"Why We Live Here" Shanti Balsé is the January Featured Artist, at the Co-op of Mendocino

Shanti has enjoyed photographing beautiful sites and images both near and far while helping her brother form a film about their father’s native India.  She found that photography was a natural expression for her and has made it her own  since taking still shots for her brother’s movie.  A large part of her show is devoted to our Mendocino area’s well appreciated beauty as the visual statement of making it her home base.

Come join us for these visual treats and foundational views of our beloved county and a little of the rest of the world.  Shanti takes pleasure in presenting colorful and textural impressions of the place she calls home, while adding a few distant inspirations.  You may see these pieces throughout the month of January.
