March
ANNE GREGORY
New Water Colors and New Charcoals

The last charcoal drawing I created for this exhibit is called "Whorl is the World". And it could speak for all the large drawings and small paintings in the exhibit. I realized after completing this drawing that I've been interested in this whorl or whirl for a long time. Sometimes the directional movement is descending, sometimes twirling, but catching disparate things--ribbons, lace, bats, birds, fish, insects, anything really. It all adds up, combines into one whole---world.

Introducing CAROL SETTERLUND
Paintings and Wooden Sculpture

Born in Humboldt County, Carol Setterlund has lived in Northern California for most of her life. A self-taught sculptor, she has spent over fifteen years exploring the complexities of human existence in forms of roughly hewn wood. For much of the early part of her career, she drew inspiration from natural forms and the landscape and was strongly influenced by British abstract artist Barbara Hepworth. In the late 1980s, however, she turned to figurative works of intentional ambiguity and paradox. Setterlund carves and shape wood into forms that touch on those parts of the human experience that are outside of time and place.

KEEPERS

noun

1. a person who manages or looks after something in particular
overseer, steward, caretaker
2. a thing worth keeping

Artists serve a unique roll in society. In good times as well as bad,
artists are the keepers of imagination and the creative process.

In an era when the arts are taking a back seat to the economic woes of the
times, there are stewards of the intangible, they are the Keepers.
