    Proceeds from Dot Bovarney’s book will support Art from the Ashes, a Redwood Valley Healing Mosaic  Historian Dot Brovarney has been involved in the cultural arts in Mendocino County since 1989. She works as an author and publisher through her business, Landcestry. Dot has an extensive curatorial background at the Mendocino County Museum and Grace Hudson Museum. Her exhibits include A Passion for Plants & Place: Carl Purdy of Mendocino County; Edward S. Curtis and the Hudsons: Creating the Arts & Crafts Indian; and Remember Your Relations: The Elsie Allen Baskets, Family, and Friends. Among her publications are The Sweet Life: Cherry Stories from Butler Ranch and Remember Your Relations, based in part, on her oral histories with Pomo elders. Currently, she is writing a book about Lake Leonard and Reeves Canyon in the upper Russian River watershed. When Brovarney heard about Art from the Ashes — a healing mosaic project led by Elizabeth Raybee and Nori Dolan — she was inspired to help. Art from the Ashes is a community-built mosaic scheduled to be installed at the Redwood Valley Grange in October; the one-year anniversary of the Redwood Fire. Wishing to add some sweetness to collective fire-healing (and just in time for cherry season) Brovarney is offering half of the profits from her book, The Sweet Life: Stories from Butler Ranch to support of the project. Below are some pictures from the Butler Ranch. “The stories in The Sweet Life are really all about community,” says publisher Dot Brovarney. “The book’s storytellers convey the communal spirit that the Butlers created through their annual cherry harvest. This mosaic project, too, offers an opportunity for gathering together, and sharing an enriching community experience.” The book is available at Mendocino Book Company, Gallery Bookshop and Braggadoon on the Coast, Grace Hudson Museum, Mendocino Optical, Bona Marketplace, and Westside Renaissance Market in Ukiah. For more information, call 272-8305.

    The common thread present in all of my paintings is playfulness. By engaging the viewer to interact with my paintings, I put them back in touch with a childlike frame of mind. I have developed three styles of interactive kinetic paintings. In the first style, the image seems to be in motion but the movement is in the viewer’s mind. The work is in relief but is painted to appear like a conventional flat picture.     Tintin & l’Affaire de l’Orbe Pourpre – 3D Reverse perspective – acrylic on wood – 40.25×24.25×6 inches vimeo.com/241112870   In the second style, the viewer can manipulate the image into a myriad of possibilities. The Empire 3D acrylic on wood panels 50×50 inches   In the third style, the image changes depending on your position to the painting. The experience is ever changing relative to the angle from which the paintings are viewed . Viewers are able to create their own experience by directing how they wish to see the image morph into another. This active participation provokes a playful complicity between the artwork and the viewer. The King & The Duke – kinetic painting – acrylic on wood- 22 x 37 inches   I place cultural icons and other elements of contemporary popular culture into a new context to illustrate thought provoking social, political or cultural issues. Le Dejeuner revisited – Kinetic painting – acrylic on wood – 36×44 inches My goal is to provoke an element of surprise and playfulness.

A freelance graphic artist for businesses and corporations, I have designed movie sets and costumes and illustrated children’s books. I make use of my previous experience in different art forms to develop optical illusion paintings. Previous Achievements A performing musician on three continents, I have written movie soundtracks in France and in the USA. A nominated screenplay writer in America, I have gathered thirteen US movie awards as a movie director and producer. Music: I have performed as a singer/song writer in Europe and Africa and worked as a music producer, writing jingles and film scores in Europe and America and creating Dedicace, a conceptual album reuniting internationally known musicians from four continents. Cult film director Alejandro Jodorowsky used Dedicace extensively in his film Tusk. Film: I wrote, directed and produced The Book, a kitsch science fiction feature film (Invasion Of The Body Snatchers meets Flash Gordon) that pays homage to the sci-fi classics of the 70s and 80s. Official Selection in festivals in America, Australia and Asia, The Book won 13 awards and was hailed as “cult material” by critics and festival audiences.       Watch the trailer and selected scenes from my film The Book Short morphing video created for The Book   https://www.facebook.com/richard.weiss.942
