Flowers in Many Media
Georgia O'Keefe once observed that
"Everyone has many associations with a flower - the idea of flowers. You put out your hand to touch the flower - lean forward to smell it - maybe touch it with your lips almost without thinking - or give it to someone to please them. Still in a way - nobody sees a flower - really - it is so small - we haven't time - and to see takes time like to have a friend takes time."
Hanford St. Gallery invites you to take some time to enjoy a wide variety of approaches to how one can see a flower. Anticipating the full blossoming of the coming warm weather we have asked local and regional artists working in a wide range of mediums to bring us their special insights. Flowers in photographs, oils, acrylics, watercolors and collage; flowers sculpted in glass or interpreted in fabric, real flowers, silk ones even paper ones all come together in one grand splash.
Opening April 4th with a reception for the artists on Saturday, April 6 from 4 to 7pm the show will run until Sunday, April 28. Participating artists include George Ann Bowers, Sarah Dixon, Linda Erfle, Annie Fountain, Alice Friederichs, Sharon Galligan, Krista Glavich, Lois Tucker Herrick, Al Herrick, Heather Hopman, David Hopman, Barbara Lee, Vicky Matulich, Dianne Poinski, Sandra Poteet, Lynn Slade, Katherine Venturelli and Nolan Winkler.
