Millicent’s Magnificent Magic

By Chrystal DeCoster

This past Saturday evening, spring unfolded at The Corner Studio owned by Valerie Pellegrin. Bulbs were popping up in the front yard while bouquets of creativity were visually blooming inside. Artist Millicent Kang from Boulder, wearing a dress cut from cloth similar in palette to that which was exploding on her stretched canvases, cheerily greeted the opening reception’s array of guests.

Poetry Talk - March 7, 2013

Slow the Dance
Let your soul purpose be your sole purpose.
Let your arms float on the air
   all around
Greeting the universe with the
    cosmic sound
Let your knees bend
   one by one
Sink into the earth
   only to rise again.

Slow the dance
   keep the energy high
You’ll make the right steps
For there are no mistakes
When you heart beats pure
   essence of life
Slow the dance
Let the universe in.

“Jobs Of Yesteryear” At The Cup

Lyons artist Tyler Voorhees will be the featured artist at The Stone Cup beginning this Friday, March 1. His show will hang for two months, through the end of April.
From his humble beginnings in rural South Dakota, Voorhees has always been drawn to the art of storytelling. With his paintings, and the characters that inhabit them, he seeks to spin a visual yarn by drawing the viewer in with the composition, and holding their attention with the details. His mixed media paintings depict jobs now forgotten by the majority of Americans, made obsolete by advancements in technology (which are also hidden in the paintings). These occupations existed a mere century ago, yet they have fallen to the wayside in the collective memory of our society.

Today I know that I love you well.
