ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The original was a commission by my daughter's friend, Nemita Vaughn for her husband's 50th birthday. I did a lot of "sketches" for the final piece and they are offered as prints. One is a set of 3 details of the original idea. The fish is called a "Milkfish" and it is apparently rare to catch them on a fly. The title for the original is The Milkfish that Caught the Fly. As a child going fishing with my parents was a favorite weekend activity.

Born high in the Rocky Mountains in a mining town called Leadville, Colorado on October 6, 1945 My life-long career as a creative artist has given me opportunities to exhibit in Malaga, Spain, New York City, Houston, San Francisco, Denver, The California Center for the Arts Museum Show “Cultural Fusion” in North County, San Diego, and most recently a solo exhibit at Next Gallery, Denver. Numerous one-woman shows include Malaga, Spain, Houston, San Francisco, Denver and at “Archetypos” in Colorado City. Numerous group shows include Malaga, New York City, San Francisco, Denver, Aspen, Boulder, Durango and “Libre” Co. (recall “Drop City” and geodesic domes near Trinidad?) among others. I worked under my married name Kaiser-Nossaman for many years, but have re-claimed my maiden name of Kaiser. Like so many Americans, I am from mixed cultural family and my family history is of immigration except for the Native American, of which I am quite proud. My mother was100% Finnish, and father of German and Mestizo (Native American/Spanish) I grew up living between New Mexico where I developed an affinity for Mexican and Indian Cultures and Leadville, Colorado the two-mile-high historic mining community. I was drawn to symbolism in Latin Catholic rites, the mystical rituals and arts of the Native American culture and the superstitious tales of the hard rock miners, I combine these inspirations with my own relationship between dreams, symbolic imagery and art. Interested in depth psychological work and dream analysis of Carl Jung, I studied “metaphysical” themes, occult practices and art throughout many years and was graduated from Union Institute and University in fine arts and psycho-spiritual studies. I am interested in symbols, both archetypal and personal, an avid champion of the ‘discarded’ object.. tearing down of the old and rebuilding and integrating with the new...even integrating some of my older art pieces and others discovered in thrift stores. I use a variety of media including drawing, oil, watercolor, collage and assemblage, sculpture and jewelry design including “caging” brooches (A Victorian-era technique.) I have four children and four grand-children and continues to work in my Denver and Escondido, California studios. I also spend time in Leadville in a family home as a retreat where I can be peaceful and creative amidst the stunning mountainous beauty of my homeland. I currently share my life with my partner, William Thach, a photographer.
