This year I had the opportunity to learn more about Henry R. Mockel, an East Coast artist known for his serigraphs of California desert plants. With this opportunity came the opportunity to speak with people who knew Henry, as well as opportunities to tell Henry’s story in a presentation for the Desert Institute at Joshua Tree National Park and to write a journal article for the Twentynine Palms Historical Society. This week I have the opportunity to share Henry’s story again, this time over afternoon tea.
This week’s presentation is one of several events celebrating the 65th anniversary of the 29 Palms Art Gallery. Henry was an early member of the Gallery and I look forward to sharing his story with a new audience, as well as with those who may have known him.
You are invited to join us for an afternoon of tea and botanical art on Saturday, December 9, 2017 from 3:00 – 5:00 pm. This event is free. Donations to the non-profit gallery are suggested.
The 29 Palms Art Gallery is located in Twentynine Palms, CA. Learn more about the Gallery at www.29palmsartgallery.com.
