Northcoast Artists Welcomes new Guest Members
Kristin Coddington-Gordon of What Now Ceramics is a ceramic artist living on the Mendocino Coast. She is a fierce fighter for the environment, a mother of three creative half wild daughters and married to a guy who knows not to get in the way of what she is doing.
Each sculpture is made by hand without the use of a mold, making each piece unique and individual. The sculptures are raku fired and waxed with beeswax. The wood used in Kristin’s sculptures is in collaboration with her husband Bob Gordon. Bob mills local, reclaimed and salvaged woods and finishes these pieces with beeswax. By creating sculptures of struggling species, Kristin gives animals a voice. The message is left undefined but is clearly in reference to environmental collapse. She hopes her art stirs up an emotion prompting others to do what they can. The question is asked. What now? |
Hi I’m Patti. The new kid on the block. New to Fort Bragg and the beautiful and iconic NBA gallery. I love to paint! and find sheltering in place conducive to this passion. Sprinkle in some long beach walks, soup concocting, a phone conversation with a friend, time spent in the gallery, a really good cup of coffee, and you have a peek into my world. I paint with the intention of spreading calm, comfort, stillness, and joy. Especially during these times. If I’m not thinking about the painting I’m working on then I’m thinking of the one I want to start. Peace to our world. Now.

"I am always aiming for cheerful and bright images! I enjoy sharing and showing local wildlife, nature photography that’s captured on the Mendonoma Coast. I have the best time being out in nature following feathers, rainbows, a feeling or a breeze. I have met many talented local photographers and I feel fortunate to learn from them. Staying creative is important for all of us. Natural treasures surround us on the coast, and there is always a chance you’ll find something golden or special. I share my pictures to cheer people up, to cheer them on, to remind them of what they can find on an adventure, and to hearten people to keep going. Everyday brings changes; even beaten paths can lead to new experiences." - Gail Jackson

Congratulations to Cynthia Sumner for becoming a full time member!
Cynthia Sumner takes her inspiration from the natural world, working in themes that suggest transformation. She often works between abstract expressionism, investigating the exquisiteness of form through both paint and clay using layering, scrapping, incising, drawing, and molding until the image reflects her own internal landscape.

Our members would like to thank everyone for their continued support throughout these challenging times. Now that we've reopened, we hope you'll soon stop by and see the wonderful art and fine craft our artists have made over these past few months.
At present, our gallery is only open Fridays through Monday, 11am to 4pm, but we're cautiously optimistic about the future. We're doing our part to follow the county's health guidelines, hoping that the measures will keep everyone safe while they enjoy their visit to the beautiful Mendocino Coast. Hopefully, by the Summer of 2021 we can offer more visiting hours and more business days.
For those who can't visit, be sure to check out the below links our members' online stores. Many of the same items that we normally sell at our physical location in Fort Bragg, California are also offered there.
Sincerely, everyone at Northcoast Artists
