“Your Monday Muse” #15
Can I tell you a secret? Only a few people know this, but I have a BIG dream, a vision for the future… my legacy project.
My ultimate goal as an Art Consultant within this community is to create an outdoor sculpture garden where art is seamlessly featured within nature, ideally along the American River.
Inspired by my visits to Boboli Garden, The Chianti Sculpture Park, Palace of Versailles, Filoli, and di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art… I am on a mission to create a destination in my hometown (Sacramento, CA) where immersive art installations seem to rise from the core of Mama Earth inviting visitors to contemplate their own purpose and creativity amidst the flora and fauna of our region.
With this massive undertaking always in mind, I consistently seek new inspiration and collaborative partners who bring my vision to the next level. Recently I connected with two creatives I am excited to share:
The first is Susan Woodford, a metal sculptor whose artwork I am honored to feature in my current gallery exhibit “Her Inner Light” on view (by appointment only) at The Gallery at The Urban Hive through mid-May.
Her figurative sculpture “Vishuddha” depicts a moment when the figure has freed her voice by emotionally healing her throat chakra and releasing the energetic blockage that had kept her feeling unheard, unseen, and undeserving. Regaining voice is a form of regaining self-identity. The Vishuddhi Chakra unleashes an unlimited feeling of euphoria and freedom that allows ability and skill to blossom.
The second is Michael Glassman, an award-winning landscape designer whose work I am honored to feature during my next event at his home later this month.
Michael's work has been featured nationwide. His landscape designs were the subject of nearly fifty Sunset magazine articles and several HGTV specials. He was co-host and designer of Discovery Home Channel's series Garden Police and featured on CNN's Glenn Beck Show
YOU’RE INVITED: “Garden Art Tour” is an artful afternoon in the beautiful backyard of landscape designer Michael Glassman in Davis, CA at 4:15pm on Saturday, April 20th. Enjoy refreshments and a private tour of this inspiring outdoor living space featuring original art from around the world. Space is limited, so register today.
