Teacher's Corner

This year we are proud to announce that we will have a "Teacher's Corner" at the auction.  Not only do our local art teachers support their students for this project, but they have created artwork of their own to be auctioned off as well.   Make sure you thank these two when you see them!

Ocean Bowl

Etched and painted glass light fixture with ceramic and spray paint base

I wanted to create an open ocean, deep water fishbowl with creatures that would never be in a fish bowl.  The deep blue sea is pretty foreign to us in Missoula, and might as well exist in our imaginations, trapped in a fishbowl.  My intention was to paint the inside blue and let the sea creatures show through, but the etching disappears with the inside paint.  I'm happy and honored to participate in the WOY project with my own creation rather than just by helping my students.

My Soul Sings

Etched Acrylic Paint on Glass

I was inspired by my students’ artwork, so I decided to do a piece myself.  What a great project, raising money and awareness to encourage the kids in a tough place.
