The Big News… A new Art studio! Yes, I have moved into a different space, mainly to maneuver the larger paintings. The studio is still at our home as well as our in-house Art Gallery, but is now located through the second gate entrance off Spring Road in a separate building. I look forward to sharing my new Art space.

I’ll have demonstrations on processing and mixing minerals and ochres into paints, preparing wood canvasses, and painting. New works are in the Gallery.

Please come join the fun, enjoy Art, meet new artists and visit some regulars.

In Joy, Jennifer

More Workshops! More Art!

I LOVE to share my processes and I ENJOY seeing how others make them their own!

Mark your calendars! 

New workshop at Piper J Gallery, Sunday April 28, 11 am until 3:30 pm

I’ll take you through step-by-step to create a painting of your own. You will engage in learning to collect and process minerals into paints using different binders.  You will design a composition onto a wood surface covered with handmade papers. All materials are supplied, but you are welcome to bring any special brushes you would like to use, small jars for paints, and any up-cycled papers you may want to try. Bring a lunch and drinks.

Martis Camp in Truckee is hosting a Mineral Paints workshop in July so the residents can gain knowledge of painting with natural minerals and creating an eco-friendly Art studio space. I look forward to these events and hope to be able to do more. July 15, 2024 10 am -all day.

September brings new Art to Piper J Gallery! They are hosting a Sculpture exhibition with my clay sculptures. This will be a display inspired by nature and the ancient cave dwellers with a contemporary twist. Pictographs and signs of the ancients are also integrated into these works.

Come enter the domain of the Deer People. Opening Reception September 7, 2024 5-7 pm at the Piper J Gallery: 10250 Donnor Pass Rd. Truckee, CA.
