Within the mission of the Ah Haa School, we seek to provide opportunities to artists of all ages and backgrounds to grow as artists, work in collaboration, and show and sell artwork. We have two indoor exhibition spaces, the Daniel Tucker Gallery and East Room Gallery, as well as a large deck on the river, prime for exhibiting outdoor sculpture. Ah Haa’s galleries display the works of both developing and established artists, local artists and inspiring artists outside of our community.
Artists are selected by invitation, through specific calls for entry and through juried applications. Please see the link below to download and submit an application. The Ah Haa School has attracted many prominent artists and art professionals who have served as instructors and visiting artists; among them, Julie McNair, Meredith Nemirov, Kelvyn Davila and many more.
Through this vital, exciting, and ever-changing program, visual artists have the opportunity to exhibit their work. As a result, area artists and the public are able to view the most current work from the region and beyond, and artists are encouraged to share their artistic achievements and sell their work.

My paintings are the visual way I experience the world. They tell my story and they tell yours. The spiral of a conch shell, the patina of rusted metal, an act of human kindness, all inspire me to paint. A line of poetry or the sinuosity of a river inspire me to paint. The universal nature of our collected stories inspires me to paint. There is a sacredness in all these things that nourishes me and my art.
As a naturalist, I have kept field journals for years , recording the world around me in words and sketches. These journals, and nature itself, were my first teachers. Through workshops with other artists and by feeling my way with brush, pen, pigment and paper, I continue to discover my own voice as an artist. I work primarily in water based paints, walnut and sumi ink, graphite and a multitude of collage materials - from scraps of paper used for testing colors, to the metal on wine bottles, to pages torn from bride magazines. In each painting I strive to capture both the ordinary and the sacred, both the personal and the universal.
“Instructions for living a life: pay attention, be astonished, tell about it.” Mary Oliver
