Rinat Goren with her wall at Holding Light.

She works in encaustic — beeswax and pigment fused with heat. The beeswax is translucent, which means light doesn’t just reflect off the surface. It travels through it. The glow in her paintings comes from within.

Her wall is the warmest in the show. Oranges, reds, yellows — circles and ovals accumulating across canvases like ideas forming. Come see it in person.

Now showing in Holding Light · Mirada Art · Through June 22.

Julia Kahan works in the oldest light-based medium there is. Her stained glass pieces are made from silica and mineral pigment — and then held up to the light. Every piece changes with the hour, the season, the angle of the sun. No two viewings are quite the same. In a show about holding light, stained glass is the most literal answer. The work only exists because of the light passing through it. Now showing at Mirada Art on Main through June 22.

Tomorrow is the day! Come celebrate the opening of Holding Light at Mirada Art on Main. CoCA Open Studios runs the coast from Half Moon Bay to Montara, 10 to 5 – and we’re the perfect midpoint stop. Join us for the opening reception, 1 to 4 PM, and let twelve artists show you what light can do.

The light changes here in June. Long evenings, fog that softens everything, a particular quality of brightness that travels a long way before it reaches the shore. Our new show, Holding Light, opens today — twelve artists working in painting, photography, glass, jewelry, fiber, and encaustic, all in conversation with that light.

Open Thursday through Monday, 11–5. 355 Main Street, Half Moon Bay.

Erika Adkins makes work that sits at the intersection of the natural world and the human one, finding the places where systems collide and something is trying to get through.

Her mixed media paintings in What Remains draw from two powerful sources. The chair series takes its starting point from Shirley Chisholm’s call to action: if there isn’t a seat at the table, bring a folding chair. The work asks what it takes not just to arrive but to stay, to build a place for yourself inside a system that wasn’t designed with you in mind. Parable Map is in conversation with Octavia Butler’s visionary novel, mapping a world in the process of coming apart and being remade.

Layered, urgent, and deeply considered. On view at Mirada Art through May 25.

Jin Wang designs jewelry that begins where the natural world leaves off.

Working under her label Calichinchin, she builds each piece by hand around stones chosen for their interior life: agates that carry their own landscapes, baroque pearls held in branching silver, clusters of gemstones assembled the way tide pools accumulate. Her settings are cast through the lost wax process, an ancient technique in which a hand-sculpted form is burned away to leave its exact impression in metal. The molds she carves are intricate, unhurried, and completely her own.

No two pieces are alike, because the stones themselves are not alike.

Her work is on view at Mirada Art in Half Moon Bay through May 25.
