We got our tree.

ONE LONG YEAR IN THE MAKING, BUT WE GOT OURSELF A TREE BASTROP!! Not just a tree but an entire farm as our canvas!

More. To. COME!!

(Old Photos of me at Ruidoso’s community art installation) I can’t wait to take photos of our hopeful community art installation here in Bastrop Texas! The take-away: Never give up no matter how many times you are told “NO.” NEVER GIVE UP!

We got our tree Bastrop!

I encourage you to show some love to Eden East Farm – click link above and click like:

I want to share with you the wonderful message I received from East Eden Farm:

Jana,

Pleasure to meet you yesterday.

My wife and I would be honored to host your, and the community’s, art piece for memory and celebration.

Let’s continue this conversation and get it started in 2023. The holidays will be busy for us, so January will be a good time to pay attention to this for us.

We are open to you using the tree that has the chandelier, or the tree in our circle drive – whichever you prefer. We can of course chat about that and anything else soon.

Thanks so much for all your work

David, Eden East Farm

(FYI we got the entire farm guys where the butterflies will fly and land where they may … as they make their way all the way to the back of the property where there will be a mural and the PeaceGarden – what a great day!)

More to come.

Jana Lynch is returning to Ruidoso!

Hey, Ruidoso friends, let’s make butterflies again to honor our loved ones and benefit the Lincoln County Food Bank!

Me at The Peace Garden Tree located at Wingfield Park


As the creator of the “Hello From Ruidoso” Peace Garden, I’m delighted to announce that I’m coming back to paint butterflies with you to honor once again those whom we love. In the Fall of 2021 this community collaboration art installation was relocated to Wingfield Park where it remains to be enjoyed by everyone.

Since my husband Kevin and I left the Village, many locals and visitors have continued to honor their loved ones by painting and installing butterflies, just as so many of us have done in the past. So we’re coming back for one fun-filled weekend to celebrate our loved ones while raising money and awareness of the needs that are being requested of and met by the Lincoln County Food Bank.

Let’s kick this off Thursday, August 11 from 6:00pm – 9:00pm with a Meet-and-Greet Happy Hour at Casa Blanca Restaurant and Bar, 501 Mechem Dr, Rudoso, (575) 257-2495.

Then, on Friday, August 12 from 4:00pm – 8:00pm, everyone’s invited to meet me and my wonderful artist friends at a “Location To Be Announced” where you and any local artists can paint butterflies in honor or memory of your loved ones, too. Remember, pet’s are loved ones, so we can honor them as well, right?

A finally, we’ll enjoy time together on Saturday, August 13, from 9:00am – 1:00pm at the art installation located at Wingfield Park, for even more painting and the placement of your butterflies into the Peace Garden Tree.

This is a place of honor. It’s a commemoration of the passage for your loved ones as well as a way to show the love you have for them. It is such a magnificent way to remember them.

Do you want to honor a loved one by purchasing a butterfly to paint so it can live in this garden? A donation of $15 per butterfly will benefit greatly the Lincoln County Food Bank. Did you know we still have pavers available to display your family name? The cost is $100 each and Jana will paint your message right on the patio floor. And remember, we’re doing this to raise awareness to benefit the Lincoln County Food Bank, and to honor our loved ones on this first of its kind, always changing, community Art Installation.

Find matching merchandise at the retail shops on Sudderth Drive, HelloFromRuidoso.com, or at the event in August.

Contact Jana directly at JanaLynchArt@gmail.com if you have questions, or you would like to help me with this event. Or if you’d like to ask me to paint a butterfly for you before the event so it will be ready to be installed on Saturday the 13th at Wingfield. The cost is $30 for a custom design to match your loved one’s interests, and that price includes jewels and glitter!

New home for the PeaceGarden

For immediate release 10/8/21:

Message of Hope patio is moving to Wingfield Park Memorial Garden

The PeaceGarden where we honor our loved ones by painting butterflies will be relocated from the ArtCave to Wingfield Park Memorial Garden.

Parks and Rec will continue the tradition of allowing people to paint wooden butterflies honoring their loved ones and these butterflies will live in the trees above the PeaceGarden patio at Wingfield.

Artist Jana Lynch is looking for retailers who would like to offer the matching merchandise.

Retailer’s on Suddeth should consider carrying these products due to the popularity and exposer of this Patio to our visitors from all over the world.

Can you imagine when there are 1000s of butterflies in the trees at Wingfield?

Well We think people will want to take home the matching merchandise where they honored their loved ones.

Some of the proceeds will go to the Lincoln County Food Bank.

Message her here if you are a retailer and are interested in learning more.

Relocation will be complete by Nov 1.

More to come.

Special Merchandise can designed and customized exclusively for just your store.
