around 1990 at Dismukersquos studio in Arcata while working at the Humboldt Arts Council Over time it has evolved into a subtle challenge to the gender trouble that continues to antagonize our culture Consider it a series of tableaux vivants to corrupt the binary code of gender in the spirit of Rrose Selavy The photographs reference issues of identity body image vanity illusion and the considerable in uence of advertising and fashion on pop culture Cultural caricatures are portrayed as individuals as couples and as groups all with a wink toward satire In many of the portraits the traditional ldquomale gazerdquo is upended as the subjects in the photographs confront the viewer with their own direct gaze Whorsquos looking at whom Who holds the power In this age of digital imaging and social networking the veracity of what is encountered online or even what is being broadcast as news should be viewed with skepticism With self-image so easily manipulated the viewer can be easily duped by any number of deceptions A Facebook portrait or photographs on a dating site can be far from truthful representations of the person behind the screen Perhaps as in advertising it is deception that lies at the heart of ldquoimage makingrdquo in contemporary culture
