A Visual Feast!

Wendy Wilmes: Photography

April 6 - April 29, 2012

Opening Reception:
Friday, April 6, 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.


Robin Goldner learned how to sew from her mother and studied art quilting with Laura Fogg and Lelia Kazimi. Most of her work reflects nature, because she is moved by its beauty, intriguing patterns and powerful sense of peace and dignity. The pieces in this show span most of her quilting "career", from about 2007 to the present.

After over 35 years as a concert pianist, renown composer, and producer, Spencer Brewer turned his attention to "found art" or "Assemblage" and has been rowing down this uncharted river for several years. Where people find junk, Spencer sees art, and many of these pieces are sculpted into "fractured found art".

Wendy Wilmes describes her photography: “Color, pattern, texture; images that are compelling, startling, mysterious or humorous – these are the things that visually attract me, which I love to capture, and sometimes enhance, and share.”

Besides painting in watercolor, Leslie Rich teaches drama lessons for SPACE in Ukiah, takes art classes, does the newsletter for Willits Daily Bread, and volunteers at the newly funded (!) public library. Several of Leslie’s paintings are in private collections around the country and her work has been included in juried shows and galleries throughout Northern California.
