Wild About Books hosts artists reception Oct. 22

CLEARLAKE – When Wild About Books opened in April the owners thought adding local art to the bookstore would be a great idea.


When we invited the community to share their art in the bookstore, we thought we would meet a few talented artists. We found out that there is an enormously creative community of artists in our community and we want to celebrate it! This is your chance to meet one of the artists that have their art in the bookstore. You can ask questions about their art and art process. You will see some unfinished pieces and works in progress.


The artists currently showing and selling their art in the bookstore are:


  • Constance Blackwell's Japanese folk tale art are currently being shown in the Bay Area, but her prints and other mediums are available for view and purchase.

  • Mary Beth Alternader’s art selections show the range of this artist moving from watercolor to oil and acrylic paints, but also in themes as well, you will see still life, landscape and many local birds.

  • Cathy Davis, her giftable items range from decorative wine bottles to delicate sculptures.

  • Donna Crawford, known to many as the “Bag Lady,” her one-of-a-kind purses, bags and totes are made from amazing fabrics and colors.

  • Rosemary Dontje’s polymer clay creations can be special ordered for amazing conversation piece gifts.

  • Raul Gilbert, photographer has captured photos of Lake County and more.

  • Andi Gletty currently is displaying gift cards from her colored pencil prints, many with a spiritual theme.

  • Local gourd artists Queenie Moon and Rebecca Stark have many fine creations.

  • Doug Marble’s wooden inlaid sculptures have made great bookend gifts for book lovers.

  • Internationally known weaver Sheila O’Hara’s The Flockettes, Egyptian dogs and stunning landscapes are on display.

  • Zack Peters is the book store muralist and current window painter, his tie-dye shirts are currently for sale.

  • Amanda Rawlings is our Enchanted Lass whose dragonfly and fairy jewelry and bookmarks are wonderful gifts.

  • JP Sarlande’s watercolor drawings are breathtaking showing the color brilliance of our Lake County skies.

  • Thomas Yuhas is a well-traveled photographer who is currently showing photo art he has taken over the years.
