Sarah Krank, a happily retired East high art teacher, is thrilled to be back in her studio painting, painting, painting! Meet Sarah this Friday, Sept 1st, at her artist reception and enjoy the fruits of her labor. She has many lovely and affordable oil paintings for you to enjoy as well a 3 new figurative based pieces. News flash… I broke my mixer last month and had to buy cookies for the August Artwalk. What!! The good news is I have a brand new one and I’m itching to use it. I’ll be whipping up some delicious baked goods and treats for the reception. Don’t miss it! Blue Door Arts will have a whole new show for the July 7th Cheyenne Artwalk.! Tim will be displaying his works with a western flair and Glenda will be adding splashes of bright colors and patterns! There will be an artists' reception where you'll have the opportunity to meet this talented and engaging artistic duo.
Cheyenne artist, Tim Haley will be exhibiting his paintings at Blue Door Arts for the month of June and July. June's show will feature Tim's work that explores many of the social issues we face in today's world. Tim will be switching it up for rodeo month with work inspired by the West.
June's show opens on the 2nd from 5-8pm with an artist's reception and a one-man-band. July's reception will be during the Cheyenne Artwalk on the 7th. Kim Shaver of Laramie WY weaves wonderful baskets from willow she collects on her parent's ranch outside of Centennial WY. Stop in to see the selection.
Blue Door Arts will be showing Georgia Rowswell's textile work inspired by Wyoming's fascinating geology. There will be an artist's reception and special guests for the March 3rd and April 7th Cheyenne First Friday Artwalk. Experience the art and have fun while learning about geology. ROCK OUT!
3 Talented artists will be spreading their love of jewelry making during the February 3rd Cheyenne Artwalk. Even more love will be wafting through the Hynds building on the melodious sounds of Nancy McKenzie and Bill Bailey! Come out and wrap yourself in music, art and love!
Life Ring workshops have been a wonderful way for me and my students to connect with people and stories through textiles. October 7th is the next Cheyenne Artwalk and I will be showing not only my Life Rings but some of my student's Rings as well. I'm looking forward to seeing the Rings again and reconnecting with students. Later in the month are two workshops scheduled at my studio. If the dates, place and times work for you I would love to have you join. The workshop is ALWAYS a special time for students to remember people and places from their past.
If you are a former Life Ring student of mine and would like your Life Ring in the exhibition please contact me at georgia.rowswell@gmail.com The next two First Friday Artwalks will be a fun, eclectic mix of original art and genuine antiques! Enjoy meeting artists' Vanda Edington, Win Ratz and Tracy Duck during two receptions on June 3rd and July 1st. Friday Artwalks are a great time to meet new people, have great conversations, and support local businesses and artists. See you soon!
Susan Grinels is an animal lover. Her Lander WY studio is dedicated to making art and caring for stray cats. She works with local veterinarians to neuter and spade the cats, then uses a portion of her studio building as a recovery and care unit. Susan recently received a Doris Day Foundation Grant to help in her mission to care for Lander's homeless cats and to control the population.
Animal's have been a part of her life since a child, (ask her about how she won a pony and convinced her parents to keep it)! It's no surprise that her depictions of dogs, horses, cows, sheep and more are sensitive and humorous! Blue Door arts will be exhibiting Susan's pastels and collages for the month of April and May. Opening reception will be during the Thursday April 14th Cheyenne Artwalk with a closing reception during the NEW First Friday Cheyenne Artwalk on May 6th. Both receptions are from 5-8pm, other hours by chance or appointment. If no one is working at the studio you can contact Georgia at 229-546-5183. |
