Embracing Beauty - group show

World's Beauty by Phyllis Rapp
​Exhibit Dates:  – January 27 – February 23, 2020

Reception: Saturday, February 15 2020, 2 to 5 pm: Meet the artists and celebrate this beautiful show.  Refreshments will be served.​Upstairs Art Gallery artists Susan Greer, Willow LaLand, Gail Morgan, Phyllis Rapp, Donna Schaffer, Cynthia Sumner, Ron Sumner, and Carolyn Wilson pool their artistic talents to present “Embracing Beauty,” an exhibit expressing multi-faceted interpretations of beauty.  The viewer is taken to a garden of delights as each artist presents his or her take on the theme – the potpourri of colors, flowers, subjects is an uplifting harbinger of spring.  Carolyn Wilson’s offering, “Judy’s Sunflower” is lively and cheerful. “I think sunflowers are beauty personified; they capture the sunny energy and warmth of summer days, a reminder of bright times ahead,” said Wilson.  Gail Morgan strikes a bright note with “Jazz,” an abstract monoprint interpreting the beauty of the music.  Filled with roses, Phyllis Rapp’s painting was inspired by a Toni Morrison quote: “At some point in life, the world’s beauty becomes enough.”  This exhibit brings the world’s beauty – Sonoma style – into clear focus.

​The Small Works Showcase on the stairway features Ebb and Flow by Marsha Connell.  Rendered in oil, pastel and watercolors, this collection is imbued with the movement and flow inspiring the artist as she works direct from life.  “it’s all about the dynamic of being in the moment and a selective process that gives plein air works that special fluid quality,” remarked Connell.  Drawing on her background as a dancer, her paintings have a spontaneous quality that invites the viewer to join the dance and complete the vision.  ​
