It's that time of year again, Sedona is calling! Join me in my favorite place on the planet, we still have a couple of spots left for my December Workshop Weekend at the lovely Sedona Art Center, located right in Uptown.
Sedona, AZ is one of the most beautiful places on earth. If you have never been to Sedona, you are in for a treat. The amazing 360ยบ views of red rocks will take your breath away. There are plenty hiking and walking trails among the rocks as well. There are still slots left in this class!
The Sedona Arts Center (above) offers workshops and classes in every medium and is located in the heart of this art community. They feature a gallery of student work where you can see some fantastic samples of what folks are creating in class.
You will also enjoy art abounding in a number of galleries and shops such as the LARK art gallery pictured above. They carry some of my Paper Paintings animal collages and are located in the Hozho Center. There will be an opening reception at LARK gallery I'll be there sipping wine and visiting with fans of my collage art and whimsical animal art, which Lark is known for.
The last time I was in Sedona, I took an art tour of three working artists studios with Tatia Flick (above) and I have to say that it was a fantastic way to spend the day! Tatia is an amazing host and she drives you around to the artists studios, giving you a view of Sedona neighborhoods and back roads. She also does shopping tours! What could be better. ? Tatia is a sweetheart, you will love spending the day with her.
About 45 min from Sedona is Jerome, an amazing old mining town that is now a plethora of art galleries and unique shops and restaurants that wind their way straight up a mountain! If you have time, it's a great day trip!
We took the kids to Slide Rock State Park in Oak Creek Canyon and went in slipping down the rock water slide! It was tons of fun and would make a great half day in addition to your Paper Paintings collage workshop at the Arts Center!
This summer I had the amazing opportunity to cruise the Mediterranean with the entire extended Nelson Family. We took in some amazing art, architecture, and 3000+ years of history. Our journey will be in day-by-day blog entries. Kusadasi, Turkey offered the house of the Virgin Mary, The ancient city of Ephesus, and the Basilica of St. John
This summer I had the amazing opportunity to cruise the Mediterranean with the entire extended Nelson Family. We took in some amazing art, architecture, and 3000+ years of history. Our journey will be in day-by-day blog entries. Athens offered the Acropolis Museum, a hike up 80 stairs to the Acropolis, and the Parthenon.
Several months ago I entered the Hudson Valley Seed Library packet contest, along with over 400 other artists. They narrowed it down to 16, and I was assigned the Radiant Radish Mix!
The art was under wraps, we couldn't talk about it until the pack designs were unveiled and the cover competition was at hand. You can now view and vote for my packet to be the cover of the catalogue on their website.
My radish pack, top left vote for #1
The original artwork for all 16 "Art of the Heirloom" packets is set for November 8th at the New York Botanic Gardens. The show will stay at NYBG through January and then continue to travel to other venues.
Starting this week, the Hudson Valley Seed Library Blog will feature posts about each artist and their completed Art Pack. there are also Fine Art Prints available of the art from the packs.
What a wonderful project to be a part of. My Dad loves radishes and grew them in our yard when I was a kid. I'll have to get him some seeds for next summer!
