Introducing Galerita Rincón!

We are very excited to announce the latest studio addition, the tiniest gallery in Baja…
Galerita Rincón : a small space for big art
Newly installed just outside the Earth Art Studio gate, this micro-gallery will showcase mini-exhibitions each spotlighting a single artists work that rewards a closer look. It’s just one more reason to visit us!
We’ve been quietly working on this project all summer and are so excited to finally have it installed. And it lights up at night! Gah- it’s so cute!
November Studio News
the journey + the destination
Getting to Earth Art Studio takes some doing, you won’t just stumble upon us, but we think that the journey is just as much fun as the destination. You may not have dirt roads and cows on your daily commute but this is just a day in the life here in Las Playitas. Here’s a little reel I made for instagram, thought I’d share here too, enjoy meeting our local herd and discovering what a Baja traffic jam is.
workshop schedule
We have a really great line up of workshops at the studio this season! I’m especially excited to learn new skills and get creative with materials that are new to me! Hope you can join us for one or more sessions!
And stay tuned because we might be adding a few more classes to the schedule!
All materials are provided, no experience is necessary but space is limited.
inspiration for new work
This summer the desert plants on our property have been growing like crazy – I swear that you could watch them grow if you just sat down for long enough. The desert is opportunistic in that way, when there is water, the switch is turned on and everything goes for it. When there isn’t water, the switch is off and everything goes dormant and is questionably dead looking.
I have always made wiggly spiral forms in my work from the very beginning, so sometimes it feels so comfortable to go back to these shapes. These shapes are everywhere in nature from seashells to water flow to wood grain. Here I’m seeing the tendrils of vines creeping across the desert, the aloe leaves growing and lizard tails whipping. It’s so fun to take these newer inspirations and create older familiar forms in a new way and new combination. I’m not sure if I’ll make more of these or if they will evolve into something else, but I’m enjoying having them in the studio and watching them talk to each other.
new events calendar

Just a heads up that we have a new events calendar posted on the Earth Art Studio website: Events Calendar. You can subscribe to the calendar so that you don’t miss out on anything. But, if that’s too much, you can also add individual events to your personal digital calendar so all the details are in one spot. You don’t want to miss out on things like Open Studios or the opening of our next group exhibition Atmosphere and we have plans in the works for a new Hecho a Mano Mercado going on before the gift giving season. We will be adding more fun things as the details come together, so check back often, but in the meantime, take a peek and put some ‘save the dates’ on your calendar!
