For art lovers, there's a bite size painting exhibit going on now at the beautiful Mission Hills / Hillcrest Knox Library. Local artist Lauren Elyse S. has work from the past two years on view under the theme "Quiet Alchemy" - if you're interested in a little daydream, stop by and enjoy the show. It runs from September 3rd to November 25th and can be seen during regular library hours. For a preview, you can check out her work via her website and socials - laurenelyseart.com and @laurenelyseart Here's the artist's own words on the paintings displayed: In whose mind does there not exist enchanted vaults? My own is a nebulous space, where live blurred impressions and hazy, lamp-lit notions, imagination holding court alongside ember’d passions, all brewing quietly — often impatiently — awaiting sublimation. Transmutation of thought into painted existence is, for me, an alchemical turn — a suggestion of magic in this world for those who would see it. Should any doubt this, I offer fireflies. Featuring scenes of San Diego and farther afield, painted both en plein air and from echoes of memory, to representations of a love of books, the small hours of night, and a curtain drawn back on personal tableaus — these paintings are a gathering of quicksilver moments, longings and musings, drawn out through a bit of quiet alchemy. In the archaic sense.
