In her current series DOUBLE EXPOSURE, Cathy Cooper Scott explores the feeling of color and texture. These pieces are executed on glass with chunky strokes of oil and spray paint - with freedom to explore beyond the boundary of the frame. The DOUBLE EXPOSURE series broadly reflects aspects of a landscape aesthetic —real and imagined. Surrounded daily, living in Southern California, with stunningly vibrant, whimsical and breathtaking natural beauty, from the Pacific Ocean beaches to the high desert mountains, Cathy is inspired and motivated to capture her experience of nature.

Andres Amador, featured artist in the current exhibition Impermanence, is a Northern California-based artist. His artwork can span over 100,000 sqft, achievable during low tide. With tight time constraints and big goals, Andres is posed with the question: ‘How does one create from within that which one is creating?’ Exploring this concept of self-creation has brought Andres to investigate natural and human-devised systems of structure and growth. His artworks do not last long- within minutes of finishing a piece, and often while still in progress, the returning tide begins resetting the canvas. This is not unsettling for Amador who values the contemplative act of creation within the serene and dramatic environments his work takes him. The entire act becomes a meditation of being in the moment, of celebrating and being at peace with life.
