Artist Statement:
Ann and Jon have enjoyed collaborating together since they met at San Jose State when Jon was a design student and Ann was studying for her B.A. in art. In 1974 they started their business, Midnight Moon, and began showing their work at Renaissance Faires on the West Coast.
A desire to create artworks inspired by her Celtic heritage led Ann to design the majority of the work they offer at the gallery. "Through their symbolic designs, the Celts stressed our connection with nature, and we carry on the tradition. Our goal is to create decorative items for the garden and home, that are considered works of art. A garden requires a commitment of time and work, and the vision to see what a haven it can become. We consider it an honor to have our work placed in someone’s garden."
Most of their designs are conceived and sculpted in clay by Ann. Some pieces take several weeks to carve. Then Jon makes a mold and casts each piece by hand using a special formulation of Portland cement and sand. Careful hand-finishing and colored acid wash stains give their stones and plaques a weathered, antique look. In the final step, each piece is sealed with a masonry sealer to make it weather-proof. Jon also creates one-of-a-kind pieces limited to one edition, that are more abstract, and have elements of the ocean and the coast in their designs.
Ann is an accomplished watercolor artist, with watercolor, pen and ink, and silk painting her favorite mediums. She enjoys painting many different subjects, inspired by the natural beauty of our area. Ann also teaches watercoloring painting for Mendocino College. The Maglinte’s live and work outside of Willits in a rambling home and studio with their family, two dogs and three cats.
