"Wright or Wrong" for Yountville Arts

KZ and SM with wright or wrongSunshine and Katherine with "Wright or Wrong" artwork I'm so grateful to have amazing opportunities like this! To be able to collaborate with an artist friend who inspires me and get work together to create a shared vision for a community art event. On so many levels, this is fantastic! AND, I got to do it with TWO other artists!

The Wright from the Heart exhibit produced by Yountville Arts and co-sponsored by the Yountville Chamber of Commerce gifted local Napa Valley artists with this wonderful opportunity. This is the third annual Heart of Yountville art show and, I think, the best yet! Wright from the Heart is a unique gallery exhibit that pairs artists with writers for an intriguing visual journey. The ultimate exhibit launches as part of the annual Napa Valley Mustard Celebration

60 artists and writers co-created to bring 30 truly unique works of art to the Steve Rogers Gallery at the Yountville Community Center through March 28, 2025. The Opening Reception is Thursday, January 16th.

In this piece, I was the writer, working with my wonderful friend and amazing artist, Sunshine Moeschler.

The exhibit has us create an audio recording for viewers to hear.
This is what our says...

"Wright or Wrong" - the collaborative artwork from Sunshine Moeschler and Katherine Zimmer

"This was such a great opportunity for creative discovery and collaboration! We decided to take the theme literally and dive into what "wright" w-r-i-g-h-t means. It's fascinating... the word originates as a builder of things, often out of wood... a maker... which fits so well with today's popular art and craft mash up of makers. It was also a noun for the town person who created things like furniture... they called him a "wright".

So Katherine played with that and contrasted it with the other "rights" r-i-g-h-t and write w-r-i-t-e and how they played together, positive and negative, building an artist's creative journey.

Sunshine took the opportunity to explore more of her amazing hand painted paper and collage techniques. Building and layering a fantastically bold, colorful image of hearts, and tears, and patches, and drips, and bonding of imagery. It perfectly mirrors the artist's journey in visual form.

We are so grateful to have been able to combine our processes and work so closely together to create this artwork. We'd like to say thank you to Yountville Arts and the Yountville Chamber of Commerce for producing and sponsoring such a unique opportunity.

Thanks for supporting our art! Much love from Katherine and Sunshine!"

“Wright or Wrong”
poem by Katherine Zimmer

wright or wrong
make or break

when we fracture
again create

no wrong or right
simply wright to make

stronger ourselves
heart to heart

or alone

within the break
we are righted
