Vertical Wave Stained Glass by Colleen Clifford in Humboldt County CA


​     Colleen Clifford's skilled glass work is light and flowing, usually treating subjects in nature. This past year, Clifford has been concentrating on stained glass images inspired by our vast ocean. Her lines create the pattern, and the chosen glass colors create the underlying depths and reflective nature of wate. She creates these wave windows in ever-changing perspectives to express the light and texture found in the endless variety of ocean wave scenes.

Wave Stained Glass by Colleen Clifford in Humboldt County CA
    Clifford describes her fascination: "Part of the ocean's beauty is its constant rhythm; the ever-surging power of waves and tides. At times serene, at times stormy, the water ebbs and flows, lifts and drops, laps and pounds. I hoped to tap into that dichotomy of strength and serenity with my current work of different types of wave patterns."
 
     Clifford's delight in the ocean's variety is also reflected in her work with glass boxes and small mandala ornaments. The mirrored bottoms of these boxes reflect the rich, luminescent textures and colors of the glass she selects, and a simple wave on top brings a bit of motion to this precious piece of home decor. ​


Spring River by Lisa LandisSpring River
    Lisa Landis has been living in Humboldt County since 1973 and has always been creating art of varying mediums. Born into a family of artists, she has six siblings that are also professional artists.  She started painting in pastel in 2005, and has studied as "artist in residence" in the Corbiere region of southern France, won "First Place" in the Pastel division at the El Cerrito Art Association's annual show.

    ​Having shown her work locally since 2012, Landis joined Trinidad Art's cooperative gallery last fall.  Her landscapes are inspired by and beautifully interpret the overwhelming beauty of our area.

Dunes by Lisa LandisDunes
   Says Landis, "I am influenced by California's rugged coast and the abundant beauty of Humboldt County, including the mountains, rivers, wetlands and backroads. When I'm painting I'm lost in the landscape and completely drawn into my attempt to express it."

   ​One of her pieces has just been accepted in the 32nd annual International juried exhibition of the Pastel Society of the West Coast.  It will be on display in Morro Bay from 
August 16 -September 16. ​

Colleen Clifford: "Glass is a fragile yet sensuous material, and I enjoy making art that can play off these elements. Designing a piece takes the creativity, concentration, and dedication that any art medium demands, and I am both challenged and inspired during this process. When the piece moves to the construction phase, I love to feel the creative force of art bonding with the traditional, mechanical craft of stained glass production. I strive to balance a piece with pleasing composition, color, and texture."
Colleen Clifford

Oceana Madrone: "Fabric and beads are a passion of mine. They offer so many choices in color, patterns, textures, and sparkle. The possibilities are endless. Quilts, dolls, and ceremonial jewelry are bouncing around in my head, clamoring to be made. With time and patience they are created reflecting my desire to create order out of chaos, and bringing beauty into people's hearts."
Oceana Madrone
