Our newest DreamMaker project is June & Ken s Kinetics. June Moxon and Ken Beidleman seek to create and promote teamwork through the art of kinetic sculpture construction and the annual Kinetic Grand Championship Race. Their kinetic lab, where people of all walks of life gather to practice the balance of work and play, provides a collaborative workspace for creating kinetic sculptures, puppetry, and costuming. Striving to bring laughter into the hearts of everyone who lays eyes upon her sculptures June values teamwork, mentorship and respect for those who came before us. To find out more or get involved, contact Missy Fielder at Butterflybodyart @hotmail.com or June Moxon at junemoxon1@gmail.com. We have sad news that our hard working, wonderful Development Director, Jim Christensen, will have left us at the end of July. The happy news is that he is going to be working full time to support and market Christina Swingdler s fabulous artwork. Thank June Moxon on Sparkle the Kinetic Horse 2 you, Jim, for all you have accomplished. Our Board Development and Succession Planning consultant, Deborah Claesgens, has created a comprehensive notebook with the instructions for me and the board to move the organization forward. Thank you, Deborah! And thank you to the California Arts Council for the grant that made it possible. We are looking for people who would like to join our Development Committee. Our first project will be the Fall Gala scheduled for November 11. If you re interested, please contact me at libby@inkpeople.org or (707) 445-0700. I got a 5 day vacation last month visiting my mother and sister in Asheville, NC, and actually got a taste of being relaxed. Of course, it didn t last long, but it was really nice. Peace, Libby

What is your favorite art medium to work in, and why? Primary medium are oil paints. However, I have been exploring inks of late, especially sumi-e (Japanese calligraphy ink). Ink works are now a part of my portfolio. The whys? Oils are alive, rich and open-ended; impasto, washes, glazes and everything in between. I find inks challenging. Fluid, yet permanent. Strokes require intent. When did you first figure out that art was important to you? Art modeling and fashion illustration in my early twenties introduced me to the importance of line, gesture, and the human form. Early exposure, by my mother, to museums, galleries and history, planted the seed. She was an artist and taught art. Not until the ripe age of 40, did I seriously commit to painting. I have not looked back. Featured Artist Georgia Long earnest, the Nude was my subject matter. Egon Schiele, raw and unapologetic, was my inspiration. So many, really. Kandinsky, Diebenkorn, Frankenthaler come to mind. I still keep a foot in figurative and scape, through an abstract eye. My art is my... Vocation. I will pursue and push boundaries until unable to do so. To quote a beloved Game of Thrones character, "That's what I do, I paint and I know things" What advice would you offer someone just beginning their exploration of their own artistic self? Learn the foundations: composition, contrast, color, movement, balance. Seek a good teacher to move you through the self-doubt. Fear of the blank canvas is healthy. That first mark is owning the canvas. Expose yourself to art, study what attracts. Take classes, dive in and surround yourself with artists; it is a large tribe. Who is your art mentor? My mother for introducing me into the world of art. When I started to paint in 4 Find more at Georgialongstudio.com

Watercolor Class with Alan Sanborn Alan Sanborn is a nationally exhibited watercolorist who is best known locally as the artist who paints the images that adorn the annual Farmers' Market posters. He has taught at HSU and CR, and has been an instructor through The Ink People for more than twenty five years. I teach basically the same class every year, unless I've gained a grain of wisdom in the intervening months. Although it is a designed as a beginning class, I have some students who take it two or three times. I can assure absolute beginners that there will be others like you in the class. But I also believe the class offers something for watercolorists at whatever level. Probably the most important aspect of learning is having a safe non-threatening place to practice your work -- and there is nothing that speeds learning along more than a lot of good mistakes. I try to cover the full width of what watercolor can do, including those things that I don't do all that well myself. The class is oriented very much toward representational art and toward color through layering -- since that's what I know best, and what I most love about the medium. It is very technically oriented and most of the lessons are designed to be clear and directed (at least I like to think so). The class will be on Monday evenings, 6:30-9:30. There will be 15 class sessions, starting on September 11. We will meet at Arcata High School. The cost of the class is $225. Reach me at lala@arcatanet.com or feel free to call me at 822-7958. 5

DreamMaker North Star Quest Camp is Inspiring Girls On a sunny Saturday in July, a group of women from seniors in high school to senior citizens will pack their cars, and brave the Mattole Road (know also as the Wildcat) on their way to a one of a kind Summer camp for and by Humboldt s own Wonder Women (and girls.) At the Mattole Camp and Retreat Center outside of Petrolia, they will spend the next several days working to bring out the best in their young female charges through enlightening workshops, empowering activities, and good old fashioned camp fun like swimming, sing-a-longs, and arts and crafts. We joined the Ink People s DreamMaker Program because we wanted help bookkeeping and grant writing. says Camp Director Texas. We ve stuck around for the last ten years because all the valuable services they offer allow us to focus on our mission while they do the boring stuff. Each day at North Star Quest follows a We don t teach them what to think, we teach them to think. 6 theme designed to teach campers the value of introspection, communication, and finding your own place in the world. Day one is Who am I inside? All the day s activities focus on looking inward, finding out who you are, and imagining who you want to be. A day one activity could be creative writing, or making mosaic mirrors with affirmations written on the frame. On this day, the staff will teach small workshops on health issues like nutrition, menstruation, and temper control. Day two is Who am I with other people? Campers work on communication skills, conflict resolution, and healthy relationships. On day two, you might find campers learning about trust through horse training, doing trust falls, or discussing what to do when you witness someone being bullied. Day three is Who am I in the world? This day is centered around the big picture of

where one fits into the world. Workshops include How are you Going to Rock the World? about entrepreneurship, and multi cultural arts like Middle Eastern or African dance. There is a whole camp workshop on media literacy where campers learn to deconstruct the messages they see online, in movies, and in social media. They get so many messages thrown at them about who they should be, how they should look and act We want to help them sift through it all, and decide for themselves. says Laura Laroooo Keenados, the camp s arts teacher, and leader of the Media Workshop. One of the core lessons of North Star Quest is critical thinking. According to their staff training literature, We don t teach them what to think, we teach them to think. Now at inkpeople.org This Summer, 72 girls will gain some valuable tools to help them in the difficult and sometimes dangerous world of middle school. They will be inspired by a group of trained mentors to grow into the best women they can imagine, and if they re lucky, they ll come back like so many of them do at the end of high school to pass on these lessons to the next group of girls.
