Closing reception: 7:30-9:30 p.m. Nov. 9. The Hill Street Country Club is thrilled to announce the opening of "Safe Haven, Dark Corners," a powerful solo exhibition by South Bay San Diego artist Vanessa Rishel. The show will run from September 21st to November 10th, with a special opening reception on September 21st from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Vanessa Rishel's latest body of work delves into the complex realms of the psyche, utilizing soft focus dreamscapes to explore the inner workings of identity and self-perception. "Safe Haven, Dark Corners" showcases Rishel’s unique approach to painting, where childhood trinkets, plushies, and anime aesthetics become models for her evocative scenes. This method imbues her large scale monochrome oil paintings with a sense of theatricality and emotional depth. The exhibition features "Insomniac Dreamscapes," a series that incorporates baby angel figures and elements of storytelling akin to comics and teen angel art. These elements are deeply intertwined with real anxieties and the quest for self-acceptance. Rishel invites viewers into a liminal space where memory, inner child, and personal trauma confront everyday harsh realities. Her work serves as both a refuge and a medium for exploring existential themes, encouraging introspection and dialogue about mental health and personal identity.

A heart warming play based on Iileen Beckermans memoir. Love, Loss and What I Wore promises an evening filled with laughter, tears, and relatable moments. This play is a unique, theatrical experience, blending the wit and wisdom of the Efron sisters with Beckman‘s poignant storytelling. This is a story with a chorus of women’s voices that speak of bittersweet stories about everything from motherhood, wardrobe malfunctions, experiences in the dressing room, divorce, grief, cancer, and other matters of the heart using clothing as a metaphor for women’s experiences. If there is one thing, the female species has in common is a deep and abiding love/hate relationship with their wardrobe. This wonderfully witty show illustrates what one wears to the party is sometimes more memorable than the party itself. Our cast brings these stories to life with such authenticity and warmth. Audiences will feel like they’re having a heart-to-heart with their best friend over coffee,”said Dena Mattox, the Director. “It’s a celebration of women’s stories and the strength found in shared experiences.” Cast: Dena Mattox, Catherine DeBrule, Milena (Sellers) Phillips, Donnalee Brayman, Bowles and Dr. Victoria Meyers.
