The Tahoe Art League is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting fine art and art education on the South Shore of Lake Tahoe since 1964.
We provide free monthly art demonstrations for the public, art workshops, classes, summer outdoor shows, fine art exhibits, college scholarships and many other activities.
Heidi Reeves, a distinguished member of North Tahoe Arts, will do a presentation for the Tahoe Art League at their June 10 meeting. Heidi has been creating beautiful watercolors for years and has recently been working in pastels. She will treat us to a pastel demonstration.
Heidi writes: "Art has been a part of my life since my birth. My Grandmother was an oil painter and from the age of 7 or 8, I remember spending weekends with her; she would set me up with an easel and brushes and show me how to create magic.
I loved the smell and feel of the paints. The magic was put on hold while I married and raised a family. In 1979, we moved to North Lake Tahoe, but it wasn't until 1992, that I took my first watercolor class. I was totally hooked!
I have had no formal training in art, but. I have been blessed to have attended workshops taught by some of the best watercolorist in America: Tom Lynch, Tony Couch, Dale Laitenin, Howard Rees, Jan Kunz and Judi Betts. I love painting, everything from landscapes to portraits, and started teaching classes in 2001 in Tahoe, Reno and Grass Valley. I had a one woman show at North Tahoe Art Center, in 2003, and in 2005, participated in the European Show at Pogan Gallery. More recently, my work was in a Small Painting Show at Pogan Gallery and at Lakeside Gallery. My work can be seen at North Tahoe Arts Gift Shop.
My love for art is truly a gift from God and when anyone sees my work and is touched emotionally by one of my paintings, I feel like I am giving that gift back to him. Living in Tahoe for 29 years has only in-creased my awe of creation and love. I hope that I can capture a minute part of that beauty on paper.
My new art interest is the medium of pastels and it is opening up a whole new awareness of color and texture. I love it all!!!"
