⚡𝟯 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗯𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲!⚡ 📅 FREE online auction registration is OPEN! (link in bio) 📅 Online bidding opens Sept 27 📅 Exhibition celebration: Sun, Sept 28, 3–6PM at the museum Meet five more artists in this year’s auction + exhibition: 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗦𝘁. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗿 (@little_sketchy ) In 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘈𝘯𝘯𝘦’𝘴 𝘓𝘢𝘤𝘦, St. Clair paints the flower in its waning stage, attentive to its shift from bloom to decline. Working in watercolor and ink, she heightens both fragility and persistence, revealing her sensitivity to cycles of growth, loss, and renewal. 𝗜𝗻𝗲𝘇 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗿 (@inez_storer ) Storer’s practice spans painting, collage, and assemblage, pulling together scraps of memory, history, and imagination. 𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘦 reflects her ongoing dialogue with Surrealism and her refusal to separate past from present, or play from rigor. 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗻 (@beathornton ) In 𝘗𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘖𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘵, a silver gelatin print developed with elderberries, yarrow, and mugwort, Thornton pairs place and process. A land artist, and archivist, she forages plants and uses rainwater to create developer recipes. Rooted in bioregionalism and material history, her work connects ecology, chemistry, and the ephemerality of the natural world. 𝗔𝘂𝗯𝗿𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻 (@waubi_saubi ) In 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘢, Trinnaman uses photography to probe the porous boundary between the human and nonhuman. Based in Bolinas, the artist’s work is grounded in ecological questions, exploring how desire, prescription, and interdependence shape our relationships to place and one another. 𝗩𝗮𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 (@vanwaring ) With 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘮𝘴, Waring transforms fragments into form, layering drawing, textile, and fabric play. Born into a family of artists, she approaches art-making as both precision and whimsy, an expansive practice that embraces imperfection, patchwork, and the hidden stories stitched into daily life.

Blub blub BUB. 🐟🐠🐡 Something fishy been going on. I recently created this piece, stitching together w busy hands and heavy head contemplating evolving and devolving moments…old beginnings, new endings, having to start over, finding each other in the messy middle… These thoughts even before these little fishies found legs and ran away from us. So who was the mind that felt the desire to rip this piece literally off the wall while on display of a deeply treasured local art gallery ? And well, If you see THIS STOLEN ART at large grab yer fishing line and reel em back home!
