Majestic Photographs, Nature Inspired Ceramics, Paintings of Succulents and Abstract Rhythms

Artists Reception: Sunday October 7th, 2:30 to 4:30 pm

The Lamorinda Arts Council is delighted to present the paintings of Kath Balamuth, Ruth Kolman Brophy and Friends, Sergiy Pechersky’s photographs, and ceramics from Ellen Sachtschale, Julie Langley and Miriam Jewell during the month of October at the Art Gallery in the Orinda Library.

Kath Balamuth calls this exhibit her Succulent Succulents Series; she says that succulents are easy for her to work with because they offer her all the elements of art she enjoys: form, color, texture, scale, value, line and shape.  Ruth Kolman Brophy and Friends (Lynn Glenn, Tina Pressler, and Elise Marshall) have an apt theme for the work they are showing – Abstract Rhythms. Each of them explores creating abstract art in a different way – some works combine figurative elements and some do not.

Sergiy Pechersky‘s work focuses on Yosemite and the Eastern Sierras.  An accomplished photographer who has exhibited extensively, he is showing about a dozen photographs.  Ellen Sachtschale, Julie Langley, and Miriam Jewell create and fire ceramics in the studio they have been sharing for the past three years.  Their theme for the 30 works they will be showing, Nature Pottery, arose out of their shared fascination for the myriad forms occurring in nature.

This is an eclectic collection of work that is not to be missed!
