I visit a lot of galleries and her work has really stuck with me, even weeks later. First introduced to her work in Yosemite where her two books of photography were sold, it was a pure delight to visit the gallery in Truckee. The Changing Range of Light, Portraits of the Sierra Nevada and Brilliant Waters, with a foreword by Robert Redford, are stunning coffee table books. Her work pays homage to historic photographers of the Sierras, but she uses the latest technology to push the boundaries and create surreal images of the natural beauty of the region. You can purchase her prints on a smaller scale for a reasonable price, or easily spend hundreds or thousands when printed on a large scale if you want a statement piece for your home. Recently awarded the commission to provide panoramic murals of the Sierras for the new Donner Memorial State Park Museum, I am excited that her work will be presented on this larger stage. She is quickly becoming one of the most noted photographers in the area. Located at the end of Commercial Row in downtown Truckee, I consider this gallery a must visit when you are in the area. We had the good fortune of meeting her and I'm looking forward to seeing more of her photography of an area I love dearly in the years to come.

I recently attended one of her workshops (this is my 3rd, yes she's that good). This one was at June Lake to view and paint the fall colors. What a great time and wonderful experience. As Piper says, she teaches "how to see" which is the main criteria for painting. Check her out on FB, and Instagram. You'll have the opportunity to view her gallery, her own artwork and learn about future workshops.

It's actually an ambitious, fairly serious art gallery with some really good stuff by local and nationally known painters, scuptors, ceramicists, and so on. But they have to make money, so it also has plenty of kitchy paintings of the lake, wildlife, and night sky. The biggest crowd pleasers, especially for the kids, are some of the most amazing kaleidoscopes I've ever seen. In the interest of responsible art sales, they have a 30-day refund policy and 5-year trade-in policy on much of their collection. They could go a little farther and do blood alcohol tests and relationship compatibility tests before letting couples struggle with the details of shipping a half-ton stone bear.

I was looking for a pair of earrings that would go well with a lot of my neutral everyday wear, something that would be simple yet elegant, but unique and beautiful.

Bonus - no sales tax! When I was leaving, he said, "Thanks for stopping by my home, come back any time."
