Life drawing by Jean Nichols
Felt Kimono by Lise Poulsen
Lise Poulsen, who contributed many felt pieces to the show, has been fascinated by the possibilities of working with fibre for over 25 years, starting with handmade paper and, more recently, getting totally hooked on wet felting. Her work is colorful with plenty of texture, and the beautiful surroundings inspire her in the hills of northern New Mexico and her memories of the English countryside. She still finds time to create felt creatures, delicate vessels, and art. The Kimonos in this show are expressions of her love for combinations of color and texture and her deep interest in Japanese culture and art.
"Art of Self Care" Closing Show featuring Jean Nichols and Lise Poulsen will be held at MAH Creative on March 11th from 1-4pm. MAH Creative is located at 14197 State Road 75 in Penasco across from the Pensco Post Office. To make an appointment for a private viewing at MAH Creative call 505 577 2066.
MAH Creative is a new gallery and local gift shop across from the Peñasco Post Office in what was formerly Nancy McLendon’s “Walking Woman Art Gallery.” The Gallery has been recently re-opened by Mary Arose Hines-Martinez, an artist and designer with roots in Peñasco. The inspiration came from visiting the local artists in the Peñasco area during the High Road Art Tour. Mary observed, “I realized there was so much local talent in this area and few spaces for artists to display their art year-round. After seeing local artists' awesome work, I felt moved to open the Gallery and begin displaying the community’s work.” The Gallery currently features a broad spectrum of fine arts and crafts by local artisans. The Gallery will be open primarily around the peak hours of the Sugar Nymphs Cafe. You can set up an appointment by calling 505 577 2066 or stop by when you see the open sign! The Gallery is located at 14197 NM-75, Peñasco, NM 87553.
