October Exhibit - Sally Remembers the 60s & 70s
Anyone who lived through the late
60s and early 70s in the United States vividly remembers the upheaval
and turmoil of those years. Sally Stephenson was an art major at Ohio
State University (OSU) during that time of campus riots and hippie lifestyle.
Much of the artwork in this show is from her college days in 1968 to
1971.
"I was not a hippie," Sally states, "but
many around me were, especially in the art department." "Looking at
my artwork now," Sally explains," I feel it totally reflects the period
- at least how I experienced it."
You may meet Sally on the Second Saturday Reception on October 14,
4:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Below are a few examples of Sally's art.

June Exhibit - Then and Now
Ann
Ragland Bowns returns to the Gathering place Gallery for the June exhibit
for a retrospective of her work over the last 50 years. It begins with
some rather traditional oil paintings in the Fifties. As she became
known, she became interested in experimental mediums and soon became
adept at batiking.
Batiking is an art that originated in Indonesia
and literally means "writing in wax." Ann has had many showings in
Sacramento and many commissions for her work.

April Art Exhibit - Moments Remembered
The Art Committee is delighted
to welcome back Dennis Marks for April. Dennis has exhibited as a photographer
as well as an artist in different shows. During the month of April, Dennis
will be sharing photographs of “Moments Remembered.”
Because it is often crowded on Sundays without
enough time to stand quietly in the Gathering Place and inspect the pictures
on exhibit, the Art Committee invites you to come on Second Saturday, April 8,
from 4:00 to 6:00 P.M. and support your local artist.
Below are examples of Dennis' work.

March Exhibit -- Through the Eyes of A Preschooler
The
art exhibit for March is a collection of work of Carmichael Presbyterian
Preschool students. Art plays an important part in the lives of young
children. The National Association for the Education of Young
Children (NAEYC) considers art essential as a means for "young
children to make their own personal, visual, written statement as a
map of the mental and emotional strides they have already taken and
as proof of their uniquely creative personality. Out of confusion,
young children [through art] establish a degree of visual order, sense
and beauty."
Below are some examples of their work.

January 2006 Art Exhibit - Visions
The paintings in this show are the favorite
visions of the artist, Joan McMurray. She is drawn to the wonderful shapes
of flowers, the great reflections you see on bottles or anything shiny,
and landscapes that catches the eye and imagination.
Joan now sees things differently than before she took
classes from Gretchen Ryan at an American River College adult class. In addition,
she has taken classes at the Mendocino Art Center. She now likes trying different
mediums, including oils, pastels and silk paintings.
Joan is a member of Northern California Artists and
the Sacramento Fine Arts Center in Carmichael and is a member of CPC’s
Friday’s Studio.
Below are examples of Joan’s art. Notice the difference
between the two flowers. The second one is a silk painting.
