Lida Penkova and Donvieve

Featured Artists for October 2018

Trinidad Art Night Reception: 
Friday, October 5th,
 6 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Wine will be poured by Companion Animal Foundation. 
Music by
 J.D. Jeffries Band and Celtic harpist Howdy Emerson.
​
PictureLet's Dance

​Lida Penkova has gained fame in Humboldt County for her unique art pieces. Her unusual process of linocut with colors added by acrylics and colored pencils always tells a story, sometimes from mythology, sometimes from real-life moments of a Mexican market or a surf day at a Trinidad beach, and sometimes from her own imagination. This month she is focusing her work on October's Day of the Dead.

PicturePlaying Dominos
Penkova, born in Czechoslovakia and living in countries around the world, was deeply affected as an artist by sixteen years of living in rural mountains of Mexico where she encountered folk art. The style she has developed is perfectly suited to illustrate the many ways that the dead are honored in October's Mexican tradition.


​Her lively scenes show altars adorned with flowers, candles, favorite dishes and drinks for deceased loved ones, families visiting the graves of relatives to honor them, the sugar skulls and skeleton toys sold in outdoor markets and at street stalls, marigold flowers in vases or spread out on pathways or hanging on strings to embellish homes and streets for the remembrance of those who are gone before us.


PictureLover's Shield
Donvieve creates amazingly lifelike masks that “gently challenge personal barriers and speak to people's inner places.” She uses only natural and recycled materials such as leather, fibers, metal, clay, and wood to achieve her three-dimensional expressions. “I am committed through my work, to build a deep appreciation of our connection to all things and cultivate awareness of how we each impact our planet and care for one another.”

PictureShaman Spirit
When Donvieve traveled to countries such as Bali, Mexico, Central America and Europe, she worked with native mask makers, developing deep appreciation for the art of varied exotic cultures. Donvieve generously shares her skills and her ecological consciousness with students in a variety of venues, from high school to university and with private organizations such as the Ink People. 
​
When teaching, Donvieve works to help her students become more interested and sensitive to different cultural groups and to what each group considers beautiful and valuable as they observe the world around them.

Diane Sonderegger and Donvieve

Featured Artists for February 2017

 
   In the words of Diane Sonderegger:  "Most people know me for my humorous animal figures and there are plenty of those in the gallery. But I wanted to show that I have done other more serious and complex pieces and some of those are featured this month. I hope you all enjoy looking at my work as much as I enjoy making it. Every day in the studio is a privilege and a pleasure."

About the art of Donvieve:
   "Multi-dimensional artist/educator' creates masks that reach across our personal barriers and speak to the landscape of our beings. Each piece tenderly touches areas of inner strength, introspection, and that secret place of dreams that lies within each of us.
