Sisters and best friends, Hannah and Elisabeth Macy (ages 24 and 27) developed a love for beauty from a very young age. Growing up in a large family of 12, they were home-schooled through all 12 grades. After graduation, they continued their education, taking art classes to learn new techniques and methods. Elisabeth first began taking art lessons from Alicia Garver at the age of 12. Although she had always wanted to be an artist, she had already given up hope. It was too frustrating when she...
I love winter. A roaring fire in the fireplace, a cozy blanket on the couch, a good book to sink into. Winter days seem perfect for reading books saved throughout the busy year, or finding a book so totally unexpected it carries you away from everyday into a totally new space in your head and heart. For this winter Loop TALE, I felt it quite apropos to turn towards winter tales ... Did you know that among a multitude of writers focusing on winter tales, Shakespeare was an early contender?...

Towns, who has been chosen by Adventist Health to be the Artwork Coordinator for the new hospital, has lived in Tehachapi for 18 years with his wife Karen. The fine arts painter was also the featured artist at Gallery 'N' Gifts this last July. Towns is probably best known for his work as background artist for Disney Studios where he worked on such notable films as "The Little...
"What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity ... something like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue." –Henri Matisse. The painter Henri Matisse started painting late in life. He was recovering from an illness and used art as a form of therapy. Perhaps comparing art to a "good armchair" was his way of saying that creating art has healing properties. It certainly did for him. But making art isn't the only way to appreciate and glean from the power of c...

"We are overflowing with gratitude for our very giving community after Thursday night's event," said Christina Scrivner, Adventist Health Tehachapi Valley's manager of...
The beauty and concept of art surrounds us on a daily basis. Mother Earth, the greatest artist of all, fills our hearts and souls with her mountains, forests, lakes, sunsets and snowflakes. But sometimes, life seems so busy we hardly have time to notice the wonders around us. I invite you to allow the creative process to help you rediscover the importance of simple serenity. As an art educator, I have heard many people say, "I've always wanted to do art but I can't even draw a straight line."...

Lucas graduated from high school this year and is...
At Slice of Life Enrichment School, students from 5 to 81 years old have been freed to pursue those dreams with rewarding successes. Susan Minor, owner and director of Slice of Life, has found that those who are reluctant to believe they could paint, or play the piano skillfully, or excel in any of the other disciplines offered, have continually surprised themselves once they take that first step of commitment. Susan, the eldest of nine children, was very much involved in raising her younger sib...
The "adult in the room" is defined as the person in the group who makes level-headed decisions. The adult is the one we look to for wise, measured thinking. The adult is the emotionally, mentally mature person who may serve as a guide and mentor to the younger ones. The adult archetype holds true in many cases, however, at "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" playing at the BeeKay Theatre, the adults in charge are equally as kooky and off-the-wall as the kids. Rona Lisa Perretti (played...

Any self-respecting fan of Alfred Hitchcock will instantly recognize the title of TCT's next production, "The 39 Steps". However, that same fan may be surprised to find the stage play of Hitchcock's thriller to be an unexpected cocktail of espionage and mistaken identity poured over a bare-bones stage of free-flying props and furniture, then served up with a twist of wild slapstick. Cheers! This award-winning comedy calls for the entirety of the 1935 film to be performed with a cast of only...
