Sacramento Artist Linda Nunes to Demonstrate at October ACAA Meeting - Wed Oct 9
Sacramento Artist Linda Nunes to Demonstrate in October
Encaustic and Mixed Media artist Linda Nunes will be the demonstrator on Wednesday, October 9th, following the general
meeting that starts at 7pm. Linda has had extensive solo and group exhibitions throughout Northern California, and has even had her work installed on trains in the Sacramento Muni system. She studied Studio Art at
California State University Sacramento and now holds classes and workshops of her own, as well as being a
board member of the Sierra Wax Artists. See more of Linda’s art on her website lnunesart.com.
October at Sutter Creek Gallery: Leanne Kelly
Many artists are influenced at a young age and Leanne Kelly is no
exception. Raised on the Onondaga reservation by her mother who worked in many
mediums, including sewing, beading and basket weaving, Kelly learned the skills
that she now includes in her work. Early
on she began drawing and working with colored pencils, creating drawings of
wildlife, botanicals and portraits of French mastiffs, later showing and breeding
the dogs. In time she discovered gourds and began applying the skills she previously
learned to create pieces ornamented with drawing, carving, wood burning, dying,
bead inlay and basket weaving. Combining art with gourds she has found provides
endless possibilities.
Kelly’s love of plants and nature was fostered by her mother, a
naturalist and avid gardener. The
artist’s pieces reflect this and show up in her other creative outlet, growing
and propagating cactus and succulents. Kelly owns a small nursery and
hybridizes brightly colored flowering cactus and cold hardy succulents. The
plants she grows are inspirations for her art and are truly art themselves. In addition to her gourds, necklaces and
colored pencil drawings, Kelly will display many of her cacti and enjoys
discussing the plants and their properties.
Come meet Leanne Kelly at
her reception on Saturday, October 5, beginning at 2 p.m. She is one of the many local artists exhibiting at
the cooperative located in the heart of Sutter Creek at 35 Main Street. Besides
original paintings and photography, the gallery offers numerous affordable
items including prints, cards, jewelry, pottery, as well as gourd, glass and
fiber arts. Framing and layaway services
are also available.
The gallery is open Sunday,
Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Friday and Saturday from
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For additional
information, call 209-267-0228, email suttercreekgallery@gmail.com

October at Gallery 10: Sketch Artist Cathleen Berglund
Cathleen Berglund is the guest artist at Gallery 10, Sutter Creek, for October, 2019.
Cathleen
thinks that she may have been carrying a sketch book and pen when she was born
because she has rarely been without them for seven decades. She has filled
dozens of sketch books and painted hundreds of uniquely recognizable works.
She
studied art primarily with the renowned Maurice Lapp, to whom she owes
her pronounced sense of color and balance. She has been a featured artist in shows
locally, in Sonoma County, and in Washington State. Twenty five years ago, she joined with fellow
artists to form Gallery 10 in Sutter Creek where she will be the featured
artist in October. She has painted several new pieces expressly for this
show.
Cathleen
sketches what catches her eye, and if she likes the sketch, it usually becomes
a painting: laundry dancing on the line,
sleeping cats, a book left open on a chair, or a simple landscape. Interiors
with untold stories are favorite subjects. She has published two small books featuring
her Coyote poems, and has printed some
of her favorite paintings as greeting cards.
A reception will be held in her honor on Saturday, October 5, 2-5 P.M. All are welcome! For more information, visit Gallery 10's web site at: www.gallery10.org
