Almost Forgotten

"Evening Serenade" by Eleanor Kotlarik Wang
Vintage piano and violin scores were recovered from the estate of the artist’s mother. They became the stimulus for an exploration that unites nature and melody in abstract visual expressions. The paintings evoke harmony and movement that seem to float through time onto canvases that are full of color, rhythm and energy. This exhibit is a nostalgic visual reflection about music, nature, memory and emotions. Also featuring sculptures by Beth Eltinge.

Anchors of the Heart
Micheline Klagsbrun
Curated by Aneta Georgievska-Shine
April 26 - May 20, 2023
My ‘Night Boat’ sculptures evoke times of dislocation, when we must patch our lives together out of random materials, and move forward despite not knowing what lies ahead.
Originally inspired by family experiences, and amplified by the ongoing plight of refugees everywhere, Night Boats also represent other journeys of life. On our voyages into the unknown, what memories do we hold on to and what belongings carry these memories for us? These memories are also the family connections and roots that help us remember who we are and give us resilience and hope.
This exhibition brings together small mixed-media sculptures and works on paper that invite the viewer into an intimate world of precious possessions, the objects and memories we bring with us. They are our anchors in the floating world, our roots in the storm.
Klagsbrun's work is also currently exhibited in:

“Under the Full Moon” by Elizabeth Curren
This exhibit is about the life cycle and beauty of the mysterious Horseshoe Crabs that populate the North American coastline from the Yucatan peninsula to southern Canada. Using well beaten flax and watercolor paper, I have created a paper beach, an artist’s book and other components to illustrate the life cycle of these remarkable animals who have populated the oceans for 450 million years.

Sculptures by Giorgi Dolidze and Victoria Hanks
Curated by Miriam Keeler and Kimberley Bursic
April 26 - May 20, 2023
“Ratty on a Circle” by Victoria Hanks
“Ballerina with Lost Balance” by Giorgi Dolidze
View sculptures by artist members Giorgi Dolidze and Victoria Hanks in this special Garden Gallery exhibit. Both Dolidze and Hanks use the medium of sculpture to explore life and psychology. Giorgi Dolidze uses paint, plaster, metal and clay to create images that are an exploration of the human self and the fluidity of the human form. His work centers on the experience of life in today’s society and how it affects the human psyche as well as the physical. Initially stemming from an interest in the physical and textural properties of animal bodies and then later the sentient experiences of those animals, Victoria Hanks’ work focuses on using animal personalities to act out very human experiences. Sometimes somewhat cartoonish but with some pathos or angst, she tries to put on an animal mask, so to speak, to act out the fears and emotions common to people.
