ARTrails Open Studios What are ARTrails artists doing now that the big weekends are over for another year? Events, exhibits, classes, adventures, quiet times replenishing in nature or in the studio? If you missed a studio, or want to revisit, most of us are available by appointment all year round, so keep that catalogue handy!

The luxury of being set up at home allowed me to pack everything away without the frenzy that usually accompanies shows. Now, I'm gearing up for three shows in November (two on the same weekend!), a small local one in December, and sorting pieces for two gallery exhibits over the holidays. I'm also in R&D mode from my artists' residency spent at Pilchuck in July; deadline for a major gallery show looming and I'm still honing my new art pieces! No rest here, and yes, I'm available by appointment!

This was my first year participating in ARTrails and I already know it will be my favorite show of the year. Customers were steady, curious, complimentary and shopping! I loved being able to show test pieces, the step-by-step process of my glass art and spreading out all my inventory at home. Thanks everyone for a great first year!

Since we've run out of wall space inside for art, we commissioned Frank Schuller to create a piece for the exterior of our house.

Lisa What a treat it was to go out & visit some of my fellow artists for a change while taking a sabbatical for the year. I loved seeing your studios, & getting to appreciate ArTrails from the viewer's side for a bit. What an awesome organization you are! Between working in a different studio location, & developing work al...ong some new lines, it seemed a good time to take a break; sorry for any confusion or disappointment to any of my regular visitors. I hope to see you all soon.

Nina Bonos What varied weather we had for ARTrails this year. This was my 22nd year hosting ARTrails open studio and it's still a high point of my year. Never know who is going to walk in the door, or what they are going to say or do. Even as a veteran ARTrails artist, I must admit that this is still a bit unnerving sometimes. I ...love sharing my work and telling stories. Thanks to all my visitors for your insights, your appreciation, and of course- your art purchases. Supporting local artists is not only good for our Sonoma County economy, it enables us, as artists, to continue creating and doing what we love.

Stephanie Mickelson

Stephanie Mickelson I was looking for a glass artist that I visited and bought from last year in Santa Rosa. She shared a studio on Soputh A Street in Santa Rosa. She was not on Art Trails this year. I think she also has a studio in Occidental. Does anyone remember her name??
