Ground Work
Arielle Rebek
October 14–November 11, 2022
October 14, 5–8pm: opening reception and 2nd Friday Art Walk
November 11, 5–8pm: reception and 2nd Friday Art Walk
In Ground Work, Arielle Rebek examines physical materials and patterns within the landscape as a method of more deeply understanding human-maintained and altered natural spaces. The lens-based and cameraless photographic works in this exhibition are the result of routine visits and observations in local regional parks. Specifically, the Wildcat Canyon eucalyptus grove in Richmond, CA was one of the primary sites and sources for Ground Work. Arielle is interested in how these spaces are maintained and how they evolve over time through use and changes to the climate.
Arielle Rebek (she/her) is an Oakland-based artist and educator whose work employs photography and installation. Rebek engages in deep material investigation and experimental photographic processes as a means to explore magnitudes of time, photographic archives, and relationships within the natural environment. Arielle is originally from the Chicago area and earned her BA in Studio Art from Carleton College. She has an MFA in Art Studio from the University of California - Davis, where she was awarded the Margrit Mondavi Fellowship and Mary Lou Osborn Award. Rebek has exhibited internationally, notably the Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, the Institute of Contemporary Arts-Singapore, Chung 24 Gallery and Carleton College. She has participated in artist residencies at Google, LASALLE Topical Lab, The Image Flow, Kala Art Institute, and Root Division. Currently, Arielle is a lecturer in photography at University of California - Berkeley and California State University Sacramento.

"I am fascinated by human nature. It is so mysterious and makes me infinitely curious. I see the figure as the outside of our human world, and our inside world is created by the human mind. When my mind & body connect with my tools they start dancing: on the surface of a blank canvas, or with the clay in my hands finding shapes on their own. I often begin with quick sketches or start working quickly hoping to spark the unconscious and move on from there.” - Sunila Bajracharya
I am grateful to the EACH FOUNDATION for giving me the opportunity to have a studio at AWD and supporting me in my art journey
Sunila Bajracharya is the 2021–2022 The EACH Foundation Studio Artist Resident. Generously funded by the EACH Foundation, the residency aims to support emerging artists by providing free studio space, exhibition opportunity, and exposure to the public for one year.

Found Not Lost
a mixed media art exhibit
June 9–July 29, 2022: exhibition dates
Thursday–Saturday, 1–8pm: public hours
June 10, 5–8pm: opening reception and 2nd Friday Art Walk
July 8, 5–8pm: opening reception and 2nd Friday Art Walk
Marsha Balian, Katie McCann (aka beetleblossom) and Mirto Golino are artists who incorporate vintage and discarded objects and ephemera into their artwork.
Story telling weaves its way through each of these artist’s work like a magical thread. Fragments of memories are transformed into mixed media, assemblage and collage with elements of humor, wonder andcuriosity.
Reclaimed materials find new homes in unexpected contexts. Paper, fabric, photographs, nails, buttons, wood, and strange parts of forgotten objects are part of the “palette” that find their way into the eclectic artwork of each of these artists. The resulting compositions are rich in texture, color and emotion.

The Inefficiency of Explanation
Chas Blackford
April 1–May 21, 2022: exhibition dates
Thursday–Saturday, 1–8pm: public hours
Friday April 8, 5–8pm: opening reception and Art Walk
Friday May 13, 5–8pm: reception and Art Walk
Since the first hominids began to depict their visions on cave walls, their fellow beings have undoubtably asked: ‘What does it mean?’. Many millennia later those questions are still being asked.
How best to answer that? We have academics, art critics and often the creators themselves offering interpretation and insight. The dilemmas that artists face in addressing this intrinsic need of explanation are multiple.
The artist may feel the meaning is apparent and needs no further discussion or revelation; they may deliberately desire to be cryptic or enigmatic; some may not be able to articulate their expression beyond what they have already rendered while for others being aloof may reinforce a desired air of mystery to their art.
Perhaps viewers expect too much in the way of defined meaning, looking for more than what’s there. My belief is that most artists appreciate visceral reaction to their work without the guidance of external analysis.
A titling a work can help guide (or obfuscate) the interpretation; however some may feel the label “Untitled” is an artistic cop out. So it may really come down to what Rod Stewart so aptly sang: “Every Picture Tells a Story (Don’t it?)”.
Please enjoy my stories and forgive the inefficiency of my explanations, whether visual, title or verbal.

UNFOLDING
accordion books
Kathleen Edwards
February 11–March 25, 2022
Open Thursday-Saturday, 1–8pm
March 11, 5–8pm
In-person reception and Art Walk
There are infinite possibilities of intimate, sequential worlds that can be contained between two covers. A small studio space with little storage inspired me to use the accordion book form to create larger pieces, both traditional and wall-hung.
My imagery explores a synthesis between human and plant, life and death, past and present, emotion and materiality. My greatest inspiration is the beauty and forms of nature. I am working at a personal level while also holding an awareness of the universal and metaphorical, hoping that my tiny actions on paper can create and communicate an energy shift. In a time when Judeo-Christian cultural stories about our relationship with the Earth are not working, recognizable imagery allows me to explore new conceptual possibilities through visual storytelling.

Phyllis Thelen: Coming Full Circle
January 10–February 27, 2020
Receptions: January 10 • 5–8pm + February 14 • 5–8pm
POLITICAL AND ECOLOGICAL WORK
These two bodies of recent work, Planet Earth Screwed and Take Shelter (from the News) continue Thelen’s artistic response to political and ecological events and issues.
PLANET EARTH SCREWED
Planet Earth Screwed is a series of a dozen globes, where each globe defines a pressing issue that challenges our planet. Each globe defines an issue, such as pollution, overpopulation, the effects of climate change, yet when seen together they send a powerful message about our disregard for our most precious resources.
Several encaustic paintings accompany the globes. These works convey the strength of our emotions as we contemplate the state of the planet.
TAKE SHELTER (FROM THE NEWS)
Thelen has made a dozen umbrellas out of paper and bamboo. They are full size, waterproof, and open and close like normal umbrellas. Each one is covered with clippings from newspapers and magazines from recent years. The umbrellas recall Thelen’s earlier sanctuaries or small retreats, which were also designed to protect us from turbulent events.
While umbrellas are normally intended to shelter us from nature’s nurturing sun and rain, here they have a different purpose. These umbrellas are covered by therelentless storm of news that bombards us every day. They seem to offer only temporary shelter, as the storm continues.

Reception: July 12 • 5–8pm
My painting style is basically figurative. I’m fascinated by the properties of oil paints and the dynamics of its colors. I use a limited palette in each one of my pieces, to set a mood and to try and bring out feelings and emotion. My subjects are whatever interests me. Edgar Degas talks about ambiguity and I leave it to the viewer to experience my paintings and form their own conclusions.
“A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, and some fantasy. When you always make your meaning perfectly plain you end up boring people” ― Edgar Degas

Influenced by shapes and pattern found in urban landscapes and nature, my work pares form its essence revealing the structures surrounding us. I find beauty in the elemental, the slightly brutal yet quiet forms often hidden in plain sight. I explore structure through repetition, modularity and texture. I'm driven to create quiet simplicity from the many and discovering the meditative beauty in the textures created. www.karyngabriel.com

Music in the Air
Debbie Patrick
February 8–March 2, 2019
Reception: February 8 • 5–8pm
As a “military brat” who traveled extensively, I have always been fascinated by people in other cultures - their unique faces and personalities. From early on, the main focus of my work has been portraiture. At the age of 14, I studied briefly with Guy Bernardo, and after receiving my first portrait commission while in high school, I was hooked on becoming an artist. I married into a very musical family and, not having a single ounce of musical ability, became an avid listener and lover of all types of music. Unable to create music, I turned instead to painting to express my appreciation of both musicians and dancers, trying to capture them in the act of doing what they love. I enjoy working in the studio, doing figure studies while listening to anything from blues and rock to opera and classical.
The paintings in “Music in the Air” depict a variety of performers - professionals onstage with dramatic lighting, casual outdoor street musicians, dancers waiting in the wings. Alternating between oils and pastels, I let the subject and the quality of light I wish to achieve dictate which medium I use.I always try to capture a subject’s unique personality or mood, especially as reflected in their eyes or a certain gesture.
As a member of several art organizations, including the Pastel Society of the West Coast (Distinguished Artist status), Pastel Society of America, the Marin Society of Artists and Golden Gate Marin Artists, I have exhibited and won awards in juried shows across the United States. www.debbiepatrickart.com

Stories in Clay
ceramics sculpture by Susan Press
January 11—February 2, 2019
Reception: January 11, 5pm–8pm
Since the early 70’s, I have been working primarily with ceramic clay. I studied art at the San Francisco Art Institute with focus on lithographic printmaking and hand-built ceramics. I studied under Richard Graf and Richard Shaw.
Using both low and high fire clay I construct variations on the human figure. Sometimes the form takes that of hanging puppets and other times free standing or walled-boxed figures. My work has often been described as illustrative. With each piece I do attempt to tell a story either with the figure or figures in the piece, and/or the materials I use to embellish the work. Photo strips are chosen to relate to the figures and their expressions. Found materials are meant to trigger a memory or personal story in those viewing a figure. I hope to sometimes stir emotions including delight and humor.

Curiously Grim
digital collage and mixed media by Eric Kelly with Le Mysteri
September 14—October 6, 2018
Reception: September 14, 5pm–8pm
Victorian Photography Takes A Surreal Turn In San Rafael Art Installation
Drawing from his extensive collection of peculiar 19th century photography as well as classic public domain images, Eric Kelly uses digital processing to combine and transform antique images into surreal dreamscapes and assemblages. He constructs the artwork in layers of metal leaf, digital prints, found objects, and resin, mounted on wooden panels or antique printers trays. Some of his artworks use multiple layers of clear resin to float images and objects in three dimensional space, creating the illusion of being suspended in liquid.
The end result can be unsettling, with viewers finding themselves face to face with the unflinching gaze of portrait sitters long since forgotten, but now revivified within a strange dream tableau. Described as “curiously grim” by SF Station, his art can also be darkly humorous – one print series transforms unintentionally absurd old photos into storybook illustrations, complete with florid Victorian-style captions.
Resembling a theater set more than the whitewashed space of a typical art gallery, the installation showcasing the art is designed by Rodney Griffin, for many years associated with the Edwardian Ball, and a founding member of Le Mysterium Art Collective. His whimsical lamps, often with antique cameras as the base, perform dual duty as gallery lighting and decor.
Eric Kelly studied art at California College of Arts and Crafts, and over the years explored lithography, paper making, traditional collage, drawing, graphic arts and commercial design. Although he now uses sophisticated digital imaging, his artwork remains rooted in tangible, meticulously assembled materials, and harkens back to an era when the boundaries between fine art, craft and decoration were less strongly drawn than today.

Through A Bird’s Eye
Molly Brown
August 10-September 8, 2018
Receptions: August 10 • 5–8pm
An exhibition of images seen from a bird’s perspective. This collection of mostly new work in oil includes seascapes, landscapes and abstractions of the natural world. Natural colors, patterns and atmospheres are paramount.
Artist Molly Brown has been trained in scientific illustration and pays great attention to detail in her artwork. This new work is a departure and focuses on mood and color, abstracting land and seascapes. All of the work can be imagined as how a bird might perceive the world while flying or perched on a branch. Changing the viewer’s perspective is the desire and goal.
Molly Brown is the founder and teacher of the Bolinas School of Botanical Art which is currently exhibiting in the Donor’s Gallery. She receives continued inspiration from all the plant and animal species found in the coastal environments of West Marin. mollybrownartist.com

Interpretations
watercolors and mixed media by Liz Schiff & Lynette Porteous
June 8-July 7, 2018
Reception: June 8 • 5–8pm
Liz Schiff and Lynette Porteous are long-time friends and watercolor artists. Liz is also a long-time monoprint artist. These two artists showcase paintings that reflect their interpretations both of what they see and what they imagine.
Inspired by a recent trip to China where she purchased an assortment of calligraphy papers, Liz combines these Chinese papers with bird imagery in a series of mixed media monoprints entitled Flight to China. Liz uses a variety of textures and colors to create paintings that are often whimsical, often lyrical—each one with a different story to tell.
Lynette takes her inspiration from the world around her. This exhibit features her beautifully rendered watercolor landscapes. With a rich palette of exquisite color combinations, Lynette's paintings infuse the viewer not only with a sense of place, but also with a sense of wonder.

Disturbing Times
solo exhibition by Sanda Manuila
April 13–28, 2018
Reception: April 13 • 5–8pm
Disturbing Times Statement:
Since the 2016 elections, events have been troublesome and the future uncertain. My purpose in this exhibit is to question our global situation in these disturbing times. My paintings are visual stories, which I emotionally charge to engage the viewers to question what they see and how they feel.
Biography:
Born in Geneva, Switzerland of Romanian political refugees, Sanda Manuila experienced expatriation and isolation at a very early age. As a young adult she left her native country and moved to Northern California where she is currently living.
Over the years Manuila has learned how to become a citizen of the world, a stratus she also gained by studying art over many years and in different locations. She studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Bordeaux, France, Atelier Bessil in Montpellier, France, and at the Cornish Institute of the Arts in Seattle, WA. More recently she has traveled to Italy to study at the Angel Academy in Florence and in Rome Artworks in Rome. Additionally she participated in an Artist Residency at Dacia Gallery in NYC.
Manuila has participated in many group exhibits, among which at the Napa Valley Museum in Yountville, CA, the Moca in Novato, CA, Art Works Downtown in San Rafael, the Southern Nevada Museum of Modern Art in Las Vegas, NV as well as Dacia Gallery and First St. Gallery in NYC.
Sanda Manuila creates oil and pastel paintings, which are stylized representational images from which exude an allegorical quality. Her visual stories depict a state of mind in which the boundaries between dream and reality have become very fluid. Her purpose is to make art that depicts the challenging path of life, and what it entails to be a woman in an intimate, social, cultural, and universal realm.

Home Refuge Sanctuary
Terra Linda High School Students
March 9–April 7, 2018
Reception: March 9 • 5–8pm
In light of the California fires, immigration issues that many of our high school students and their families are facing in the context of the recent polarizing political and social change, Terra Linda art students explore and question the meaning of Home and Refuge and Sanctuary. Home is often seen as a place of refuge or sanctuary, but sometimes it's not. Where do we look for solace then? Where do we find peace, quiet, and a place to reflect or to get away from problems or stresses? Where do we feel safe? Is that a place, or an activity?

Journeys of Renewal: Contemplative Photography
Cindy Pavlinac
February 9–March 6, 2018
Reception: February 9 • 5–8pm
Artist Talk & Workshop: Saturday, February 24, 10am–12 Noon
Professional photographer Cindy Pavlinac has dedicated herself to exploring sites of ancient wisdom and community. She works intuitively using the camera as her tool to communicate the beauty, mystery, and power of place. Labyrinths largely influence her work, both in the metaphor they represent and the grace of their simple geometry. Journeys of Renewal: Contemplative Photography will include images of local and historic labyrinths as well as other places of great presence, and the gallery floor will be transformed into a walkable labyrinth installation.
“Labyrinths have woven a meandering path through the human psyche for thousands of years,” Cindy says, “and are often at the heart of the quest for self-knowledge, awakening, personal integration, community building, and transcendence. These single pathway designs engage the body while freeing the mind. They symbolize the journey of life in that the physical turnings of the path, alternating right and left, shake loose what no longer serves. The center point invites pause in a state of balance. The return journey offers new perspectives, insights, and hope.”
In addition to her images of labyrinths, Journeys of Renewal: Contemplative Photography will feature other pictures of sacred spaces that invite reflection and provide viewers moments of quietude. It will also include a selection of Cindy’s newest body of work: colorful, abstracted photos of water and nature printed on metal.
To complement the exhibit, AWD will offer an artist talk and slideshow with Cindy on Saturday, February 24th, 2018 from 10 a.m. to Noon. The presentation will be followed by an interactive workshop. Please register by emailing Cindy Pavlinac: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..">This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The class fee payment of $25 per registrant will be handled at the door the day of class. Bring a friend and enjoy a discounted rate of $20 per registrant.
Cindy Pavlinac is a fine art photographer, multimedia presenter, and exhibiting artist. Her images have won numerous awards and appeared in publications such as Time Magazine’s Pictures of the Year, 2002. She presents internationally at venues like Oxford, is an Art History instructor at Dominican University, and offers individual photography mentoring. Please visit her website: www.capavlinac.com to see more examples of Cindy’s art and publications. A gift book, “Marin Labyrinths, Circling Home, Photography & Prose by Cindy Pavlinac” will be published to accompany the exhibit.

Reception: November 10 • 5–8pm
Imagine Pablo Picasso in a three-piece suit, and you’ve imagined Bob Urban. He began making art as a youngster, but soon faced an obstacle: he had to earn a living. After tours in the US Navy, University of Southern California, the University of New Mexico and the University of California, Berkeley – where he nourished his artistic impulse by creating posters for car dealers – he got a hair cut, donned a suit, and went to work for Life magazine, first in San Francisco, then in New York. Next stop: Helene Curtis in Chicago. Then it was off to San Francisco and the beginning of a career in advertising and marketing that eventually led him to launch his own marketing consultancy—still wearing coats and ties, and making art for his kids and grandkids after hours—until he turned 70. Whereupon he sold his consultancy, donated his coats and ties to the Salvation Army, and turned an after-hours avocation into a full-time pursuit.
The consequences can be enjoyed in this exhibition, which features drawings and paintings of portraits, landscapes, and fantasy.

The Lopsided Boogie and How She Came Out of Darkness
video installation by Angelique Benicio
August 11-September 9, 2017
Receptions: August 11 + September 8 • 5–8pm
The Lopsided Boogie and How She Came Out of Darkness, is best described as performance work created for film. The main character, Lopsided Boogy, tries to navigate her way through a dark but dreamy world where white grease-painted clowns feast at a chaotic and decadent tea party. Accompanying the film is a selection from Benicio's series of mixed-media photographic compositions which depict her fantastical creatures moving through strange worlds.

Artifacts of Intention
Nate Castillo
July 14-August 5, 2017
Reception: July 14 • 5–8pm
Artifacts of Intention is a process oriented body of work that reflects a desire to rediscover a long lost love of drawing while embracing art without ideas. Utilizing repurposed or modified power tools and nontraditional techniques of mark making Nate Castillo surrenders a measure of control and allows the work to become a collaboration between artist and tool. The result is a drawing that Nate witnessed develop while embracing the artifacts of his intention.

"A Face from Every Angle"
Robert L. Stupack
June 9-July 8, 2017
Reception: June 9 • 5–8pm
In 1976, UC Berkeley Anthropologists determined that the first inhabitants of California occupied Ring Mountain in Corte Madera some 8,000-12,000 years ago. Their lives centered around their "God" (a now dormant volcano), fertility, and the strange creatures around them. These technologically advanced people recreated images of these forces on their tools made from stone, wood, pyroclasts, glass, and metal. Seventeen years of research and discovery have produced the largest collection of its kind. All items in this exhibition were collected in Marin.
Abstracticum
Mark Olson
May 5–June 3, 2017
Reception: May 12 • 5–8pm
Orange Green © Mark Olson
The visual archeology of color through time. The painting is time compressed, and its drama is color as seen through a lens. Point and background. Discourse and dissonance. Layers and territories. Eruptions and histories. Movement and decay. Through shifting light and mood the stories are told in time, as time itself is captured and held by the endless light of the painting.

Painter Mark Olson is a graduate of San Francisco State University, and California College of the Arts. He currently lives and works in San Rafael, California www.markolsonart.com

Drawings, Cyanotypes, and Works on Paper
by Barbara Bryn Klare
February 10–March 4, 2017
Reception: February 10 • 5–8pm
In November 2016, I was artist-in-residence at the Icelandic Textile Centre in Blönduós, Iceland. Blönduós is a small town in northwestern Iceland where the glacial river Blanda meets the Arctic Sea. The pieces in this show were inspired by my time there and in Akureryi, where I stayed in a weaving studio.
The show includes indigo-dipped landscapes, cyanotypes of wool roving and ram’s horns, textile drawings, sketches, and ink drawings inspired by the water, snow, light, and mountains of northern Iceland. www.barbarabrynklare.com

The Near Future Ago
January 13-February 4, 2017
Reception: January 13 • 5–8pm
The Near Future Ago is labor of love by curator, manager, and artist Kip Westerfield. His exhibition-happening format came out of a need for places to exhibit emerging artists. He states “because I've had some experience throwing shows and organizing groups, I chose to start a loose knit group of artists who wanted to show with each other, mostly students, skateboarders, musicians, etc from my life and friends. The connections spread pretty quick once folks found out I was motivated to do the work of keeping it all going. There have been over 80 different artists in our shows and we are growing with each event.”
Westerfield works at Smith Andersen North gallery and frame shop, where he convinced the owner to let him have the first show for a one-night only event. That one-night event brought 34 artists and about 150 guests. After a second successful show at the gallery, other places got wind of it and requested The Near Future Ago in their space for repeated events. Other venues include The West End Bar, Bedrock Records, ProofLab skateshop, and ANDTHEM gallery in San Rafael. This exhibition at Art Works Downtown will be the 14th event featuring an exciting variety of artists who have participated in every exhibition as well as artists who are new to the scene.

A Journey of Imagination
paintings by Louise Finn Gould
November 11-December 3, 2016
Reception: November 11 • 5–8pm
Louise Finn Gould states: "In my work I seek a balance between the real and the imaginary. I am inspired by the beauty and majesty of nature. I am intrigued by my dreams at night. I am in awe of the ever changing sky and how clouds shift and change. I am touched by family photographs, both my own and others, often capturing subtle connections and emotions. I am committed to the journey of creative exploration. I believe that each person has a unique voice and expression that is there for their discovery if they so choose. It is my hope that my own personal expression of creativity will spark in others a feeling or memory."

Doubling Up: Painterly Prints & Printerly Paintings
Liz Schiff and Mimi Makowsky
April 8–30, 2016
Reception: April 8 • 5–8pm
Liz Schiff and Mimi Makowsky are long-time watercolor artists who also share a passion for monoprints. In this exhibit, both artists showcase recent works that juxtapose monoprinting with painting, marrying the unique textures of printmaking with the transparent characteristics of watercolor.
Works by Liz Schiff feature her "By the Wind Sailor" and "By the Fly" series. The "By the Wind" series was inspired by jellyfish known as By-the-Wind Sailors that periodically wash up on Northern California shores. Liz makes impressions with the dried "sailors" and other material, and then paints back into these monoprints to create unique underwater-like imagery. Also included in the show are pieces from Liz's "By the Fly" series where she uses primarily butterfly and leaf imagery to create small flights of fancy.
Working in watercolor enhanced with both monotype and transfers, Mimi Makowsky explores a sense of place and renewal. She uses recurring themes of light and vegetation to express her enthusiasm for a new phase of life.

The 138 Houses We Lived In When We Were 10, Drawn From Memory Alone |
The 138 Houses We Lived In When We Were 10, Drawn From Memory Alone
An installation by Lara Myers
March 11–April 2, 2016
Opening Reception: March 11 • 5–8pm
Drawing Collection Receptions: March 12, 19, 26 + April 2 • 1–4pm
The 138 Houses We Lived In When We Were 10, Drawn From Memory Alone is a show about our visual and anecdotal memory of our childhood homes.
Since 2013, I have interviewed 138 people about the house they lived in when they were 10 years old.
I had each person draw their childhood home from memory alone without looking at any photos or contacting family for information. If they could not remember a detail of the house, say, where the windows were or the type of roof the house had, it was left out of the drawing. The focus is on the visual memory of these houses as opposed to an accurate representation of the houses. I then recorded each person telling a story about their house.
