COLLECTIVE IMAGINATION: seven painters
With a nod to Jung’s Collective Unconscious as a uniting theme, this exhibition brings together the works of seven abstract artists and their mentor. Within the framework of a collective, the artists work along the lines of abstraction, meeting regularly in each other’s studios to critique their work and discuss painting and abstraction. Five years down the road, they continue to meet and work, drawing from the landscape, dreams, and the collective unconscious to create these paintings.
​
Artists include: Emily Blaschke, Jenny Campbell, Alicia Sampson Etheridge, Michel Droge, Celeste June Henriquez,

Surroundings
The circumstances, conditions, or objects by which one is surrounded.
This exhibit features four artists who are responding to the theme of Surroundings. Rather than merely depict the physical world around them, the group of artists explore ideas that go beyond the physicality of their environment. These artists are also asked to consider the circumstances as well as the conditions in their world.
Come see this wonderful show featuring Liz Hoag, Justine Lasdin-Springer, Lin Lisberger and Paige Taylor.
