Here are the five upcoming exhibits: 

MPAF – As You Like It, Gill Gallery (Monterey Peninsula Art Foundation) What I see is not what you see. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 

Light as a Feather, Dark as the Rain: Eighteen Years of Watercolor Painting by Zoya Scholis, Dyke Gallery Zoya Scholis is primarily a process painter. Her work features abstract forms from nature –figures, birds, leaves, petals, fruit. Much of her work has a dreamy fairytale feel. This show combines the work from four series: Thermocline, Stria, Beach Town, Brushwork Creatures and Plant Life. For Scholis, art making is an exploration of psyche and an experiment with the Divine. 

WHAT DID THE THUNDER SAY? An Exhibition of Paintings by Elizabeth Wrightman and Sculpture by John Dotson, Annand Gallery This exhibit continues Wrightman’s fourteen-year journey into her own Celtic history. From the ancient Song of Amergin, to enigmatic James Joyce, and others, she has, on canvas, companioned a few of the images that they left us—footprints into the healing and shape-shifting world of Irish play and spirituality. She welcomes poet, author, sculptor, and educator John Dotson who will be showing five sculptures chosen from over four decades of his work “in the spirit of the depths and in the spirit of the times.” Together, Wrightman and Dotson pose the question: 

WHAT DID THE THUNDER SAY? Wind Beneath Your Wings – Christine Crozier and Victoria Galitzine, Boyer Gallery Plein air and studio oil paintings of birds, gardens, and landscapes of coastal California by Christine Crozier and Victoria Galitzine. Nestled in a garden, surrounded by the colors and scents of flowers, listening to a chorus of birds and insects or standing on an ocean clifftop, feeling the brisk wind ruffle your hair and lift your spirits. These are the beautiful moments both artists are inspired to capture and share in these lively paintings.
