Willow Pond is proud to present our newest Artist Inn Residence, Leah Lyon!
A perennial artist, I recently went to college to create my first professional career. I graduated with a B.A. in Public Relations from Mesa State College, CO. It’s creative side assists me in my pottery business.
What happened is while going through school I discovered a love for clay. (Those darn electives!) It started with hand building and transition into throwing on a wheel. I often use both techniques in my pieces. I have finally accepted that clay is now a passion.
Clay is addictive. Don’t let anyone tell you anything different. Whether you collect the finished vessels or indulge in the creation process you’ll get hooked. My husband tells me the reason I love clay is because of my love of rocks. Clay is simply very, very small rocks. He may be right. Scientifically it’s true!
My love of creating ceramic vessels uses my natural abilities and learned skills. It is the happy accidents that amaze me. Like my “Peach Pitchers”
The story goes - I had thrown my first tall (for me) vase. When I went to flip it over to dry more, one side collapsed. I was in shock. I couldn’t waste the vessel so...I altered it more and “voila!” My own style of pitcher. I create functional pieces that are a joy to look at. I seek to create vessels with texture and functional aesthetic forms. So that when they’re not in use you would think, “Why would you want to put this away in a cupboard?!
Leah's beautiful tea pots are now available at Willow Pond!

"If listening to great flute music, performed by a superb musician, is what you are looking for, look no further than Lisa Schroeder. She delivers on all levels." (Steven Allen Fox, Composer/Artistic Director/Conductor of the Golden State Pops Orchestra)
"Nigro is an excellent guitarist, drawing a multitude of tone colors from his instrument and displaying great technical dexterity. He has a wide dynamic range, a very pretty sound, and an ability to vary his articulation for expressive purposes. Guitarists have to be able to play melody and accompaniment at the same time, while differentiating the two, and also provide their own percussive effects. All of these tasks Nigro performed with ease and a sense of style."
(Jim Ruggirello, Long Beach Gazzette)
Lisa Schroeder and Michael Nigro join their musical talents, creating an experience of pure elegance and classical artistry.Their vision is to reach a non-classical audience, inspire the classical listener, and to touch just one life with a "noteworthy" performance.Their interest in South American Music can be heard throughout their extensive flute and guitar repertoire.Lisa and Michael are both on faculty at Vanguard University of Southern California.
During the course of the concert, in an informal manner, Michael and Lisa often include commentary, information, and anecdotes about the composers and pieces they are performing. Their striking ability to communicate with their audience makes "Noteworthy" performances seem more like an intimate gathering of friends than a recital for strangers.
Flutist, Lisa Schroeder is a Los Angeles based performer, teacher, and clinician. As a Solo Artist with Altus Flutes, and as flutist with Noteworthy Duo, Lisa has established herself as a first-rate artist and teacher, performing in Concerts and giving Master Classes across the United States and Europe.In California, she is the acting principal flutist of the Golden State Pops Orchestra.In August 2008, Lisa was selected to perform bass flute with the National Flute Association’s Professional Flute Choir at the Kansas City Convention.Her expressive playing transports the audience into the music and has received praise from the flute community.Gary Schocker, a renowned flutist/composer/pianist, states “Lisa Schroeder is a dynamic performer who brings her own style to the flute.”
As a high school junior, she attended the esteemed Interlochen Center for the Arts and knew from that moment on that she was destined to be a flute performer.Lisa began her collegiate music studies at Eastern Michigan University and later relocated to Nashville, Tennessee where she received her Bachelor of Music degree in flute performance from Middle Tennessee State University.
While in Nashville, Lisa gained experience in performing, teaching, and recording session work with area singer/songwriters.She held the piccolo position in the Tennessee Philharmonic and the flute position with the Music City Winds.
In 2002, Lisa performed in the John Barcellona Master Class in Kentucky, after which the internationally acclaimed flute performer/teacher invited her to study with him in Southern California.She in turn received her Master of Music degree in flute performance from California State University Long Beach.Her interest in new music inspired a thesis entitled, “Twentieth-Century Techniques in Flute Literature:Learning and Teaching Multiphonics”.
Lisa Schroeder has performed in Master Classes with Gary Schocker, Peter Lloyd, Michel Debost, Debora Harris, Angeleita Floyd, John Barcellona, Jim Walker and Sir James Galway.Her primary teachers have included Dr. John Barcellona, Dr. Yvonne Chavez-Hansbrough, Dr. Deanna Hahn-Little, Dr. Julie Stone, and Ann Richards of the Nashville Symphony.
Mrs. Schroeder currently teaches flute at Vanguard University of Southern California, Cerritos College, Golden West College, and directs the Rolling Hills Flute Choir.Her passion for teaching has brought about her annual “Flute Loops” camp held in Palos Verdes, CA.
Michael Anthony Nigro showed an interest in the guitar at an early age and began playing by the age of 12. After several years of lessons with local teachers and self-study, he attended the prestigious Indiana University School of Music where he graduated with his Bachelor of Music Degree in 2000 under the direction of Ernesto Bitetti.
After moving back to his native Southern California, he attended California State University, Fullerton and earned a Master of Music degree under the tutelage of David Grimes.
Michael Nigro’s debut recording, “Homage to Piazzolla; Argentine Dances, Songs, and Rhythms,” is released on the label, Music & Arts. The American Record Guide stated, “Nigro has a big sound, a smooth tone, and sure-footed interpretive instincts.” His latest CD, “Guitar Sudamericana,” is released on the Austrian label, Balcon Records and features guitar works by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Antonio Lauro, Adolfo Luna, Jose Luis Merlin, and many others.
As a performer and teacher, Michael has played concerts and Master Classes at many esteemed colleges which include Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, University of Wisconsin, Glendale Community College in Glendale, Arizona, Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York, Marlyhurst College in Portland, Oregon, William Jessup University in Rocklin, California and many others.
Michael is an active member of the guitar community; he is co-founder of the Long Beach Classical Guitar Society, independent reviewer of new music publications for Soundboard Magazine, and sought after teacher and performer.
In January 2006, Michael joined the faculty at Vanguard University of Southern California where he teaches private guitar, class guitar, and guitar ensemble.
Pete Kartsounes is no stranger to the life of a full time musician. He has spent the past 13 years writing, recording and touring nationally and internationally. Now living in Boulder, Colorado, Pete has established himself as a dominant figure in todays music scene.
Apart from playing festivals and venues nationwide as a member of the Wayword Sons "featuring Benny Galloway" (writer behind the songs of Yonder Mountain String Band), Pete also plays as a solo act, and with his own band "Pete Kartsounes Band" (P.K.B). The band consists of an amazing group of musicians, who's skill set has the ability to fit the genre of any event. Pete's mixture of musical genres is extensive, making his music unique. He writes ballads, blues, jazzy, bluegrass, standard-like and sometimes music that isn't so easy to describe other than to say that they are "story-telling" songs. He is also known for his strong, soulful voice, and encompassing lyrics. Referred to as a "must see" and "truely one of a kind" from critics, he is becoming one of the most prolific songwriters of today.
Pete's newest release "Out of Nowhere" is his 3rd and most essential albumn to date. Getting rave reviews throughout the country, it is a tasteful blend of Bluegrass, Jazz, folk, and blues, entwined with acoustic overtones and superb musicianship. The disc includes many well known artists, some of which are Grammy Award Winner Sally Van Meter, Jeff Austin (Yonder Mtn String Band), Drew Emmitt (Leftover Salmon), and Travis Book (The Infamous Stringdusters). It was also recorded in DSD (Direct Stream Digital) format by Gus Skinas. It is truely original and visual music.

30 miles from Grand Junction, near the Colorado/Utah border, is Rabbit Valley and the Trail Through Time. Here you can view some interesting wildlife, such as the lizard pictured above, as well as interesting vegetation, rock formations and of course, what the area is famous for....dinosaurs! Well, dinosaur fossils anyway...
Blue belly lizard...
Diplodocus vertebrae
This area also has a working quarry, where folks from the Museum of Western Colorado excavate findings to be displayed at the Dinosaur Museum, in Fruita. Some days you might find the paleontologists out there digging...
Spring and Fall are the best times to go, mild weather and flowers in the springtime. Summer is hot, triple digits, so bring plenty of water!
There is a high trail and a lower trail with wheelchair access. The entire loop is 1.5 miles, and takes an hour to an hour and a half to complete. The high trail was easy enough for us hiking novices to complete...
