A mother and her 2 1/2 year old daughter paint objects and themes to show how we can view the same world from completely different perspectives–and celebrating the beauty in those differences.

The exhibit continues through February 6, 2022 at the Dolphin Gallery. The gallery is at 39114 Ocean Drive, in Cypress Village, Gualala’s uptown gallery district. Information is at 707.884.3896. Admission is Free.

Amethyst Widner has been happily painting, somewhat abstractly, for about a year now. Her enthusiasm for acrylic painting was fueled by the Arts Center pumpkin carving/decorating contest this last fall. She enjoys regular visits to the Arts Center to take in the creativity of each exhibit and cried the last time we went for a walk around the grounds along the trails and didn’t go inside the arts center.

Shayla Workman considers herself as creative more than an artist. She created art lessons that she guided 2nd graders through for two years as an elementary school teacher. Years later, she’s been able to use her teaching skills and creativity to experience art, and life, with her daughter (who so often takes on the role as the teacher, as we can learn so much about the world, and ourselves, when viewing things from a child’s perspective.)
