Art Salon December 17, 2025 (10:30am)
Topaz room, HOA2 Arts & Craft Center, Mountain View complex

Presented by Dan Studiner

You are invited to attend the December Art Salon to learn about the art of Andrew Goldsworthy. Goldsworthy incorporates found objects from nature to create his sculptures, then uses photography to capture images of his often-ephemeral art. Rather than interfering in natural processes, his work magnifies existing ones through deliberately minimal intervention in the landscape. The materials include such items as brightly colored flowers, leaves, mud, pinecones, snow, icicles, stone, and twigs. Born in 1956 and a lifetime artist, he continues to create, and with the passage of time, his works have become increasingly permanent in nature, further solidifying his legacy.


All program attendees are encouraged to bring a few small stones, leaves, or other items from nature which we will use to create and photograph a group artwork near the close of this program. Come and enjoy the uniqueness and creativity of Goldsworthy’s methods and works. Guests are welcome.

Art Sampler Class, December 4th

This class is a great opportunity for budding artists and those who have no experience. We will explore, drawing, watercolor, acrylics, pastels and collage.

Artist Spotlight - Jeannette Launer

Jeannette Launer

 

In 2018, Jeannette Launer was invited by a friend to participate in a week-long art camp. Jeannette had always wanted to paint, but in a family with an artistic mom and a sister who was labeled as the “arty one”, she was known as “the academic one.” She had attended the University of Oregon, gone to law school, and worked as an Assistant City Attorney, then for the Portland Development Commission in real estate development, and eventually opened her own law practice. For the last 18 years of her career, “it was just me and my dog” working on public/private development projects. The opportunity to attend art camp was a chance to finally explore her creative side. Read more about Jeannette’s artistic journey in the news section…
