    Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Painting
    I began in the mid-1970s doing watercolor paintings of landscapes. I love people, so it was not long before I began doing portraits in watercolor also. In the mid-1980s, I moved to Hawaii with my husband Jim, and there started painting in the bright colors I saw in my subjects every day. This continued when I focused more on oil impressionist painting as I moved to the Mendocino Coast in 1992. I moved around Northern California as my husband relocated for his work, but he retired in 2016 and we returned to the Mendocino Coast, which we love. I presently show in the Highlight Gallery in Mendocino.

    Visual Arts: Ceramics, Painting
    I am primarily a painter but enjoy dabbling in ceramics, especially clay sculpture.  I specialize in portraits of people and pets in oil or pastel though I also enjoy doing landscapes and still life painting. My training in drawing has given me skills that I use in every medium. See more on Susan Blackwelder’s Corner Gallery web page.

    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.

    Doug Browe, Potter, Ceramic Artist and Sculptor My work focuses on history, problem solving, and relationships. Humankind both anthropomorphizes vessels, to the point of manifesting them with power as if surrogate humans; and employs them as metaphors for humans and manifests them in architectural form, they become a protected sanctuary of containment. It excites me to be part of this connection and help move this timeless conversation forward. From the dawn of civilization humans have had a relationship with vessels; we have from the beginning, anthropomorphized them, manifesting in them the power and honor of being surrogate humans. In turn we use them to mimic our many archetypes. My intrigue of this relationship between humans and the vessel moves my work. Currently, I lead the Ceramics and Sculpture Department at Mendocino College in Ukiah CA and have a studio practice making utilitarian ceramics and sculpture in Elk CA. “I am intrigued by the relationship between the vessel, architectural form and the human figure, that place where the human figure finds form in vessels and architecture and architecture and vessels  finds form in figuration. I use these narratives to express a variety of personal and social issues in my work”.

    My name is Sabine Brunner. I am a ceramic artist and mom of 2 toddlers (Luka is 6 and Logan is 4 years old). I studied Graphic Design in Aachen/Germany and for my master thesis I designed a tableware with the whole alphabet from A-Z written in calligraphy. After moving to California in 1996, I started doing Ceramics and became a Ceramic Artist. I love giving my ceramic pieces a whimsical feel. In 2015 my family moved to Little River, CA next to Mendocino from the San Francisco Bay Area. We are living our dream of a rural life with lots of space and many animals. We currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 4 goats and 9 chickens. More to come… My work has been influenced by living our dream farm life. I am creating whimsical dishes with lots of different, colorful designs on it. My new studio is also housing an antique Pearl Golding Letterpress. You can come and print your own cards on my Adana 8×5 or take a class. My studio is located in Fort Bragg, California. Come and visit me if you are in the area and take a class in ceramics or printing! 223 East Redwood Ave., Fort Bragg, CA 95437
