September Artist of the Month

Linda Cannefax has been doing Art to Wear for many years. Most of her clothing and accessories are handwoven and she specializes in dying her creations and spending many hours on finishing and embellishing her garments.

Linda, a longtime member of the Artisans' Co-op, has also participated in Sonoma County ArTrails for several years. ArTrails takes place this year on October 9 and 10 as well as the 17th and 18th. Therefore, at this time of year, Linda is in full 'creation mode', making sure she has a large and new array of items for her visitors to see and purchase.

Linda's traditional color palette has been the use of primary colors , lots of red, navy and black with intense saturation. However, this year I've noticed a small change to softer colors.

Linda's garments are all her original designs and each one is unique.

Come by the Co-op to see her work and, if you want to travel the ArTrail, pick up the free ArTrails publication available at many stores, the library and on line.

September Artist of the Month

Deborah North is one of our newest members. Deborah grew up on a dairy farm in western Sonoma County and has always had a passion for the outdoors. At the ripe old age of thirteen, Deborah picked up a camera and fell in love with the magic of photography.

Her first love was black and white photography and developing her own images. Soon she added color to her repertoire to capture the incredible variations of tints and hues found in the flora and fauna that surrounded her.

Deborah has a varied selection of landscapes of the county as well of close ups of flowers and wildlife -think butterflies and hummingbirds.

Come see her work!
