Shari Fischer, MFA, known for her innovative approach to artistic expression, shares her journey of breaking free from the Silicon Valley life mode in her autobiography. Fischer’s exploration led her to discover a forgotten set of Prismacolor pencils and black paper in her studio. Randomly selecting 18 colors, she embarked on a creative odyssey, resulting in over 50 mesmerizing color studies. Fischer’s love for brushes filled with paint became her preferred tool, allowing her to craft points, lines, shapes, and motions with endless possibilities. Her escape to the woods of Mendocino has inspired landscapes that come to life through water-soluble oils on black primed canvases. The exhibition will showcase Fischer’s evolution as an artist and the vivid landscapes that emerge from her engagement with the natural world.
Natalie Campbell, a self-taught artist, presents a heartwarming fusion of her lifelong passion for horses and the western lifestyle in her autobiography. Having discovered art later in life, Campbell’s unique perspective breathes life into her subjects on black archival paper using pastel pencils. Her journey into the art world is a testament to the joy of newfound creativity, and her pieces evoke the harmony between her love for horses and her artistic expression.
The opening reception on Saturday, February 3rd, will be a delightful opportunity for art enthusiasts and the local community to engage with Shari Fischer and Natalie Campbell, gaining insights into their artistic processes and inspirations. Attendees can immerse themselves in the diverse worlds these artists have created and appreciate the distinctive techniques that define their work.
