On this #NationalNativeAmericanDay we highlight Potawatomi artist, Denny Haskew.  'Strength of the Maker right from its title... to the strength shown even in the toes, is a statement of how I view my very inner belief. Nature and all things natural have always been of the utmost importance to me all my life. Believing in, the Great Spirit, Buddha, Mohammed, the Mysterious One, is important. I feel they all exude the same message; a life of oneness, of love, of honesty and a source of emotional strength. Strength of the Maker is my visual version of how I see my Maker.' -DH  This powerful monumental bronze of a Native American preparing their bow is on permanent display in the Native American Museum of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Other prominent placements of the edition include the Gilcrease Museum, OK; the Barona Band of Mission Indians, CA; Wolf Creek Indian Village and Museum, Bastian, VA; Briscoe Western Art Museum, TX; Flagstaff, AZ; Grand Junction, CO; Cerritos, CA; and Canyon City, CO; and private collections.

Carol Gold 1937-2022

It saddens us to share that Carol Gold passed away August 18, 2022. Her daughter's words embody the loss we all feel, Carol Gold 1937-2022
It saddens us to share that Carol Gold passed away August 18, 2022. Her daughter's words embody the loss we all feel, "The hole she has left is huge." This is true for us on a personal level, as much as it is, a loss to the art community at large.
​

Over the past thirty years, Fairfax, California artist, Carol Gold's work has been widely exhibited in the U.S. and Canada. Her sculpture has received numerous accolades at national exhibitions including the John Cavanaugh Memorial Award from the National Sculpture Society and multiple feature articles in renowned publications.

Carol has been a fellow with the National Sculptors' Guild since 1996. With our design team, the prolific sculptor placed hundreds of smaller works and dozens of public art commissions. Each monumental placement promote a sense of pride and community cohesion where they were installed.
​

"Infinite Dance" is perhaps the closest to a self-portrait of the monuments - depicting a figure dancing joyfully on the top of a stainless steel ring. Carol was both a serious and studious person, she stayed current with politics and social issues, but that glint in her eye as she looks up at you (for most of us) showed her wisdom about the balance of life; to sometimes set all that aside and move to the music.

We are so grateful for the time we have known and worked with Carol Gold to share her creative energy and vision; her artistic legacy will contribute to generations to come. - Alyson and John Kinkade, National Sculptors' Guild

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations are made in Carol’s honor to Democracy Now! KPFA, The Sierra Club, the Marin Land Trust or Planned Parenthood. We've added links to each on the blog post.

We are so grateful for the time we have known and worked with Carol Gold to share her creative energy and vision; her artistic legacy will contribute to generations to come. - Alyson and John Kinkade, National Sculptors' Guild

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations are made in Carol’s honor to Democracy Now! KPFA, The Sierra Club, the Marin Land Trust or Planned Parenthood. We've added links to each on the blog post.

HOMELESS HELP
Governor's Art Show nets big donation for unhoused youths
TEF's Resiliency Fund gets boost
By Will Costello

Proceeds from the Governor's Art Show funded a $28,230 donation to the Thompson Education Foundation's Resiliency Fund for Unhoused Youth, a program that provides help to the students in the Thompson School District that are unhoused.

The Resiliency Fund, which has existed for around a decade, provides help to unhoused students, many of whom are underage and without parents or a legal guardian, in the form of gift cards to pay for groceries and gas, or paying for car repairs or new tires so that students can actually get to school.

"There are a whole variety of supports that other agencies can't provide," said Kim Akeley-Charron, executive director of TEF. This, she explained, is because many of the students the fund helps are both unaccompanied and under 18. The typical services that help minors in financial trouble are administered through parents or guardians, so children without them sometimes fall through the cracks.

An upcoming program operated by the Resiliency Fund will install "resource closets" in all the high schools across the district that will contain necessities like toothpaste and other hygiene items. It also helps graduating seniors afford caps and gowns for graduation ceremonies, and provides scholarships to some of those who are pursuing post-secondary education.

The Governor's Art Show, an annual tradition held in Loveland for decades, has funded the Resiliency Fund for Unhoused Youth for the last six years, said John Kinkade, board member for the Governor's Art Show and one of the main planners of the event. Prior to that, proceeds went to the Loveland and Thompson Valley Rotary Clubs, which jointly put on the event, and would then be spent on philanthropic causes of those organizations choosing.

Then Kinkade, who also serves on the Thompson Valley Rotary Committee that selects art scholarship recipients, encountered a young scholarship applicant who presented a portfolio that struck him. "It was really dark, really severe," he remembered. A fellow committee member asked about the nature of the student's work, and she described a series of harrowing life experiences that culminated in becoming unhoused.

Kinkade, moved, reached out to his friend, Akeley-Charron, to inquire further. "That just kind of blew me away," he said. Akeley-Charron told him that in addition to the young student Kinkade had encountered, there were hundreds more across the district who had similar experiences. He then insisted that in addition to funding the two Rotary Clubs' philanthropic efforts, one-third of the proceeds from the Governor's Art Show be earmarked for the Resiliency Fund.

The show has been donating to the fund ever since, totaling over $100,000 since 2016, Akeley-Charron said when the donation was announced. 

Kinkade, who volunteered the equivalent of six 40-hour workweeks preparing for this year's show, said the program is the primary reason he's still involved with the show. Both Kinkade and Akeley-Charron said that it was rewarding work, and that the recipients, many of whom face challenges unthinkable even to adults, are deserving. "We called it the Resiliency Fund, and that's exactly what these kids show," Akeley-Charron said. "Resiliency, every day."

Tuesday, August 2, 2022 HOMELESS HELP Governor's Art Show nets big donation for unhoused youths TEF's Resiliency Fund gets boost By Will Costello wcostello@prairiemountainmedia.com ​ Proceeds from the Governor's Art Show funded a $28,230 donation to the Thompson Education Foundation's Resiliency Fund for Unhoused Youth, a program that provides help to the students in the Thompson School District that are unhoused.  The Resiliency Fund, which has existed for around a decade, provides help to unhoused students, many of whom are underage and without parents or a legal guardian, in the form of gift cards to pay for groceries and gas, or paying for car repairs or new tires so that students can actually get to school.  "There are a whole variety of supports that other agencies can't provide," said Kim Akeley-Charron, executive director of TEF. This, she explained, is because many of the students the fund helps are both unaccompanied and under 18. The typical services that help minors in financial trouble are administered through parents or guardians, so children without them sometimes fall through the cracks.  An upcoming program operated by the Resiliency Fund will install "resource closets" in all the high schools across the district that will contain necessities like toothpaste and other hygiene items. It also helps graduating seniors afford caps and gowns for graduation ceremonies, and provides scholarships to some of those who are pursuing post-secondary education.  The Governor's Art Show, an annual tradition held in Loveland for decades, has funded the Resiliency Fund for Unhoused Youth for the last six years, said John Kinkade, board member for the Governor's Art Show and one of the main planners of the event. Prior to that, proceeds went to the Loveland and Thompson Valley Rotary Clubs, which jointly put on the event, and would then be spent on philanthropic causes of those organizations choosing.  Then Kinkade, who also serves on the Thompson Valley Rotary Committee that selects art scholarship recipients, encountered a young scholarship applicant who presented a portfolio that struck him. "It was really dark, really severe," he remembered. A fellow committee member asked about the nature of the student's work, and she described a series of harrowing life experiences that culminated in becoming unhoused.  Kinkade, moved, reached out to his friend, Akeley-Charron, to inquire further. "That just kind of blew me away," he said. Akeley-Charron told him that in addition to the young student Kinkade had encountered, there were hundreds more across the district who had similar experiences. He then insisted that in addition to funding the two Rotary Clubs' philanthropic efforts, one-third of the proceeds from the Governor's Art Show be earmarked for the Resiliency Fund.  The show has been donating to the fund ever since, totaling over $100,000 since 2016, Akeley-Charron said when the donation was announced.   Kinkade, who volunteered the equivalent of six 40-hour workweeks preparing for this year's show, said the program is the primary reason he's still involved with the show. Both Kinkade and Akeley-Charron said that it was rewarding work, and that the recipients, many of whom face challenges unthinkable even to adults, are deserving. "We called it the Resiliency Fund, and that's exactly what these kids show," Akeley-Charron said. "Resiliency, every day."  All contents Copyright © 2022 Daily Reporter-Herald. All rights reserved.

Tuesday, August 2, 2022 HOMELESS HELP Governor's Art Show nets big donation for unhoused youths TEF's Resiliency Fund gets boost By Will Costello wcostello@prairiemountainmedia.com ​ Proceeds from the Governor's Art Show funded a $28,230 donation to the Thompson Education Foundation's Resiliency Fund for Unhoused Youth, a program that provides help to the students in the Thompson School District that are unhoused.  The Resiliency Fund, which has existed for around a decade, provides help to unhoused students, many of whom are underage and without parents or a legal guardian, in the form of gift cards to pay for groceries and gas, or paying for car repairs or new tires so that students can actually get to school.  "There are a whole variety of supports that other agencies can't provide," said Kim Akeley-Charron, executive director of TEF. This, she explained, is because many of the students the fund helps are both unaccompanied and under 18. The typical services that help minors in financial trouble are administered through parents or guardians, so children without them sometimes fall through the cracks.  An upcoming program operated by the Resiliency Fund will install "resource closets" in all the high schools across the district that will contain necessities like toothpaste and other hygiene items. It also helps graduating seniors afford caps and gowns for graduation ceremonies, and provides scholarships to some of those who are pursuing post-secondary education.  The Governor's Art Show, an annual tradition held in Loveland for decades, has funded the Resiliency Fund for Unhoused Youth for the last six years, said John Kinkade, board member for the Governor's Art Show and one of the main planners of the event. Prior to that, proceeds went to the Loveland and Thompson Valley Rotary Clubs, which jointly put on the event, and would then be spent on philanthropic causes of those organizations choosing.  Then Kinkade, who also serves on the Thompson Valley Rotary Committee that selects art scholarship recipients, encountered a young scholarship applicant who presented a portfolio that struck him. "It was really dark, really severe," he remembered. A fellow committee member asked about the nature of the student's work, and she described a series of harrowing life experiences that culminated in becoming unhoused.  Kinkade, moved, reached out to his friend, Akeley-Charron, to inquire further. "That just kind of blew me away," he said. Akeley-Charron told him that in addition to the young student Kinkade had encountered, there were hundreds more across the district who had similar experiences. He then insisted that in addition to funding the two Rotary Clubs' philanthropic efforts, one-third of the proceeds from the Governor's Art Show be earmarked for the Resiliency Fund.  The show has been donating to the fund ever since, totaling over $100,000 since 2016, Akeley-Charron said when the donation was announced.   Kinkade, who volunteered the equivalent of six 40-hour workweeks preparing for this year's show, said the program is the primary reason he's still involved with the show. Both Kinkade and Akeley-Charron said that it was rewarding work, and that the recipients, many of whom face challenges unthinkable even to adults, are deserving. "We called it the Resiliency Fund, and that's exactly what these kids show," Akeley-Charron said. "Resiliency, every day."  All contents Copyright © 2022 Daily Reporter-Herald. All rights reserved.

Stop and Smell the Sculptures

While we do find art to fuel the soul and be multi-sensory, we think smelling the flowers will work out better.... ​We've been enjoying the splash of colors throughout the National Sculptors' Guild garden.

We hope you stop by to smell the roses and enjoy the sculptures as well. Shop these pieces and add them to your garden.

Carolyn Barlock: Bear Mountain

$750.00 $600.00

"Bear Mountain" by Carolyn Barlock

2.5" long One-of-a-kind Luster and Gold 

#2/5 necklace pendant (shape is a limited edition form; color and pattern are unique)


ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Carolyn L. Barlock was born in Denver, Colorado to a native Coloradoan family that dates back more than a hundred years to Central City's rush for gold. She started her art education as a young girl at the Colorado Institute of Art. In 1967 she received her Associate Art Degree from Christian College in Columbia, Missouri, now known as Columbia College. Upon returning to Denver, she continued her art education at Loretto Heights College and married Denver attorney Edward S. Barlock in the fall of 1968.


A special interest in the history of art and antiques caused her to commence the study of porcelain art in the spring of 1969. At first, she studied painting flowers, fruits, scenes and portraits on porcelain. She then studied and experimented with secret techniques of porcelain decoration. These techniques fascinated the ancient alchemists. She mastered the secrets of enameled art, dating from The Chinese Ming Dynasty. This once-fired porcelain application, requiring exactitude of line and density, was a form Carolyn had perfected by the early 1980's that first earned her worldwide recognition. While exhibiting her work in internationally renowned galleries and shows, Carolyn continued her scholarly journey of ancient porcelain techniques culminating in her use of 22 Karat Florentine Gold and ancient Persian Lusters dating from 9th Century Baghdad creating pieces of timeless beauty, and exquisite form.


Carolyn Barlock has been an annual participant of Loveland, Colorado's acclaimed show Sculpture in the Park since 1997, Colorado Governor Art Show many times, along with other juried shows and Museum shows and she is featured in Southwest Art's Sculpture of the Rockies: 97 Contemporary and Traditional Artists. As a member since 1976 of the International Porcelain Artists and Teacher Organization she has won gold medals at their International shows and has been featured in their publications. Her work is in private collections throughout the world including the Vatican, when a Chalice made by Barlock was presented to His Holiness Pope Francis by Msgr. Giovanni Fusco, Papal Chaplin, Secretary General for the International Confederation of Apostolic Union of Clergy and Laity, Rome, Italy, during The International Assembly of the Conference of the Apostolic Union of the Clergy on November 16, 2017 in the Hall of the Consistory in the Vatican. She lives in Denver, Colorado with her two sons, Stephen and Mark.

Fall in the Air

10/28/2021

Picture
Fall is in the air in Colorado - we've had a beautiful mild season and the trees and other foliage have been providing splashes of color throughout the National Sculptors' Guild sculpture garden.

Always fun to see how the change in seasons gives outdoor sculpture a different look. Like look how that peek of blue from Stephen Shachtman's sculpture plays off the bright red leaves! And Jane DeDecker's golden patina on Iris shines. The stone of Ted Fleming's stone carvings against vibrant oranges, and the bits of color raining over Darrell Davis' deer and other sculpture is all breath taking.

Always something new to see in the garden thanks to Mother Nature.

Kim Crumbo

We are grieving the loss of a great friend, conservationist and human being. Kim Crumbo, a former Navy SEAL and retired National Park Service ranger, has been a close friend to National Sculptors' Guild sculptor Denny Haskew since high-school, and as a result became a dear friend to many more of us in the gallery and Guild.  His disappearance in Yellowstone last month has been difficult to face. Kim’s words shared to a fellow conservationist ring true to us, and we are certain they shall serve to inspire next generations to take care of the planet as Kim always hoped.  Please read this tribute by Camilla Fox, https://rewilding.org/honoring-kim-crumbo/  And check out the following to learn more about Kim Crumbo and his efforts with Rewilding Institute... https://rewilding.org/kim-crumbo/  Backstory: “In mid-September, rangers began searching for 74-year-old Kim Crumbo of Ogden and his brother, 67-year-old Mark O’Neill of Chimacum, Washington, after the pair was reported missing. Crumbo and O’Neill, National Park Service retirees, had been on a four-night backcountry trip to Shoshone Lake.  Park crews found a vacant campsite with gear on the south side of Shoshone Lake. A canoe, paddle, personal floatation device, and other personal belongings were located on the east shore of the lake. During the morning of Monday, Sept. 20, Yellowstone officials say the body of O’Neill was found along the east shore of Shoshone Lake.  On Sept. 24, rangers announced the search for Crumbo was shifting from a rescue situation to a recovery. The change came after days of searching the Shoshone Lake shoreline by boat, swept trails in the area, and searched open waters by helicopter.  Wednesday, Yellowstone rangers confirmed the National Park Service’s Submerged Resources Center is using sonar equipment to detect clues in the water of where Crumbo may be. Park crews are also searching for Crumbo by foot and boat with help from the Grand Teton National Park’s interagency helicopter and dog teams from Western Montana Search Dogs. This comes after an autopsy determined O’Neill died of hypothermia.  According to rangers, search efforts for Crumbo will continue for the next several days as conditions warrant. The incident remains under investigation. If you were in the Shoshone Lake area between Sept. 12-19 and have any information that could help investigators piece together what happened, you are asked to contact Yellowstone rangers at 307-344-2428 or yell_tip@nps.gov”  #kimcrumbo #rewilding #rewildinginstitute #projectcoyote #wildlandsnetwork #wildarizona #yellowstonenationalpark #conservationist

We had a wonderful time hosting lunch for the Booth Western Art Museum Collector’s Tour of Colorado.  The group filled two 40-passenger buses with art appreciators from around the nation. We also had several of our artists meet with the collectors in the National Sculptors’ Guild sculpture garden.  The tour included several Loveland artist studios and gardens. We were happy to give them some nourishment before their next artful stop.  As you can see we lucked out with a beautiful Colorado Fall day. Our chimenea warmed us up as the wind picked up, but the rain stayed off.  #BoothMuseum #boothmuseumofwesternart #BoothMuseumCollectorsTour #SteamboatArtMuseum #ArtTour #ArtCollectorsAreOurPeople #ArtfulFallDay #Colorado #Loveland #ILiveLoveland #NationalSculptorsGuild #NSG #SculptureGarden #ArtandFlowers #MastiffWithCookies #FeedYourCreativeSpirit #BlueSkyDay #ArtCollectors
