About the exhibit

Yakima’s work: This series of work is tittled Nature in Graphite & Color. This work explores nature through the precision of pencil lines with a subtle vibrancy of color. This combination of mediums and detail invites the viewer to reconnect with the intricate beauty of the natural world one line at a time.

Dave’s work: These new textural paintings have all spiraled out of a new technique that is in many ways counter-intuitive to the natural process of building paintings and textures, yet achieves an instant directness of making work and still allows for movement and improvisaKon across a broad spectrum of styles and subject matter.I guess you’ll have to come to the artist talk, because maybe I can explain it all better in person.
