Local Art Walk

Madeline Jachim

Tap. Create. Express.

I am a tap dancer/tap teacher in the community. I live in Oceanside and teach at Carlsbad Dance Centre. My art is tap dancing and my mission is to communicate to my audience through rhythm and sound. Tap dance is a unique art because it is non-verbal yet can speak such important messages to the audience. Tap is its own language. It is intricate, rhythmic and compelling and I want to share this language with my community!

Nathan James

Whether you catch Nathan James as his true one man band pickin' and scratchin' on his own invention of washboard guitar, stomping out time on his custom suitcase drum set while singing and blowing harmonica or kazoo; or leading his new trio, you are sure to be moved and impressed with the unique energy and soul that he possesses.

Ruth Jameson

A lasting love affair with the images of Henry Moore, and Rodin are my guiding truth. Both sculptors had their own unique genre, and both were true unto their inner drummer.

Finding Bronze was my doorway to the visions always there in my heart. The strength of bronze gave birth to forms and connected them to the silver strands that drift down through time which become blended into my own visions of time and human awareness. The Sea is the underlying web that holds this world of desires together, and the bronze makes it possible.
