March in Rhythm & Blooms Country

The month of March brings the Rhythm & Blooms Fundraiser to Placerville. This is the only major fundraiser of the year to raise funds for the beautiful flowers on downtown Placerville's Historic Main Street that hang on the light poles during the summer months. See below how you can help!

Featured Artists for March

Our two featured artists for March are Don Jassowski and Sara Waugh.

Don Jassowski

Don's photographic prints reflect his interest in nature and its beauty, which he captures with both every-day and unique subjects. His goal is to display in his prints the look and feel of the original scene. Because of his film background, the resulting images are intended to reflect what would have been obtained by normal darkroom techniques.

Don's photograph, Lipstick Flower, is shown on the left.

You can see more of Don's work on his Gold Country Artists Gallery web page.

Sara Waugh

Sara has been drawing all of her life thanks to her Grandfather. Sara is currently attending The Art Institute of California in Sacramento, where she is earning her degree in Digital Filmmaking and Video Production. She hopes to pursue a career in story board artwork and creation.

Her drawings are always interesting and her current work reflects various objects that she renders in a very realistic fashion. One of Sara's drawings, Straw Hat, is shown on the left.

You can see more of Sara's work on her Gold Country Artists Gallery web page.

Third Saturday

On the third Saturday of March, March 19, Gold Country Artists Gallery will be participating in the ArtWalk in downtown Placerville. Our two wonderful Featured Artists (Don & Sara) will be at the Gallery to talk about and show you their work.

We will also have music by Caroll Tuttle & Friends and light refreshments.

We hope you can come to Gold Country Artists Gallery and help us celebrate the last day of winter!

The third Saturday of the month is also the evening of the Rhythm & Blooms Fundraiser. If you would like to help, go here to find out information and buy tickets.
