WORKS OF NATURE: DRAWING CLOSER BY DANIELLE JOY REYNOLDS July 1 – August 21, 2014

NATURE: THE JEWELRY OF MICHELLE HOTING April 1 – May 15, 2014

Reception: Wednesday, July 9, 4-6pm

Reception: Thursday, April 3, 5-7pm

This exhibit is a fusion of Reynolds’ nature photography, often from a macro-perspective, and her Moss Works pieces—symbols and images hand-stitched to canvas using moss as medium. As you view this exhibit the artist hopes you are drawn in to the intrigue, temporality, beauty, and fragility that is our living world so that we might reflect, re-discover, or even re-create our relationship with it.

Michelle’s designs combine the elements and textures that surround us with the use of hand-cut stone, recycled fine silver, and bronze combined with natural objects and antique finds. She says it was her destiny to be a lapidary (stone cutter) and jeweler; her grandfather cofounded the Corpus Christi Gem and Mineral Society and she grew up with his rocks and stories of rockhounding on the King Ranch.

Managing the project for the city is Arts Coordinator, Tara Matheny-Schuster, partnering with the Sonoma County Museum.
