In this show viewers will see a number of ways in which the artist members are showing their HeArts and the art created during months of lockdown.
Painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking and more will be available to the visitors just in time for the holidays.

Lea Lackey-Zachmannendeavors to bring you into the realm of awareness and sensing she extends to all living beings. “Still Standing Like The Trees” is a collection of images, started before the California fires this year. The artist says, “As their process towards completion continued they began to reflect the possible methods in which a conscious living being might respond to extreme circumstances. The trees, like all Nature have much to teach us.” These impressive new works, rendered in monotype with pencil, suggest viewing trees as sentient beings.

Woodie Anderson, Protection, Serigraph on cotton
The new works by artist and designer Woodie Anderson employ printmaking, drawing, sculpture and written language to explore the areas where identity, personal history and society intersect. “Weary Heart” shares work from her ongoing series, “Tooth and Nail,” about the fight for love and community, as well as the struggles of identity, self-protection, and self-projection. These prints, presented on paper and fabric, will delight and engage viewers with fresh, meaningful messages.

Come visualize through works by Jessica Tefft what happens when information is intentionally obscured. She says, “I got the idea for this show when I read the Mueller Report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. It felt as though I could not read two sentences without some part being blacked out – redacted – so the public couldn’t read it. But I kept looking at all the redactions. And I noticed the little black bars were often embellished with the words “May Cause Ongoing Harm.” If so many things could cause “ongoing harm,” I wondered, shouldn’t the American people know?”
Visitors will see many imaginings of ongoing harm caused by willful obfuscation conveyed through a variety of multi-media art. Many employ tongue-in-cheek commentary of the social, political, personal, world we live in.

The textile works by Susan Smoot have been created in a mindful way as offerings to soothe our battered souls during this pandemic. Using treasured vintage linens and a selection of curated fibers and ephemera, collaged works were created. Hand-dyeing, eco-printing natural fabrics and other textile processes have been employed to alter and enhance the materials. Meditative sewing by hand and machine allowed time to consider the heartbreaking reality surrounding the coronavirus. Messages of healing adorn the work with thoughts, wishes, dreams, and aspirations for a better future.
