Light at Antelope Canyon by Nelah Gabler 44J

All my life all forms of art, theatre performance, set design and artistry, collage, and ceramics, has been the one constant life force, offering reward and building self esteem along the way. Since 1978 I have been teaching youth ages 4-18 art in some form and planting seeds of success and creativity. A happy parent who loved what her kids were doing in art class in preschool, changed my direction by offering a job in the arts at a county art facility, The Art Place-Mt. VIew. This is where I stayed and eventually managed, including my teaching years, for over 20 years. Each day I worked with amazing staff, artists and patrons. In 2015 I retired and now I choose when and where I do all of the above. Art Every Day is my mantra and it feeds my soul. Since retirement I have forwarded my love of collage by seeking out inspiring artists to help teach me new techniques in collage or painting. I would like to recognize and thank Elizabeth St. Hilaire and Ali Kay for both being generous with their talents and time, a gift that keeps on giving.
