One of the original pieces of public art to be placed in the City of Eureka is The Fisherman, a sculpture on Woodley Island at Humboldt Bay. This Fisherman’s Memorial was created by renowned artist Dick Crane, and sponsored through community donations by the Commercial Fishermen’s Wives of Humboldt. It was dedicated in 1981. Part of Humboldt Arts Council’s permanent collection, they are the caretakers of the statue. Its location and size make it easily seen from the Waterfront Boardwalk in Old Town Eureka. The sculpture commemorates the mariners who have lost their lives at sea, honoring those “whom the sea sustained...and those it claimed.”
The Folk Art of Romano Gabriel by Athena Koumis
The Wooden Sculpture Garden of Romano Gabriel is located at 315 Second St. in Old Town Eureka. Usually you can view this work of art through glass doors, but when the doors are open, a couple times a year during First Saturday Night Arts Alive!, you can truly appreciate the intricate workmanship Gabriel put into each and every piece. photos by Denise Comiskey

t is said that Italian immigrant and folk artist Romano Gabriel once expressed Eureka, California, was “a bad place for flowers.” As a carpenter and gardener with strong connections to his homeland, culture and various social and political issues, Gabriel viewed the front lawn of his home on Pine St. in Eureka with a distinct and unique vision. He saw this traditionally designated space for pleasantries such as flowers as an environment not only serving as a greeting area for the eyes, but also as a space to display art objects exposing the inner workings of his imaginative and personal world. Gabriel found that forgoing a typical social life and living a largely introverted lifestyle as beneficial to his craft, providing him with solitude and concentration for his art making. The resulting three decades of devotion to his creative vision led to a fantastic collection of hundreds of wooden human and animal figures within a highly complex and ornate sculptural environment, now known as the Sculpture Garden of Romano Gabriel. Gabriel’s beginnings in the United States date back to 1913 when the artist left his homeland of Mura, Italy, at the age of 26 and headed to America in search of a new life and opportunities. After serving in World War II, Gabriel settled in Eureka on Pine St. in a home which he had built himself. He lived what neighbors and community members characterized as a largely introverted life, working as
a carpenter and gardener, but keeping mostly to himself. At the age of 50, Gabriel felt compelled to create sculptural forms out of wooden vegetable crates to fill the void not only on his lawn, but also in himself. This void resulted from his increasing dissatisfaction in living what most would call an “ordinary” or “normal” life as prescribed by American social scripts and ideals. Gabriel harnessed his knowledge of hand tools from furniture and house construction with his creative energy to fill his 30 foot by 60 foot front lawn with a multitude of brightly painted sculptural figures and forms made from wooden crate materials. Gabriel’s work is distinguishable both by its quantity and quality, not to mention his persistent dedication to his craft. At the age of 80, the artist put the final touches to his work, and by this time the sculptural garden had become a tourist attraction, garnering national and international attention. In 1967, the artist passed away and the California Arts Council immediately designated the sculptural garden as an important piece of folk art. The Romano Gabriel Sculpture Garden in its current preserved state at 315 Second St. in Old Town Eureka is made possible through the efforts of the Vellutini Family, individual donations, the Eureka Heritage Society, the City of Eureka, and by a grant from the Humboldt Area Foundation. www.eurekaheritage.org
“Gabriel’s Garden” Premieres June 2011 In 2010, North Coast Dance received a $25,000 grant from The James Irvine Foundation to create a dance/theater piece based on the life and work of internationally recognized Eureka folk art sculpture artist Romano Gabriel. The production is titled, “Gabriel’s Garden,” and will premiere June 2011. Gabriel’s Garden will bring these sculptures to life. North Coast Dance will be working with the Humboldt Arts Council and Eureka Heritage Society to mount a simultaneous exhibition of Romano Gabriel’s work at the Morris Graves Museum of Art in Eureka. North Coast Dance is a non-profit organization devoted to the promotion and development of dance in the North Coast community, and presents performances in cooperation with Eureka’s Arkley Center for the Performing Arts.

umboldt County is a center of creative energy boasting more artists per capita than anywhere in California. The region is home to writers, visual artists, musicians, actors, dancers and filmmakers, many of whom have garnered national and international acclaim. Artists find the North Coast naturally supports their creative pursuits by providing a backdrop of untouched landscapes, a colorful multi-cultural population and the slow pace of life that only a rural environment can offer. At the heart of this beautiful artists’ community is Eureka. Named one of the top small art towns in John Villani’s book The 100 Best Small Art Towns in America, Eureka is an exciting place for any art lover. With the amazing support the town offers to local artists, there is an abundance of art—be it outdoor art in the form of murals on the walls of buildings, the array of abstract sculptures

The Eureka Symphony Delighting Audiences on the North Coast for Nearly 20 Years by Mary Smith
S
ince its beginning in 1992, this all-community orchestra has grown to presently include 74 members. Members are comprised of Humboldt County natives and others who have moved here from all over the country. Some of the musicians are professionals who earn their living composing, playing or conducting. Others are neighbors who are dedicated to bringing music into their homes and communities. Over half of the members live outside Eureka, travelling to rehearsals and performances from Willow Creek, Miranda, Whitethorn, Salmon Creek, Redway, Hydesville and Trinidad. From 1992 to 2006, the Eureka Symphony performed in various venues, including a church sanctuary and high school auditoriums. In 2007, the Eureka Symphony took its place as a community partner with the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts. Having a permanent, stable home in this world-class venue has been a key factor in the organization’s growth. The high quality and caliber of participating musicians can also be attributed to Carol Jacobson. Since 2003 Jacobson has been the Musical Director and Conductor of the Eureka Symphony. She brings extraordinary talent and vast musical experience to the organization. An accomplished cellist, Jacobson earned her bachelor’s degree at Humboldt State University, with further studies at the Salzburg Mozarteum, The Royal Danish Conservatory and the Netherlands Royal Conservatory in the Hague. Jacobson was a member of the Netherlands National Ballet Orchestra in Amsterdam, the Netherlands Radio Symphony, the Oslo Opera Orchestra, the Netherlands Strijkers Ensemble, and the North Coast Chamber Players. In the past, Jacobson was conductor of the Humboldt State University Orchestra and directed the Humboldt Music Academy for eight years. Currently, Jacobson teaches studio cello at Humboldt State University, is the Director of Orchestra and Choir at
Arcata High School and is principal cellist in the North State Symphony. Jacobson describes the Eureka Symphony as “a live and vibrant organism with all different personalities coming together and melding.” She pours over many scores and listens to a myriad of recordings to develop a diverse and interesting selection of music for each season. While receiving many Carol Jacobson suggestions as to which pieces the Eureka Conductor Symphony should perform, the final decision rests with her. Approximately three weeks before the first rehearsal, the music is sent out to all participants to begin their independent practices. Six weeks before performance, the group comes together for rehearsals.

Humboldt Botanical Gardens Growing Art from the Grassroots Level
Story and Photos courtesy of Humboldt Botanical Gardens Foundation
T
wenty years ago, a few enthusiastic dreamers believed our region needed a botanical garden. Today that dream is well on its way to fulfillment. While most botanical gardens are publicly funded or donated in a mature state to a botanical foundation or educational institution, the Humboldt Botanical Garden (HBG) is a grassroots garden grown through the generosity of our local community. Designed by renowned landscape architect, Ron Lutsko, the HBG is the only botanical garden in Humboldt, Del Norte and Trinity counties. The HBG is a place where families of all ages can relax and experience the wonders of nature. It is a work in progress on 44.5 acres with five major gardens and many trails completed. HBG is
but the native plantings also include the ethnobotany of many local plants. While the Lost Coast Brewery Native Plant Garden shows how native plants can be used in a landscape, the Wildberries Natural Riparian Area features the use of native plants in a coastal riparian wetland with a perennial stream running through it. Restoration of this area is an ongoing challenge to remove invasive plants and enhance the natural attributes of a riparian area. Willows, flowering currants (Ribes sanguneum), red alders and other natives reflect the natural diversity of our region. As you explore the garden, you can imagine what our area was like hundreds of years ago. Named after Larry Moss, one of the original visionaries behind the HBG, the Moss Family Temperate Woodland Garden features a range of plants from the temperate zones of our planet. With mild temperatures, wet winters and cool, dry summers, many plants flourish here that cannot thrive in most parts of the world. In the Moss Family Temperate Woodland Garden you will find many rhododendrons including examples from the Maddeniis family which are considered “tender” rhododendrons. Other plants found here are Himalayan blue poppy, magnolias, dogwoods, trilliums and a dove tree. The Wollemi Pine (Wollemia nobilis) resides in the Temperate Woodland Garden. Once thought to be extinct until its discovery in 1994 in Sydney Australia’s Blue mountains, the Wollemi Pine is one of the oldest and rarest of trees in existence.
The All Happy Now living sculpture
a safe place to explore and learn in an atmosphere where plants, nature and the environment can truly come alive. Besides their beauty, botanical gardens play a complex role and require more vigilance to maintain than the typical ornamental display garden. A botanical garden is a living museum typified by strict adherence to professional horticultural and ethical codes. The first completed garden to greet you as you enter HBG is the Dedekam Ornamental Terrace Garden. It is a showcase garden designed using a rainbow spectrum of colors moving from the bright reds to the cool blues and whites. The garden changes with the seasons using colorful perennials and shrubs to welcome visitors. Flanking the Ornamental Terrace Garden are a rose and a heather garden which mirror the rainbow effect of the main garden. The Lost Coast Brewery Native Plant Garden provides visitors with examples of how native plants can be aesthetically integrated and used to conserve resources as well as provide a beautiful landscape. The native plant garden consists of grasses, iris, shrubs and trees native to our region prior to October 12, 1492. The plants emphasize the Humboldt County region, but include plants in the range of the Rogue River in Oregon to the north shore of San Francisco Bay. Information about all plants in the garden is documented,
Peter Santino’s All Happy Now sculpture is featured at the southern end of the garden. A 100 foot diameter earth and grass ziggurat composed of two slowly rising and expanding spiral ramps, All Happy Now is intended to be walked on in the manner of the meditation labyrinths found in churches and cathedrals. A living sculpture, All Happy Now is a hands on art piece for all ages to enjoy. Whether you just need a break from a hectic day, want to picnic with your family or need a safe place to hike, the HBG is a must destination. It is also a great place to get information on plants that grow in our climate and inspire you with new ideas to take home to your own yard. The Garden is located next to College of the Redwoods just south of Eureka. Take the north College of the Redwoods entrance and you will see signs leading you to the HBG. The Humboldt Botanical Garden is a member of the American Horticultural Society Reciprocal Admissions Program. It is open every Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and during the week by appointment. The garden is ADA compliant and an electric car is available for tours. Admission is $5 for nonmembers over the age of 12. Members and children are free. Call (707) 442-5139 or visit the web: www.hbgf.org The Palette / 17

Linda Wise: Redefining the Art of Reuse by Mary Smith photo by Mary Smith
I
t has been said, “One person’s trash is another person’s treasure”. This certainly holds true for artist, Linda Wise. She works at Recology Humboldt County providing waste management for the city of Eureka. According to Wise, “It takes a creative mind to work with waste. I can’t look at this stuff without wanting to make something out of it.” Best known locally for her sculptures made out of reused materials, including: tools, garbage truck parts and garbage bins. Wise donates, on average four pieces of art annually to the local community. Her most public sculpture in Eureka is “Bucephalus,” the dynamic horse sculpture located on the north-end of Eureka,
just off Fifth Street. She worked on the piece for months. The horse helped her work through her father’s death and the emotions that came with it. “Art is healing. The piece just kept getting bigger and bigger,” stated Wise. Ultimately, the piece needed a name. As luck would have it, she found a Breyer horse toy in the trash. The package containing the toy featured the horse’s name and history. That particular horse figure was named Bucephalus, after Alexander the Great’s horse. The name fit perfectly. Wise grew up in an artistic family. Her father was an architect by profession and an excellent charcoalist and watercolorist. Her mother is an art collector. Both parents fostered her and her sister’s artistic talents from an early age. The family spent many summers in Mendocino enjoying the abundant art community. Wise started working in clay with master potter, Sasha McCoffkin of the Mendocino Art Center, later studying oil painting at Lafayette Forge in Contra Costa County. She also worked for UC Berkeley and it was there that she started taking environmentally based classes. Wise moved to Humboldt County in the early 1990’s to continue her education at Humboldt State University. She received her degree in fisheries with a master’s in wastewater management. Working as a regulator and environmental health specialist led to a job in waste management. Wise is a member of Eureka Main Street’s Public Art Committee. The committee worked with the Eureka Arts and Culture Commission and the City of Eureka to feature rotating artists and their sculpture at the “C” Street Market Square, a newly opened extension of Eureka’s beautiful boardwalk. Wise hopes that neighbors and city governments throughout the area take notice and realize how important the arts are in our communities. Future plans for Linda Wise include continued work on her sculptures and a group show in Gualala in September, 2011 with

Multicultural Hot spot for Eclectic Art and Great Food by Bill Prescott

S
tep into Los Bagels Bakery and Café on Second Street in Old Town Eureka, and experience one of the great landmarks on the North Coast. Los Bagels is the multicultural hot spot for the region. Even before you taste the food, your eyes will feast on the eclectic mix of artwork adorning the walls. The Truchas Gallery is located within the café. The name “Truchas” comes from the Spanish word “trout.” The Gallery was named not only for Los Bagels founder Dennis Rael’s fondness for fishing, but for the town of Truchas, New Mexico. Rael’s family has roots in this beautiful region of the Southwest, long before his grandparents migrated west to California. Featuring a rotating selection of the region’s best artists, the exposed brick wall leaves plenty of room for large works and three dimensional displays. The other walls house a permanent collection, featuring a large three panel mural (at left) created by children at the Equinox School in Arcata. Above the deli area are a collection of large caricatures originally created for a Martin Luther King Jr. parade at the Trinidad courtesy of Los Bagels Town Hall. These images

represent Rosa Parks, Stevie Wonder, Mother Teresa, Frida Kahlo and Martin Luther King Jr., and capture the true multicultural essence of Los Bagels. Quietly hung out of harm’s way are two rare giclee prints by Robert Cassila. Cassila illustrated the bestselling children’s book, “Jalapeno Bagels” by Natasha Wing. This book is based on Los Bagels and founder Dennis Rael. Rael grew up with a Jewish mother and a Latino father, celebrating customs from both sides of his family. His multicultural upbringing in southern California inspired Rael to start Los Bagels over 26 years ago. Natasha Wing’s story is based on a boy named Pablo who can’t decide what to bring to school for “International Day.” This book has been a best seller in children’s literature, and is currently required reading for many second graders across America. Signed copies of the book are available in the café. Depending on the season, the café may be adorned with a Day of the Dead ofrenda, a collection of Judaica from around the world, or even handmade tin hearts from Oaxaca, Mexico. The menu at Los Bagels is as diverse as the collection of artwork. Featuring the tastes of Mexico combined with traditional Jewish fare, Los Bagels offers boiled then baked bagels, along with a great selection of toppings, including smoked turkey, lox, hummus and a wide variety of spreads. In the pastry case find handmade croissants, rugalah, challah and a selection of muffins and cookies that is sure to please. Serving fresh seasonal local produce, gourmet coffee and espresso, Los Bagels will delight the most discriminating palette, yet is fun and family friendly. Los Bagels is perfect for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon treat. With locations at 403 2nd St. in Old Town Eureka and 1061 I St. in Arcata, Los Bagels is more than real bagels…it is an experience.

Humboldt Brews Exploring the Art of Beer and Food Pairing by Anthony Welch
H
umboldt Brews in Arcata is now offering a beer and food pairing event once a month to highlight the many ways of combining great food and unique microbrews. The events will feature live music, raffles, and a buffet in which flights of beer will be offered individually with food combinations to explore the many nuances of beer and food pairing. While wine has traditionally been thought of as the quintessential beverage for pairing with food, beer is quickly gaining an appreciation of its own. Beer, mainly made from water, malted barley, yeast and hops possesses a wide range of flavors, aromas and textures. This, along with added spices, nuts, chocolate, fruits and vegetables within the brewing process may make beer even more food friendly than wine. In coming up with the idea for these food and beer pairing events, Humboldt Brews owner Andy Ardell said, “Most people only think of wine when you talk about food pairing. But beer has become much more popular recently and these beer and food pairing events are our attempt to try and educate the public about the many ways to combine and enjoy quality beer with good food.” Humboldt County is fortunate enough to have some of the best microbreweries and most delicious local food in the country. Our award-winning breweries put out some of the most eclectic and tasty brews in the nation. In fact, Mad River Brewery in Blue Lake took home the Small Brewing Company Brewer of the Year award from the 2010 Great American Beer Festival. “Compared to other regions, Humboldt offers a variety in beer that you just do not see very often,” according to Colin Garon, bartender at Humboldt Brews. “There is so much variation within each brew house that you could drink only local beers and not feel like you are drinking the same beer twice.” With nearly 40 different beers produced by the five local breweries; Eel River, Lost Coast, Mad River, Redwood Curtain and Six Rivers (see list), there is a lot of good award-winning beer to choose from. This combined with food from any of the many farmers and artisan food producers we have in Humboldt is a definite recipe for enjoyment. Items such as produce from Warren Creek Farms, cheese from Cyprus Grove Chevre, beef from Humboldt Grassfed Beef, breads from Brio and the Northcoast Bakery, and chocolate from Venlo Chocolates, all make for interesting pairing opportunities. In the book The Brewmaster’s Table, Garrett Oliver says, “No matter how complex or refined the dish, whether its foie gras or a simple sausage, there is a terrific beer out there that will provide a perfect accompaniment. If you love food, but you know only wine, then your trying to write a symphony using only half the notes and half the orchestra.” The art of beer and food pairing is to basically take the character of the food (sweet, bitter, spicy, etc.) and either compliment or contrast it with a beer’s flavor profile. The key is to experiment in order to find what works. Beer has a wide diversity of styles and flavors offering great versatility when it comes to pairing. As with wine pairing, a lot really
depends on individual palettes. Prohibitions like the no-fish-withred-wine rule do not exist when pairing with beer. The main thing to remember is what are referred to as the three Cs—compliment, contrast and cleanse. Compliment – Beer complements food when its flavor profile matches up with certain flavors in food. Delicate dishes work best with delicate beers, and strongly flavored foods work best with assertive beers. For example the chocolate and coffee flavors of a stout draw out similar flavors in a chocolate dessert. Contrast – Contrasting a beer’s flavors against a dish can be equally satisfying and often more memorable. This occurs when the differences in flavors between the beer and the food are accentuated. Often, this means pairing a light, subtle beer with an assertive, spicey type of food. Cleanse – Most beers work well at cleansing the palate because they are carbonated. They are able to slice through the heat of spicy foods and similarly cleanse the palate of rich or heavy foods.

long the banks of the wild and scenic Trinity River sits Willow Creek, a delightful place to stop for a cup of coffee and plan an expedition into Bigfoot territory. The Willow Creek China Flat Museum houses an interesting collection of historical artifacts from the community and surrounding area, but may be best known for its fun collection of material relating to the Bigfoot legend. An excursion dedicated to the arts and culture of the North Coast cannot be considered complete without the inclusion of art created by Native American tribes of the region. The Hoopa Tribal Museum on the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich cultural history and artistic practices of Native Americans of Northern California. Willow Creek’s Studio 299 Center for the Arts is a non-profit community organization devoted to the promotion and development of the arts in the Klamath and Trinity communities of Northern California. Studio 299 offers artists a place to gather, and a way to give back to the community with such events as the Taste of Willow Creek, Christmas Craft Gallery and the Willow Creek Farmers’ Market. The organization provides support for a wide variety of local artists, and is a sustaining resource for the community and the arts on the 299 corridor of Humboldt and Trinity Counties. Other Trinity County artist organizations include the Artist Re-

he tiny former logging town of Blue Lake rests near the banks of the Mad River off Highway 299 as it heads east. Blue Lake is home to a surprising number of artists, musicians, writers and actors. At the heart and center of its art community is Dell’Arte International, a world-famous school of physical theatre. While Dell’Arte features performances at various venues throughout the year, the summer Mad River Festival is the highlight of the season. This month-long extravaganza brings performers and audiences together for theatre, stories, clowning and music. It culminates with The Blue Lake Pageant where dancers, musicians and masked participants take to the streets accompanied by gigantic puppets. Also in Blue Lake, a vibrant music scene takes an energetic dancestep back into tradition thanks to the Humboldt Folklife Society, whose mission is to teach, celebrate and encourage participation in traditional and folk arts. Young musicians are finding an artistic outlet and connection to tradition by performing old-time and bluegrass music, mixing new energy with the old. Humboldt Folklife Society not only offers an ongoing calendar of events, but opportunities for musicians to gather for jam sessions, songwriting circles and evening sing-a-longs. During the summer, the Humboldt Folklife Society hosts a week-long Folklife Festival. For more information, visit www.humboldtfolklife.org

he ocean and waterways influence the beauty of northern Humboldt County. McKinleyville is a beautiful, growing community bordered by the rugged Pacific Coast, nestled between the Mad and Little Rivers, and filled with streams and creeks. It is home to the Azalea State Reserve, a 30-acre wilderness preserve filled with fragrant pink and white blossomed, wild azaleas in April and May. Nearby Clam Beach is known for beachcombing, fishing and horseback riding. The famous Hammond Coastal Trail presents stunning panoramic views of the coastline. Its art influences stem from a large Native American community, its days as a western pioneer town and from its beautiful natural surroundings. North of McKinleyville is the tiny community of Westhaven, featuring the Westhaven Center for the Arts. The center features new exhibits and artists’ receptions each month, concerts and drama events, workshops and classes, many children’s activities, poetry readings, puppet shows, holiday events and other art exhibits. Just past Westhaven is the seaside village of Trinidad. It boasts a population of nearly 400 and is one of the most picturesque communities on the North Coast. Trinidad, with its small but dramatic bay and coastline, is known for its traditional fishing fleet, quaint ocean-side cottages and lovely Bed and Breakfast inns. Feast on fresh local seafood at one of Trindad’s fine food restaurants, and venture into one of several galleries highlighting works that star the natural beauty of the area. Trinidad has inspired the work of many well-known local and visiting artists.

Andy Westfall Portraits of Life in Humboldt’s Heartland by Mary Smith
I
n 1996, fifth generation Humboldter, Andy Westfall began his quest to compile a photographic and narrative history of Humboldt County’s rich ranching heritage. The project started out simple enough. Westfall bought a used book for $10 entitled Historic Ranches of Wyoming. This got him thinking that nothing like this existed in Humboldt County. The wheels started turning. Westfall took into consideration the area’s rich culture, vast landscape and the people that make ranching here a way of life.
“.... worked and played on ranches all over the county. And there was not a pickup cab or kitchen, mountaintop or meadow where I did not feel welcome. “ — Andy Westfall
Graham Westfall and boys, Henry and Jack, Oil Creek Ranch
Andy and his wife Sandy purchased a ranch in 1989 at Bunker Hill. This led to their involvement with the Buckeye Conservancy and the Cattlemen’s Association while learning how to deal with the many issues of running a ranch. Westfall, who was an art major in college, began the book’s process by contacting ranchers for interviews and taking photos. Several thousand photos were taken by Westfall in the 14-year period and 100 interviews were held. One interview led to another. The close-knit ranching community embraced the endeavor early on and the Humboldt Heartland project grew. Combined interests in photography, local history and ranching formed Westfall’s mission to discover and portray the real people, real lives and real businesses respectfully, accurately and appropriately. As the interviews and photographs accumulated, Westfall organized the material into five categories, which became the structure for the book, Humboldt Heartland. These include: The Lore, The Landscape, The Livelihood, The Life and The Legacy. In Westfall’s own words: “The project’s 14 years gave me some wonderful times and I learned a great many things. I photographed, visited with, rode along, and worked and played on ranches all over the county. And there was not a pickup cab or kitchen, mountaintop or meadow where I did not feel welcome. There are two regrets: that I did not get to some people in time and that I could not include every place and not every person in the book.” The result is a beautiful 250 page, hardcover book that captures the life and times of many Humboldt County ranching families, past and present. Humboldt Heartland is available for $75 plus tax, postage and handling. To own a copy, contact Andy Westfall at (707) 786-4659.

T
he arts along the famed Avenue of the Giants (Old Hwy 101) are thriving. The majestic towering Redwoods and winding Eel River make for stunning views, perfect for creative inspiration. The small rural communities in the heart of the redwoods have gone from being booming mill towns to havens for artists, musicians and craftsmen. From world music concerts to chainsaw art, hemp clothing, jewelry making, wine-making, specialty foods and the many fine arts, these burgs in Southern Humboldt have made the national map. To whet the musical appetite, Benbow, Garberville and Redway, just outside the southern entrance to the Avenue of the Giants, are famous for several major yearly musical and theatrical events. Redway is home to the Mateel Community Center, internationally known for festivals and events. And an historic roadhouse in Phillipsville brings live entertainment to its bustling tavern. Retail shops, restaurants, roadside vendors and rural galleries along the Avenue of the Giants sell a variety of local arts and crafts. At most of the roadside stops along this route you’ll find carvings

hewn from the great redwood trees that make this area so unique. Miranda, near the southern entrance to the Avenue of the Giants has a few places to stop to admire and buy unique Redwood treasures and local art. The peaceful village of Myers Flat has a winery with a wine tasting room nestled in the redwood forest, a centerpiece of the Avenue of the Giants. The whole Avenue journey, through Weott and Redcrest north to Pepperwood, is eye candy to the traveler—whether given to us from nature or made from the hands of artists.

elcome to the wineries and vineyards of Humboldt County—a community of artisan wineries and vineyards whose passion and enthusiasm for wine is matched by the quality of their products. Humboldt is a county of diverse growing and wine making areas, from the vineyards and wineries scattered amongst the redwoods of Southern Humboldt to those winding river and forest canyons of the East county, and the wineries in the Northern County that feel the cool breezes of the Pacific Ocean. These diverse regions produce a variety of grapes ideally matched to the micro-climates and soils of these areas. Most of the vintners are happy to welcome guests and are only open by appointment. 1.

Not only will you get to taste their wines, but you will also learn how the wines are made and what they were thinking in developing a particular varietal.

Len Davis is a member of the Los Angeles Art Association and has exhibited in galleries in Los Angeles, Houston and New York. He has visited schools teaching students about collage and art in general. He has also had his work included in television shows and in several private collections, both domestically and internationally. “I work with assemblage, collage, mixed-media and works on paper. I use lots of found objects, drawings, print outs, text usage, graphite, color pencil, gouache, acrylic, pastel, etc.,” Davis says. “My pieces deal with life itself, i.e., the people we are, what we create, our capabilities and the issues with which we deal. My premise is to lure the viewer in. Once they’re in, they will be placed in a position to reflect on and question their ethics, be it disquieting or placid.” The Iconic Image, Fine Art Photography from the Humboldt Group Collection January 19 through March 6 The Iconic Image will feature fine art photography from the Humboldt Group Collection by different photographers including: Berenice Abbott, Ansel Adams, Ruth Bernhard, Wynn Bullock, Imogen Cunningham, Judy Dater, Walker Evans, Lewis W. Hine, William Henry Jackson, Dorthea Lange, Marc Riboud, Herb Ritts, Arthur Rothstein, Edward Steichen, Brett Weston, Edward Weston and Minor White.
balance in space. Not only am I concerned about the space it occupies, but especially the unoccupied space. Achieving this balance gives my sculpture energy. The use of steel is paramount for my working method. Not only do I admire steel for its permanence, but it also allows me to work on several sculptures at a time. The structural characteristics of steel are used to physically connec t and float Anthony Johnson sculptural elements. The adding and subtracting of various components with a touch of a torch or welder is very satisfying. Completing a sculpture is not of utmost importance. The struggle or process is the most important part of creating my art. It is an adventure that has its own rewards. Welding, cutting, bending and grinding are a form of meditation that transports me to a different place.” - Anthony Johnson
March 2011 Redwood Art Association March 17 through April 24 Annual juried spring exhibition from Humboldt County’s oldest artist’s association.

geometric style of painting in which faceless figures shift and explore the landscape, symbolizing the process rather than the end result. This exhibition will highlight Berry’s career achievements and illustrate his unique style. A full color book will soon be available for purchase in the Museum Gift Shop. Len Davis, A Thousand Words January 19 through March 6 Len Davis is an assemblage/installation, collage and work-on-paper artist who uses an array of found materials and objects to complete his drawings, collages and assemblages. Davis’ background stems from graphic design. Most of his work consists of materials that include text and numbers in them to invoke thought and mood in these visual stories. A Thousand Words is a series comprised of 100 8”X 5”collages incorporated with drawings of peoples’ faces. Like the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words.”This allows the viewer to make their own interpretation of each piece. Abstract in concept, illustrative in execution.

February 2011 25th Annual Images of Water—California Statewide Mixed Media Competition and Exhibition February 3 through March 13 Celebrating 25 years of creative visions of water, this annual photography competition highlights the inspiring beauty of water. From photos of lakes, streams, ice-cube trays and snow, Images of Water is a fun, theme-based show to take part in or to just take a look at. Open to all Californians, this is an exciting opportunity for the residents of California to become involved in the arts on the North Coast. Anthony Johnson: Timeworn February 5 through June 30 “I have always been fascinated by old rusty things, i.e.cars, tractors, disc plows etc, and how they interact with the surrounding landscape. The context and state in which these objects lie are commonplace. However, when I use rusted old tools and found objects in my sculpture, they become dynamic and alive. Familiar objects used in everyday life are transformed. I seek to simplify forms in my sculpture while creating a
Diana Schoenfeld, Schoolhouse Odyssey: Photographing Remote Location Ghost Schools and Voices from the Past— A Literal and Metaphorical Journey March 23 through May 1 Photographer and arts educator Diana Schoenfeld will present an exhibition of black and white photographs from Schoolhouse Odyssey, her extended photographic study of remote location“ghost”schools with the oral histories and stories she has gathered along the way. Through photography, literature, colorful spoken memoirs and a display of vintage textbooks dating from the 1840s, Schoenfeld will share the discoveries that make Schoolhouse Odyssey a metaphorical as well as physical journey. Visitors to the exhibition will see photographs of old one-room schoolhouses as they appear in unique landscapes

from Vermont to California. Some are nearly forgotten, in a state of ghostly decay, others preserved as tiny museums occasionally open to the public. The photographs show old reading scrolls, bulging cardboard blackboards; fragile, dusty schoolbooks; lunch boxes, slate boards and other schoolhouse memorabilia scanning the century from 1840 to 1940. Abandoned playgrounds, hand pumps, melancholy flagpoles and outbuildings are sometimes all that is left to remind us that these humble structures were once places full of life and imagination. Generations of students and teachers nourished the life of the mind in these simple schoolhouses, the remains of which still grace the American landscape. Visitors to the exhibit will be able to sit down and browse through transcribed oral memoirs compiled during the years that Diana has been working on this project. Included will be portraits of elderly former students, teachers, and protectors of these now mostly forgotten schools.
May 2011 Mia Semingson: 39+ What Comes Around, Goes Around May 4 through June 19 Prior to Semingson’s 39th Birthday, she had confronted herself many times with the concept of living in the present moment instead of looking to the past or the future as the present moment ticked
by. She has since decided to change her thought process, to slow time down with the aid of a digital camera, and become sensitive to the present moment by literally seeing and photographing what is in front of her each day. As part of this project, each day’s image references the previous day’s either visually or conceptually. Cathy Locke & Tracy Grubbs, Motion & Meaning May 4 through June 19 Today women in the U.S. have a greater capacity to control the direction of their lives than ever before. They must navigate a shifting set of unprecedented
Tracy Grubbs
choices regarding childbirth, careers, marriage, family and identity. Many are opting away from the traditional roles as mothers and searching for new meaning with their lives and new found liberation. The work of artists Tracy Taylor Grubbs and Cathy Locke explore the idea of liberation from two slightly

different perspectives, both grounded in the basic teachings of Buddhism. The ancient philosophy charts a path to liberation based on the clear-eyes acceptance of impermanence and change. In this context, the artists focus not on the choices women face, but on how they arrive at those choices and the prospect of constant change in their lives. Both artists mine the rich boundary between representation and abstraction to deepen their own understanding of change as a catalyst for liberation. Through the depiction of ordinary objects, including old cars, buildings and furniture, Tracy Taylor Grubbs’ oil paintings explore the changing nature of form and our capacity to perceive it. What, at first glance, appear to be tightly rendered objects, are actually changing, impermanent forms with missing roofs and dripping windows. Grubbs chooses her subjects for their ordinary presence and their inevitable absence from the world. Ultimately her paintings Mia Semingson provide a window where, at least for a moment, the static experience of a single view gives way to the ecstatic possibilities of the ephemeral. Cathy Locke’s work explores the shifting nature of identity and the transformative process of emotional experience. In her mixed media paintings, figures appear in landscapes that depict the emotional rather than the physical geography of our lives. The emotional context of the figures creates a timeless landscape. The viewer does not identify with a particular individual but rather with an experience or emotion. Her mixed media paintings combine oil and cold wax, or pastel and acrylic washes, to create a rich surface that reflects the changing, unpredictable nature of human emotions and the potential for liberation within these deeply felt experiences. These two artists use their particular place in history to explore new notions of liberation, not just for women, but for all people. Having benefited greatly from the political and economic reforms of the past century, Grubbs and Locke take time to contemplate a deeper form of freedom; one that enables us to come to terms with constant change. 10th Annual Northwest Eye Regional Photography Competition & Exhibition May 7 through June 12 The Northwest Eye is a five-state regional fine art photography competition and exhibition highlighting the current trends in the art of photography. This exhibition showcases the creativity and beauty caught by some of the finest photographers in the Northwest.
California Fiber Artists, Fiber Enriched June 22 through August 21 California Fiber Artists (CFA) is a group of independent fiber artists who have joined their collective works together forming exhibitions of exciting and diverse fiber art. CFA describe their work as fusion art using fiber as well as other mediums to develop texture, shape, design and color. The members are a unique combination of artists with skills ranging from sculpture, basketry, mixed media, art quilts and other fiber related mediums. The artists reconstruct fiber with dye, paint and wire, among other things, to develop their images. Collage and other three-dimensional work have been created to inject their exhibits with some sculptural elements as

When a student got stuck, Tom used to say, “Go back to the bud.” And so, following his advice, Duning often returns to the small, black and white, simple images that remind him of the time of first discovery and delight in symbolic mystery.

We invite you to come and see our beautiful art glass. 5251 Avenue of the Giants, Miranda, CA 95553 943-3053, info@spiritglass.com, www.spiritglass.com
Shoshanna
Middle Eastern Dance Artist
As a performer, I strive to bring my audience with me on a journey into the heart of Arabic music, expressing celebration of life through dance. I teach locally and nationally, direct Ya Habibi Dance Company and Redwood Raks World Dance Studio, and produce music and dance events, including the Redwood Coast Belly Dance Festival. I’ve studied this style since 1992, and in 2004 earned the title “Belly Dancer of the Year.” 616-6876, dance@shoshannaland.com www.shoshannaland.com

You’re looking at the casino of the future.
The casino of the future isn’t a huge room with rows and rows of shiny slot machines. Just you, relaxing on a couch with a drink and an iPad. It’s called iSino, and it’s here. ®

Of course, if you prefer shiny slot machines, we’ve got more than 800 of those, too. iPad ownership not required; they are provided by Blue Lake Casino & Hotel.
