Reception: Friday, Apr. 8 from 6-9 p.m. [RSVP HERE] or on view by appointment through Apr. 22, 2022. [Schedule a Viewing Appointment] About the artist: Amel Janae is a painter, turned photographer and seamstress who focuses on the human form throughout all her mediums. Most recently, Janae has honed in on self portraiture. With the original intention of self-reflection in mind, Janae has brought it to life by seeing her body through a lens outside of her own. That lens revealed a view of herself she had been waiting to see in real time. Attributes within herself that can be dissected in a visual image. Through Amel Janae’s use of chiaroscuro in her self portraits, she reveals only certain parts of herself. Despite knowing the beauty of the entirety, Janae anticipates that other parts (which she loves, but is hesitant to share) will be noticed, despite them being in the dark. Janae describes this body of work as a coming to terms with how she views herself, and letting go of how others do. Under My Skin will be the first true view inside Amel Janae’s mind.

Please join Julia and Aaron Morgan, members of the Mark Jackson Band, Grand Canyon Sundown, Drew Decker, David Sherry, and others for a performance to honor beloved songwriter, producer, and legendary pedal steel guitarist, David R. Morgan. Born in New York City and raised in Melvin, Illinois, David Morgan made his home in San Diego County in 1977 following a successful young career as a touring multi-instrumentalist with country and western bands in New England. He quickly earned a reputation as one of the most prolific and sought-after musicians in North County, particularly for his performances on the pedal steel guitar. In 1992 Morgan co-founded Spare Change with former Los Angeles and Bakersfield studio veteran Randy Sterling (Neil Diamond, Frank Zappa, Harry Nilsson) and fiddle player Stacey Slaughter. The trio released five albums and performed extensively throughout San Diego County. Morgan and Sterling established ‘Morgan Ranch Studios’ at Morgan’s home in Encinitas as a creative outpost to record their music and other local singer-songwriters. In addition to Spare Change, Morgan has recorded and played with numerous artists including The Mark Jackson Band, Grand Canyon Sundown, and his son, Aaron’s bands Golden Void and The Finches. David Morgan’s latest solo album, "Hindsight," pulls from material recorded 2010-2020 and was completed in the final months of his life. Though David will be missed, his music will live with us forever.
