New Artists – Helpers Artisan Boutique:
Amanda Winkler, Art Explorers, Fort Bragg, CA
“Doing art calms me down. I feel happy while I’m planning a design and working on my pictures.” Amanda is a mixed media artist, producing work that incorporates text, stenciled images, cut-out paper, and felt pen drawing. She also enjoys making jewelry and doing ceramics.
Cindy Johnson, Cedars, Ross, CA
“Butterflies, flowers, and ladybugs float through Cindy’s artwork. Often, they fill the sky in dizzying profusion, giving a buzzing energy to her Edenic vision. Sometimes she will include herself and her boyfriend, always smiling in their garden world. Her abstract colored pencil drawings exhibit the same sophisticated wealth of pattern and pure color…”
Sarah Carlson, Big Wave Project, Half Moon Bay, CA
Sarah Carlson is an artist at heart. After surviving a malignant brain tumor and the treatment that saved her life, Sarah was left with a variety of cognitive and physical challenges. Given her disabilities, Sarah, with the support of her parents, decided that pursuing college and a career was not a life path that made sense for her. Instead, Sarah has focused on pursuing her passion, art. Sarah loves to create and works in a variety of media, including acrylics, watercolors, pastels, collages, quilling, and quilting. Color and composition are her specialties. Sarah also loves to work with children. She especially enjoys leading groups of kids in arts and crafts projects where she can share her passion for art.
Two Can Art, Santa Cruz, CA
Helpers Artisan boutique features new greeting card art from Santa Cruz artist Patti Gay and her son, Noah, who is autistic. Noah paints all textures his mom uses in her palette, using paints, brushes, rollers, fingers, and bubbles to create the textures. The result is a beautiful collaboration of art.

Brian with Michele from the Pomeroy Center and Paivi, Pomeroy Center Supervisor
“I liked the hotel because of the hot tub and swimming pool. I liked all roller coasters: star wars ride where I flew and pushed buttons, the train roller coaster (big thunder), the dark roller coaster (space mountain) the upside down roller coaster (incredi coaster). I met Pluto who liked my shirt because he was in it. I saw the new fireworks show two times. I traded pins and I found Mickey and a Goofy pin. It’s just like me and my friend Giorgi. “ – Brian
