All Day Arts of Bear Valley Window Gallery April Artists
Arnold, CA...Artists Janet Alcalde and Margaret Sloan will exhibit paintings and photographs in Arnold Shopping Center window gallery. Jan Alcalde and Margaret Sloan exhibit nature-inspired art at Meadowmont Shopping Center in Arnold.





Photographer and watercolorist Janet Alcalde joins with painter Margaret Sloan to exhibit artworks centered on nature at the Arts of Bear Valley Window Gallery at Meadowmont Shopping Center in Arnold. You’ll be able to view their work from April 1 to April 30.

Jan Alcalde has been dabbling with photography for years and took up watercolor in retirement.  Her images are inspired by the wonders of nature and the Sierra Nevada.  She is also hopelessly enchanted by the beauty of New Mexico and the southwest in general, returning whenever possible to enjoy and capture its magic.

Sloan’s soft watercolors and oil paintings focus on still lifes, portraits, and landscapes, all related to her love of nature. “So many of us feel adrift these days,” she said. “My artwork holds space for the viewer to connect with nature, other people, and ultimately, themselves.”

The Arts of Bear Valley Window Gallery is window space donated graciously by the Meadowmont Shopping Center where Arts of Bear Valley artists exhibit their work to the public. Artwork is for sale; information at the space gives instructions to purchase the artwork. Contact Alcalde at 209-728-33656 or jalcalde@comcast.net or Sloan at 650/823-5538 or www.margaretsloan.com to learn more about their work and purchase directly from them.)

Arts of Bear Valley is a local association devoted to developing and promoting the visual arts along the Upper Highway 4 corridor in Calaveras and Alpine counties. Learn more about Arts of Bear Valley at www.aobv.com.
