The River's Journey: 5 year reunion at the Wildling

We’re in the final days of the River’s Journey anniversary show at the Wildling Museum in Solvang. The show will come down on September 4th. The museum is offering a $50 off coupon with the purchase of a painting AND a free catalog from the original exhibition. Thanks to the museum for another chance to grace the walls and thanks also to the participating artists!

The River's Journey catalog revealed again

The River’s Journey celebration continues! Not only is the exhibition having an anniversary so is the catalog. Here is a sneak peek into the 120 page catalog from the exhibit that opened at the Wildling Museum of Art & Nature in February of 2018. (You can flip through the entire catalog on my instagram feed). This gem showcased articles from many voices in the community in addition to the six artists participating in the show. You can find it in my shop as well as at the Wildling Museum store. Stayed tuned for information about a reunion exhibit coming soon!

Springtime at the Wildling Museum of Art & Nature

Spring time means new beginnings. A new iteration of the Fox Tales windows arrives at the museum before the re-opening in April. The Wildling opened their doors again April 17th with two new shows and a refresh of the papercuts “wintering” windows. There are cubs at play and new color for daylight hours. STILL, the best viewing times are after dark when there is drama at play.

Mass: A large body of matter crowded together

Artists are observers and interpreters of what they see around them, whether it is a social concern, the natural world, the built environment or their own unique vision. Often artists work in series, exploring a particular topic as they deeply observe their subject over time. For artists, this repetition can serve both as a meditative practice and a means of learning and understanding.

In this exhibition, artists were chosen who create work in series, examining some aspect of nature. They may be examining patterns in nature or the same location over a long period of time. Some combine and recombine singular elements that accumulate into a fascinating and revealing artwork or body of work.

These artists have transformed their fascination with deep observations of their individual environments into works that help us to see the beauty in the details of our world, celebrating both quiet and dramatic moments in nature.

Featured Artists

Scott Chatenever, Lynn Hanson, Dorothy Churchill-Johnson, Karen Kitchel, Maria Rendón, John Robertson, Sommer Roman, Carol Saindon, Catherine Eaton Skinner, Libby Smith, and Nicole Strasburg.
