Welcome to 5 Acre Arts
    ... an Artist Collective

Lynda Abare hails from the high desert -- north of Phoenix, Arizona.  Her longtime dream of a simple desert house surrounded by wildlife and desert flora came true and provides ample inspiration and motivation for her newest venture, "5 Acre Arts... an Artist Collective". 

We’re glad you came to visit and we hope you’ll discover some new favorite(s) -- check out our Mixed Media, PMC, Chainmaille, Handmade Books and Journals, Repujado (metal embossing), Painted Papers, and more -- just click HERE, or one of the photo inserts below, for electronic access to the artists and their creations at 5 Acre Arts.

May 2009

Triple digits arrived early this year.  Our weather has been unseasonably warm and (I can’t believe I’m writing this) HUMID!  Spring seemed abrupt but prolific.  These last three days we’ve enjoyed especially luscious rainfall.  Dense, low clouds limited our visibility.  Curtains of moisture covered the hillsides and gently kissed our thirsty landscape.

With the weather warming up and monsoon season right around the corner, I plan to spend a lot more time in the studio staying cool and creating -- coaxing those seedling ideas I planted in the spring!

For everyone interested in attending classes, an updated workshop schedule can be found on each individual artist’s Gallery page.
