KATHERINE SCHAD
SARA SMITH
Sara's work is inspired by the intersection of human and wild… we desire to touch something that is unaltered and deeply rooted, and by doing so we change it and it changes us. We crave true wilderness and an experience of something far from pavement. These pieces have been created using a mix or modern and traditional techniques… spray paint, graffiti materials, sometimes building remnants and reclaimed materials… to depict images of the wild world with which we seek to connect.

She derives much inspiration from the beautiful surroundings Nevada county has to offer, as is exemplified by her Frozen Fall series. She loves to work with her hands whether it be with clay, wood, paper or pixels. She enjoys all aspects of art, especially when a story is told. Sarah currently contracts to push pixels for Truckee’s independent newspaper Moonshine ink.
PIPER JOHNSON
I love capturing the experience of being outside in the natural environment and radiating that ambiance and energy in a home. This encourages me to create rhythm and movement by weaving multiple paint layers in and out to suggest water rippling, light changing, shadows moving, temperatures warming and cooling, or the wind coming up and dying down. I can never reproduce the same painting just like If I go back another day to the same spot, it’s just never the same. A Boston native, skiing brought her to Tahoe in the mid 1990’s. She lives in Truckee.

NOGA WIZANSKY
My studio practice merges a fidelity to the material and social worlds with delight in the expressive possibilities of charcoal, paper, paint and discarded materials. I am interested in land/landscape, people, shadows, and texts, and am committed to a visual rhetoric that combines deliberation with rawness. I gravitate toward malleable, inexpensive materials and don’t strive to create artIfacts that look finished or highly resolved. These choices allow me to explore visual expressions akin to poetry, resistance to certitudes, my own lived relation to contested lands, and preference for living in between spaces of all kinds.

REBECCA LAMOLY
I paint individuals enjoying simple everyday pleasures to remind us that joy is always possible. We smile when we observe others enjoying a good book on a park bench, jumping in waves, or strumming guitars with friends. There are daily gifts and if we choose to see them, we regain wonder.
KARIN LAWLER
Fascination with light, shadow, and color – inherited from three generations of artists - have taken many forms and paths throughout my life. The resulting mixed-media art echoes the journey of inner exploration, questions, and loving expression. Alarm for the natural world, my work is an offering - to the beauty and wonder I derive from the natural landscapes and the love that enriches life. If art can reach hearts and touch minds to make positive change - I can think of no greater success an artist could achieve.

JENNY LONG
I work in various painting mediums. Figures and a sense of place are evident in my work.
REENIE McMAINS
Living in the natural playground of Tahoe, Reenie hikes, snowshoes, and paddles in some of the most delightful scenery in the world. The visual stimulation of light play, textured meadow grass, and coastal colors inspire her to pour inky messes on glass, metal, and gesso boards, then blow, swipe, and swirl until nature’s patterns reveal themselves. She believes her artwork is a celebration of what’s beautiful in a world where it’s becoming the default to see the ugliness. Always the individualist, Reenie prefers the abstract style because it flaunts perfectionism, and allows the viewer to interpret the message.
KATHY TRIOLO
I use photography as a means to document the everyday world around me. I make pictures that call attention to things that other people might overlook or consider mundane. This exploration of the mundane helps me be more fully present in my everyday life. My goal is to make photographs that make the viewer go “AHA, I never noticed that!” and draw them into the beauty of the mundane. I use my photography to explore worlds that can only happen in fantasy and fiction. I enjoy incorporating people in my worlds where they can explore their inner world of delight.
