Featured in the West Wing in May is “Mohave Metal and Fiber” by Morongo Basin artists Karin Skiba, Kathi Klopfenstein and Holly Rae Wind, three artists who create fine art but use methods that were historically considered craft techniques. All these techniques date back to ancient times with fiber, weaving, and metal, yet basketry becomes sculptures with twist and energy, weaving uses photos beads and other media to form collages, and jewelry has morphed into steel and copper wall adornments.

MOHAVE METAL AND FIBER

On my way to the sun – Kathi Klopfenstein

Hiding in the grasses – Holly Rae Wind

Night Owl – Karin Skiba

The East Gallery features Yucca Valley artist Hiroko Momii’s vibrant and harmonious abstract paintings and drawings titled “My Journey to Freedom: Search for Self”. These works are her contemplation on freedom from the limitations she grew up with as a result of childhood trauma. This has turned into a spiritual quest and painting is a meditation to reach the deepest, silent space of vast consciousness. She hopes the paintings help the viewer on their own journey.
