OUR ARTISTS
(Please be prepared to pay each artist separately)
Taylor St. Clair From mud pies and finger painting to butter sculptures, Taylor has been doing art since early childhood. She taught art for 35 years during the day and performed on stage for 30+ years at night. Now you can see her in film or on television (when she gets a role). Her present art forms reveal themselves as wearable fiber art (one of a kind knitted pieces) and photographic cards. (will accept cash and checks)
Dana Clark works with an artist from the Huichol indigenous group in central Mexico to create bracelets that combine traditional beading methods with modern designs and colors. The result is a truly unique piece of jewelry that honors the jewelry-making tradition of the Huichol people yet with a modern twist. A portion of the proceeds of all sales goes back into the artist’s community in Zitacua, Nayarit, Mexico. Dana will also be offering cards she has created from favorite travel shots. When not doing either of these two things, you might find her teaching English or chasing after one of her cats. (new to Hot Grog) (will accept cash and checks)
