2011 Gallery Exhibitions
"Here So Lightly: The Photography of Bill Guild"
In the Gallery August 25 - September 26
A figure is seen leaving the frame of the photo. A landscape is
revealed that could easily come out of a dream. Using perspective,
tonality and texture, each image is crafted to become more of a
meditation than a photograph.

"Sacred Vessels and Vantages: The Work of Jessica L. Phillips and Tony Conner"
In the Gallery July 28 - August 22
Two artists, a watercolorist (Conner) and a ceramist (Phillips),
examine the nature of sacred places and objects. Conner's renderings
are traditionally composed with a fresh, unexpected palette. Phillips'
series of vessels center around the feminine aspect of the sacred in
ritual and ceremony, merging our current perceptions with the ever
changing role of women in modern society.

"Unconscious Convergence: The Work of Debi Pendell"
In the Gallery June 23 - July 25
A series of new, layered, acrylic collages evolving from a spontaneous and unconscious convergence of several earlier experimental directions
the artist had taken. This series is based on the artist's intrigue
with how we humans "read" various symbol systems, and how we use our imaginations to add and/or subtract in order to make sense of what we
see.
