The ink and watercolor images in this show share a journey through incredibly stormy times, emerging with a renewed sense of resilience, vulnerability and courage.
The figure works are thought of as self-portraits navigating mental illnesses from depression to bipolar disorder and beyond.
The poetry, and the invisible words share a profound love of something magical in all of us.
Together these works explore time, nature, our humanity and speak to days of peace imbued with hope, and a renewed sense of adventure.
The show honors the changing of the seasons as well.
With love

These works share pieces of the artist’s journey when mental health became a priority and healing necessary.
Curved lines become anchors in space, an energetic and whimsical way to travel across the page.
Colors like pinks, yellows and intense reds further cement a sense of joyous mystery.
Nature helps heal as well, and the work is filled with hints of flitting bird patterns, budding plants, stars, and galaxies.
The whole expresses a kind of exuberance; the kind of exuberance one finds after having return from the brink with a renewed commitment to living.

A small black and white photography show
Hands hold a special place in our lives, they express hope and grief, love and loss, vulnerability and joy; they are our everyday tools, and hold so much of who we are.
These images also play with light, with self portraiture, and with nail art as well, and they would not exist without the heartfelt encouragements of Barb Needham.

OPINION: Are non-traditional venues a help or hindrance to the fine arts?
by Caroline Tavelli-Abar
Thank you for posting!!
“The role that “fine art“ plays in our culture is to expand our way of seeing and understanding the world around us. Artists through their study and perseverance develop a sensitivity and insight to our world”
...Yes, I find this to be true for myself as well
“that the layman does not have."
...There is a wonderful honesty in the vision of a person not used to looking at art that can help artists of any caliber further understand the world around them, and sometimes even clear up blind spots we all have. [...]
This show "Opportunity Knocks" at Judy Jensen’s Spontaneous Intermittent Gallery lasted for two months in the summer of 2008.
