REBECCA EDWARDS: ABSTRACT WORKS January 20 – March 10, 2016 Reception: Wednesday, January 20, 4-6pm Rebecca Edwards discovered a passion for art when she began using watercolors in the late 80’s. She now enjoys working with acrylic on canvas, venturing into broader applications on larger surfaces. Having had little formal training, she works intuitively, enjoying the way a piece evolves through layers, taking on a life of its own. Rebecca is at home with musical expression as well.

She has composed and performed songs for many years. Her passion for music has led her through many genres, including musical theater, jazz and inspirational. You may see more of her paintings and hear her music at www.rebeccaedwards.net

When he worked with adults with developmental disabilities over a decade ago, Tony Armlin devised techniques to help them create abstract paintings using food ingredients. Adding instant pudding and flour, or salt and flour, or just plain sugar, to tempera paint provided interesting textures and odors for each painting experience. He has also taught these techniques to seniors who create amazing abstract paintings without any previous experience. Armlin invites you to come and see over thirty of his Abstract Food Paintings and many senior student paintings. Their creative works add new meaning to the phrase “don’t play with your food.”

VANESSA HADADY: COASTAL WATERS WEST May 10 – June 23, 2016 Reception: Wednesday, May 11, 4-6pm Colorful en plein air paintings by Vanessa Hadady celebrate coastal waters from far inland California delta waters, to Oregon Pacific reef islands topped with conifers. This show will span the last 5 of over 40 years of artistic inquiry by the artist. Painted full-size and on-site, before scenic byways or state and national parks, the works endeavor to raise environmental awareness concerning precious natural resources. Archived in the Smithsonian Institution, this classically trained painter, contemporary filmmaker, art instructor, and author of several art books (pictorial and educational), works through a range of representational styles including impressionism, minimalism, and realism.

NORTH BAY INDUSTRIES ACTIVITY CENTER SHOWCASE June 28 – August 25, 2016 Reception: Wednesday, June 29, 4-6pm North Bay Industries is a rehabilitation activity center located in Rohnert Park, California.

ing up to share their unique and exciting artwork with you. Kathy’s paintings are joyful and colorful...fanciful! Much of her inspiration comes from music and spirituality.

She uses several mediums, layering them to create an emotional impact of color, texture, light and space. Every piece is an experiment as to what can be done through color and ink. Jess’ artwork is both delicate and bold. Using watercolor and amazing pen work, he creates patterns and rhythms that are interpretations of the world around him. Jess explores expressive linear gesture, mark-making, unique textures and layering which often create the illusion of energy, movement and compressed space.

2060 W. College Avenue Viewing Hours: Monday – Friday, 8am-6pm and Saturday, 9am-11am

NATIONAL ARTS PROGRAM: 13TH ANNUAL EXHIBITION AND COMPETITION February 1 – April 1, 2016 Awards Reception: Sunday, March 6, 3-5pm Santa Rosa is one of over 80 cities across the country that participate in The National Arts Program.

GREEN GREENWALD: DUBIOUS EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY April 5 – May 26, 2016 Reception: Thursday, April 7, 5-7pm The ancient Egyptians’ spiritual world is a most fascinating one for Green Greenwald.

The mysterious hieroglyphics and more than 1200 Gods and Goddesses became seeds for a garden of new paintings. Green has been taking the Egyptian elements and using them in new compositions and narratives and has discovered a whole new set of components to work with. Green presents a new blend of Egyptian mythology with aspects of the ancient and contemporary worlds. Cleopatra didn’t see this coming.

THE LITTLE THINGS: COLLECTED ILLUSTRATIONS BY BRENNA DAUGHERTY July 19 – September 1, 2016 Reception: Thursday, July 21, 5-7pm Brenna Daugherty is a life-long doodler and Sonoma County native who currently calls San Francisco home. She is constantly inspired by thrift store knick-knacks, West Coast architecture, old wall paper and vintage typography. From detailed portraiture to donut still-lifes, her small-scale illustrations are whimsical, pastel-colored creations that draw on nostalgia, femininity and vintage imagery with an occasional touch of weird. She works primarily in gouache, ink and graphite on paper.

ABSTRACTIONS: KATHY WHITE & JESS LEE June 1 – July 14, 2016 Reception: Thursday, June 2, 5-7pm Kathy White and Jess Lee are not only local artists, but they are mother and son, team-

TERI SLOAT: BEYOND MY WINDOW February 17 – April 7, 2016 Reception: Friday, March 11, 5-7pm Teri Sloat divides her time between landscape art, narrative art and writing. Her landscapes begin outdoors en plein air in the hills and tidal waters of Sonoma and Marin Counties. Working outdoors, she can hear the landscape, feel the air and capture the light as it changes. As a children’s book author and illustrator, Sloat pairs these outdoor scenes with the landscapes in her mind.

Often her images accompany her stories; sometimes they tell a story all their own.

Her work can be seen at Sutter Hospital, Sebastopol Gallery and Spring Lake Village. You can visit her studio during Art at the Source and Art Trails.

MARIA DE LOS ANGELES: PLAYING AND LABOR April 12 – June 2, 2016 Reception: Friday, April 22, 5-7pm Maria de Los Angeles’ subject matter explores the immigrant’s experience; the conflict between imagined dreams and the reality of the undocumented alien’s life. With spring colors, washes of pinks, and an inherent desire to make beautiful images of those who sleep, are voiceless, in silence, in fear, and are waiting for change, de Los Angeles paints vignettes of bodies, landscapes, and border patrols. She strives to construct compositions that reference the thoughts of the characters in them. Images are sourced from the media’s representation of current events and de Los Angeles’ invented iconography.

ROBERT VON KEPNER: THE VAGABOND SOUL June 7 – July 28, 2016 Reception: Friday, June 17, 5-7pm Robert von Kepner’s work exemplifies an incredible mastery of realism. His collection of portraits at City Hall are both beautiful and haunting, with a compelling contemporary edge. His skillfully rendered figurative work is primarily done in graphite on paper. This is a unique opportunity to see von Kepner’s powerful life-size drawings. Not to be missed!

DEBBIE VAN DYKE: THE FINE ART OF FIBER March 8 – April 28, 2016 Reception: Wednesday, March 9, 5-7pm Come explore art for the heart! Using fiber as paint, and embroidery as her brush, fiber collage artist Debbie Van Dyke creates thought-provoking images with fine art expertise. Inspired by nature and emotion, Debbie’s work shares her life stories in tactile form. Drawn to fabric and found items that are works of art within themselves, she uses color, weight and shape to share her thoughts about nature, love, anger, hope and peace. Debbie combines hand and machine sewing with screen printing, weaving, drawing and painting to produce exciting works with unexpected results.

SANTA ROSA ART GUILD: THE WONDER OF SHAPE AND COLOR May 3 – June 16, 2016 Reception: Wednesday, May 4, 5-7pm The Santa Rosa Art Guild (SRAG), founded in 1956, is a non-profit community organization dedicated to practicing and stimulating interest in fine arts and crafts. Guild members use a wide variety of artistic media including oils, watercolors, acrylics, pastels, mixed media, collage, printmaking, photography and sculpture. This show, which marks the 60th anniversary of the Guild, will reflect this wide range of media. Guild activities include art demonstrations by members and by well-known artists, paint-outs at nearby scenic locations and art shows of members’ work. All active artists are welcome to join the Guild.

SERENA HAZARD & JANE VAN LOON: GOING TO SEED June 21 – August 18, 2016 Reception: Wednesday, June 22, 5-7pm This show of paintings and sculptures honors the seeds of a 44 year friendship between Serena Hazard and Jane van Loon. Serena’s source of joy is vision, seeing diversity in size shape and color, seeing her garden from a perspective that is broad and inclusive, scientific and curious, honoring biodiversity. Her first language is painting.

Jane van Loon’s avocations are drawing and painting. At 70 plus, she now practices the arts of “going to seed.” This includes making and sharing sanctuary spaces with friends.

It means possibly reseeding whatever foolish, fertile, and ferociously loving futures grow from our planting.

TINY TOTS - WIZARD OF OZ (Age 4-6) 8 Weeks Young children love make-believe, magic, and play! In this class, we will use the characters and events from the Wizard of Oz, to create an opportunity for participants to dress up and use their imaginations. In the Land of Oz, practically anything is possible!

There are tiny munchkin people, helpful witches and evil ones, talking animals, and dancing poppies. When Dorothy sets out to retrieve the Wicked Witch’s broom, she and her friends, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man, and the Scarecrow, discover inner strengths they never knew they had. Costumes provided. Our activities will culminate in a memorable “show” for family and friends on the last day of class.

BEGINNING RAPIER AND DAGGER FENCING (Age 15 & Up) NEW

FENCING CAMP FOR KIDS! (Age 7-12)

Imagine yourself, sword in hand, dagger at the ready. With a deft maneuver of the dagger you deflect your opponent’s sword and then, avoiding their own parry, you swiftly lunge to the target. The point is yours! This class is an introduction to the study of the dueling weapons of the 1600’s. Rapier and dagger are the weapons of a lost martial art, experiencing a revival in the modern age. We still study the manuals of the masters from the time period, Saviolo, Gigante, and Capoferro.

As we explore their techniques we will steadily develop our skills as duelists under the guidance of our master instructors.

No prior experience is necessary to enjoy this unique and exciting class. Men are required to wear athletic cups. All other safety gear is provided. Min 5 Max 10
