Lost in Highland Park

Where else but in North East Los Angeles will you find Dulcimer Barbies, a mythological creature named Pink Buddha (who cultivates baby-headed flowers) and Cucuy the wonder-bird?

In conjunction with the 18th Annual Arroyo Arts Collective Discovery Tour: North By Northeast, the home studio of the irreverent raconteur Terri Lloyd will be host to this mix of music, performance, visual art, student docents, and yes, bird.

The Dulcimer Barbies feature the airy yet grounded harmonies of Erin Rametta and Barbara Horosko-Nichols. This duet are singer/songwriters who share a love for Americana and Roots music, playing various instruments including dulcimer, guitar, violin and Peruvian percussion.

Barbara is also an accomplished fine artist whose work has been shown in galleries on the West Coast, New York, Montana and Alaska. Her paintings are in public and private collections with one as part of the permanent collection of MOMA, New York.

Monica Marsh is a female chauvanist who works in multi-media in which the visual reflects the mundane and feminine of everyday life. She is also an entrepreneur who creates alchemical mists and is a founding member of The Haggus Society.

Terri Lloyd takes great comfort in not fitting in. Is she a designer? A graphic artist? Fine artist? Or none of the above? It doesn’t matter to her. She has things to say and she says them, her way –in pink pajamas or with over-sized graphic statements that poke into the cracks of conventional wisdom. Terri is also a founding member of The Haggus Society.

Cucuy is perhaps the most well known bird in Highland Park. A very spoiled and precocious macaw, she has a lot to say and often blames Terri Lloyd for all the troubles in her world. When she’s not chewing on the furniture, she’s calling Petco and ordering toys.

Tickets for the tour may be purchased online at www.arroyoartscollective.org $10 pre order or $15 the day of the event at Lummis Home (200 E Avenue 43, Los Angeles 90031). The home studio of Terri Lloyd is an official shuttle stop along the Discovery Tour.

Living In A La-La Land of Our Own Dizzy Design

Oh! And while you’re there, check out Leisa’s website. Her work is stop you in your tracks ART.

I can’t recall the first time I heard that, but I heard it frequently growing up. That and the entire first-middle-last name chant of impending doom.

“Theresa-Lynn-Lloyd! Get-your-ass-over-here-NOW! Who the HELL do you think you are, pulling a stunt like that?!?”

Yeah. It was always something. That pushing the envelope of reason, screwing around with the boundaries of common sensibility.

Terri Lloyd – Digital Fine Artist

Terri Lloyd is a Digital Fine Artist who communicates her very strong opinions through her art. She began her love affair with digital art and communications in 1987. Since then, she uses computers and software as tools that help other “creatives” sell themselves through the use of graphic digital resumes. We talk with her this week about creative ways to find work, the fine arts process, and her off-beat sense of humor.
