Sayulita Seis in the Peach Gallery, Aug 2010

caraanderson — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:15:42 +0000

“The Sayulita Seis,” a group of six women from Golden, began painting together in 2003 when they travelled together to Sayulita, Mexico. Spending a week in two adjoining casitas, they shared many artistic endeavors and discussions, and carried the supportive energy generated there back home with them. Seven years later they continue to meet at least once a month to paint, critique, and discuss art. The fruits of their labors will be on display in the Peach Gallery from August 13 through September 6.

“The Sayulita Seis,” representing diverse backgrounds and many artistic media in a talented array of images, are Catherine Haskins, Jean Widman, Jean Bright, Roberta Law, Gayle MacDougall and Marilyn Hogan.
Our Little group formed in 2003 when the six of us went to Sayulita, Mexico to paint for a week. We had known each other, but had not painted together. Getting 6 busy women to land in one place for a week was miraculous. We stayed in two adjoining casitas and shared many artistic endeavors and discussions.

The supportive energy we found in each other down there remained here in the Golden vicinity. Thus, we continue to meet, paint together, critique our paintings, and discuss art at least once a month.

Our paintings have been juried into many shows, taken awards, and are displayed in several venues in Colorado, including the Shadow Mountain Gallery in Evergreen, the Lakewood Arts Council, the Evergreen Artists Association, Barnes and Noble Booksellers, Clear Creek Books in Golden, and The Gilpin County Artists Association Gallery in Central City.
