Winter Greetings from Chinook Studios!
I am currently near the end of my Artist Residency at the Sonoran Dessert Inn in Ajo, Arizona. I am one of two Artists-in-Residence from January 5-19, 2019.
We will have Open Studios on 1/8 and 1/15. Come see us!
Also, a pop-up show at a local gallery, Art Under the Arches, on 1/17.
I am thrilled to have the opportunity to focus on my new body of work.
For awhile now I've been taking photographs, specifically of skies, and translating into small sketches and paintings. I have also been using patterns found in paiute basketry. Combining all of these elements together I find that my new small works are forming a bold new direction for my work.
I will do my darndest to post my adventures on Instagram from Ajo during my Residency.

Baskets
July 28, 2018: I had the pleasure of taking a Black Ash basket class with Kelly Church. She is amaznig! My daugther joined in on the fun too.
Just getting started!
My foundation.
Detail work.
Two very happy basket makers!
In September of 2015, I had the opportunity to take an AMAZING Paiute/Miwok Basketry class in Yosemite through the Yosemite Conservancy from Lucy Parker, her mother Juia Parker, and her daughter Ursula. It was an honor to begin learning a traditional art form.

The class was a true learning experience. I am incredibly lucky to have been able to take it from this amazing family. I met some great friends. I was humbled by great teachers as well. I have many years of learning to go. Materials have already been gathered (Thanks Peggy and Clay) to start some baskets in the Spring.
AHO!
