February 5th, 2010 Featured Artist:
“The works for this installation were inspired by my two pet Pacific Parrotlets, Pie and Salsa. Parrotlets are the smallest species of parrots kept in
captivity yet their personalities are like those of a much larger parrot.
They are intelligent, active and feisty. They look cute and cuddly, and they can be...sometimes. The rest of the time they're sneaky and mischievous and know how to get what they want. They act like spoiled children sometimes, but I wouldn't have them any other way. Their silly antics are a source of constant amusement. This series came from my love and fascination for my feathered friends, I have tried to communicate their vibrant personalities through the use of pattern and color and with a variety of mediums”.

First Friday Art Hunt
Meet Inspector Lapin, he is the First Friday Detective. Each month he will give you clues to collect art treasures. Each First Friday, at 6:30pm Inspector Lapin’s image will be revealed in one of the participating First Friday venues (provided in the clue). The first person to find Inspector Lapin’s image and return it to the venues owner walks home with the First Friday Art Treasure.
February’s First Friday Art Treasure:
Sarah Musgrave
"Heart of glass"
acrylic on canvas
Valued at $300
CLUE:
This month’s clue leads you to a long standing First Friday venue. In Latin, it’s name sujests fault or culprit, however don’t be fooled, this venue does not translate into Latin. “Mea”.
Good Luck on your hunt!
“I am just being myself, trying to do my music and art as a career and enjoy life with the ones I love before it passes me by.”
Sarah Musgrave, Artist - Santa Cruz
