Jodie Wachsmann

Saturday, June 6, 2010

“Experiencing the fruit of Jodie Wachsmann‘s debut album Hope In The Unseen is like pondering the majesty of a tree in full bloom. Jodie’s first national release is an expression of deep rooted confidence while withstanding the vulnerability of the unknown. It’s also the evidence of a long, arduous journey reminiscent of seed to splendor.”  Read more: http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll&friendId=43439623#ixzz0rQvs8IR1

We think Jodie’s beautiful music makes a great pairing with a nicely chilled Texas wine.  So come on and join us from 4-7 pm.  Music will be indoors (too hot for the lawn!).  Snacks are allowed, but no sneakin’ in beer or alcohol like some silly teenager at the high school prom!  We look forward to Jodie’s performance and hope you can join us.

If you miss Jodie this weekend, she’ll be back to Salado on July 2 & 3 at the Salado Silver Spur theater as part of the special event “Salado’s Got Talent” fundraiser benefitting the American Cancer Society.

Texas Documentary Photography Group Exhibit

Join photographers from the Texas Documentary Photography Group on Friday night, June 4th 6-8 pm for an opening reception and exhibition celebrating wine making in Texas.

The exhibition will continue through July. For more information call 254-947-8011.

The Texas Documentary Photography Group has come together to document the production of wine in Texas-everything from growing the grapes, to highlighting the vineyards, to enjoying the finished products. Making wine in Texas has become big business. From its humble start in the 1662 near present-day El Paso, when Spanish missionaries planted the State’s first vineyard, to its current status as the fifth largest wine producer in the nation, wine making in Texas has become a force and a figure in the industry. The Texas Documentary Photography Group set out to document this by visiting vineyards around the state with the goal of educating and informing fellow Texans as to the different facilities, establishments, wines, and the impact of the wine making industry in Texas. The wine and grape industry has contributed to the state of Texas with an economic impact of 1.35 billion dollars and Texas currently has 190 commercial wineries. The exhibition highlights images from the growing region with the hopes of raising awareness of Texas as a force in wine making.

About The Texas Documentary Photography Group

The Texas Documentary Photography Group was co-founded in 1999 by Jackie Stephens and Pierce Burns. Their work established a group that serves the Central Texas area by providing documentary photographers opportunities for exhibits, networking and technical support. The group meets on the second Monday of the month at the Border’s Bookstore in the Domain Shopping Center, 3309 Esperanza Crossing, Austin, TX to share information and plan future photography exhibits. Members are mainly from the Austin area, although some reside in Georgetown, Fredericksburg, Canyon Lake and Houston. Exhibits are primarily themed photographic studies that allow photographers to not only expand their techniques but also view the results of fellow members.

Opening Reception for Jill Shipman

water

Join Jill Shipman, a Salado artist, on Friday night, April 9, 6 – 8 pm for her opening reception!

The exhibit is located in the galleries of Salado Wine Seller, 841 N Main St, 76571.  If you’re visiting Salado overnight, consider staying at Stonecreek Settlement, Jill’s bed & breakfast in Salado, TX. 

A native of Winnsboro Texas, Jill spent a twenty-five year career in interior decorating and set design which included  teaching color harmony classes that now translate into her rich landscapes.  She began her art carrier at Brookhaven Community College and has studied under several national known artists including Bob Rohlm, Vicky McMurry and Jill Carver, who are painters in the Plein Air style.

Jill’s art features a wide range of style from impressionist to abstract colorist. The central element that defines her art is her bold use of color. She is intrigued by the array of colors produced by the moving light and the wonderful reflections light creates in water.

Show will continue until June 1.  Don’t wait long though, these beautiful paintings will sell quickly and have created much interest.  For more information call 254-947-8011
