Opening Exhibit: Saturday, August 10, 5:00-8:00pm
Through September 8, 2019
Ruth Lantz paintings explore the intersections between painting, digital language and landscape. “Commingling abstraction and representation I approach my work through a series of perceptual and painterly filtrations. I present how technology has altered the way we understand, mediate or degrade our visual environments.” Lantz received her Masters in Visual Studies from the Pacific NW College of Art (PNCA) and has her work featured nationally, and is represented by Elizabeth Leach Gallery in Portland.
Jill Mulholland works with light and glass as her art medium and creates delightful pieces she calls Light Confetti, which disperses multicolored moving lights from a direct light source. Her fascination with light, color, reflection, and shadows led her to a Masters in Interior Architecture from the University of Oregon, with her dissertation Light Celebrating Place and works of light art. Currently, she coordinates a non-profit board for the International Association of Lighting Designers.
Shelby Silver identifies herself as an “Ecological Artist” with a deep values for the health of the environment, especially the sea. Her work is concentrated on working with P.M.D. (Plastic Marine Debris) to create awareness around the decline of marine habitat, and to highlight the positive outcomes to reclaim and restore wild places. She will be showing new sculpture and jewelry made from recycled fishing ropes and nets.
