A Celebration of Nature and Community
Born from a deep love for the Napa River and its ecosystem, Blue Trout Studio has been creating art that celebrates and supports our natural environment for over two decades. Our journey began in 2004 with a simple mission: to raise awareness and funds for the restoration of the Napa River, a vital waterway that had suffered from years of neglect and industrialization.
What started as a local initiative has grown into a passion project that continues to evolve, always staying true to our roots in environmental stewardship and artistic expression.
Our Inspiration
The Napa River, with its rich history as a spawning ground for steelhead and salmon, serves as our primary muse. The river's journey from neglect to restoration mirrors our own evolution as artists and conservationists. Each piece we create is a testament to the resilience of nature and the power of community action.
Our Art
At the heart of Blue Trout Studio are our fish sculptures - kinetic artworks that capture the grace and energy of fish in motion. These pieces, along with our prints and other artworks, are more than just decorative items. They're a reminder of the beauty that exists in our rivers and streams, and the importance of preserving these ecosystems for future generations.
Our Commitment
We believe that art can be a powerful catalyst for change. That's why we donate 20% of all our sales to support local river conservation efforts. When you bring a piece of Blue Trout Studio art into your home, you're not just acquiring a beautiful object - you're contributing to the health and vitality of our precious waterways.
Join Our Journey
At Blue Trout Studio, we're more than just artists - we're part of a community that cares deeply about our natural world. We invite you to join us in our mission to celebrate and protect the rivers that give life to our communities. Whether through art, action, or awareness, together we can make a difference.
