The root of this collection of recent works by Sandy Marvin is her fascination with the grace and beauty of the natural world. It may be the arabesque curves of a garlic scape, a sweep of grama grass or an intimate view along a frozen creek that catches her eye and invites her to interpret her vision in a painting. Sometimes it may also be an interesting arrangement of things, both natural and manmade.
Sandy’s paintings are layered, combining watercolor, water-soluble pencil and soft pastel. She prefers to allow evidence of her process to remain visible in the finished work.
Nathan Dominik is a sculptural artist using various techniques and mediums with wood being his favorite. In this Naturally Occurring exhibit, he will be using a large variety of the world's exotic and local hardwoods. His new work will include methods such as stack lamination, block carving, and even steam bending. Nathan’s vision for his work comes from nature or an organic interpretation of what he sees. For this show he will be displaying pieces that uniquely portray plants, leaves, seeds and water.
