Landscapes for this exhibit are viewed as a metaphor for the processes of daily living: creating shelter (putting down roots), growing food, survival (harsh elements of air, land and water). Landscapes can also be seen as cultural expressions (cracks in the sidewalk of a declining neighborhood) or can reflect political, ethnic, and social strife (wars over territory). Finally, landscapes can be viewed as expressions of dreams, hopes, and sacred places for calming the mind and creating serenity. Intake: Sunday, May. 26, 11am-5pm Exhibit opens: Friday, May 31 Reception: Saturday, June 8, 3-5pm Mid-show reception: Saturday, July 13, 3-5pm.

Feel the pleasure of weightlessness, the anticipation of a race, becoming something “other” when submerged. Water is spiritual, sensual, chaotic: do you meet it head-on, submit to it, or relax completely? Reimagine your life aquatic with this debut collection celebrating water in watercolor!
