The business end of art is another form of creation.
Lucrecia Waggoner's Porcelain Installations Elevate Traditional Ceramics
There is a calming sense of tranquility in the gallery.
Porcelain artist Lucrecia Waggoner's
dynamic installations, combining nature and porcelain,
elevate traditional ceramics to a new level,
as these installations float across the wall.
Beautifully finished wood limbs,
and delicate arrangements of porcelain shapes,
glazed and decorated with 22 K gold leaf
and other precious metals,
palladium, copper and sterling silver.
The sophistication of arrangements
and a new freedom of space,
creates a delicate and flowing energy.
Lucrecia Waggoner's work is beauty and art
at it's finest
and shows us another way
to "Live Creatively"
Til Next Time,

Claudia Meyer, The Perfect Blend of Sculpture and Painting
Fragments
The work of Claudia Meyer is a true hybrid of sculpture and painting.
She bridges these two concepts masterfully.
Her elegant, mostly abstract works, made from
wood, plexiglas, stainless steel, acrylic paint,
precious stones and sand.
The have a feminine quality and a fluid movement.
There is nothing else like this.
There are elements of nature, light space, matter and dimension.
You can follow the artist’s hand
through her reverse painting and surface painting.
The gallery is alive with Claudia's dialog,
a myriad of colors, transparency and shapes.
By lighting the work from behind, another element of
dimensionality is created.
This work draws you in with the layers and textures.
Claudia is Swiss, has lived and studied in New York and
various parts of Europe, lives in Paris.
and exhibits her works in Europe, Japan and the U.S.
Claudia Meyer's "Lights Quintessence"
will be on Exhibit thru March 12

Lynn Goldsmith "ART IS WORK"
Snow Queens
Aspen has given me the opportunity to know Lynn
for so many years and I have been
amazed and impressed by her work and creative path.
The gallery has given me a chance to really get to know her depth of work.
"The Looking Glass" has always intrigued me.
The work conveys a purposeful message, exploring beauty, gender,
and the nature of identity.
Fantasy and reality mix freely in these compositions.
Lynn transforms her identity in these very, thought provoking photographs.
They have a rich palette, layers of symbolism, and they draw you in.
I see new things in each piece as I sit in the gallery and have the time to reflect.
Lynn is an artist who has been at the forefront of performance art with her aka Will Powers
while also being an award winning portrait photographer
whose work has appeared on covers of magazines such as Rolling Stone,
Life, Time, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, and Interview, to name a few.
Her videos and photography are in the permanent collections of MOMA,
The Smithsonian, The Polaroid Collection, The Kodak Collection,
The Chicago Museum of Contemporary Photography,
The Sir Elton John Collection as well as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Lynn's accolades go on and on.
I will leave you with her quote that is inspiring
and resonates with me as an artist.
“Creativity is based on breaking limiting thought patterns,
busting through fear, taking risks,
and persistently working hard toward your goals,
if the individual wants to maximize their potential for a full life.”

Changing Lives, One Scarf at a Time.
Handcrafted from Kyrgyzstan
The global movement to connect artists from the developing world
to worldwide customers contributes to a sustainable way of life.
Aidai Asangulova makes one of a kind textiles
by fusing felt and hand woven silk.
There is no stitching in her textiles: the threads of silk and wool
are joined by using a seamless hand-rolling technique.
Aidai's work also exemplifies a cross-cultural fusion,
combining the felt-making traditions of Kyrgyz nomads
with the silk-making traditions of the settled Uzbek people.
She has worked to recreate forgotten techniques.
She trains village women to make traditional,
but sophisticated products
It means joining a global partnership of people
who believe in one world,
the power of women working together
and the inspiration of beautiful things.
These one-of-a-kind, exquisite textiles,are unique
and will elevate your your style.
There is more joy when purchasing
something handcrafted,
with a story.
