May - June Exhibit: Spring into Creativity
In the 9th year of the Carmichael Presbyterian Church Art Gallery, nine artists are featured in our spring exhibit. Mary Kay Exstrom was the first artist to display her paintings at the CPC Gallery. She still enjoys painting and has two paintings in our current show.
Dena Pro, Trisha St. Clair, Joan McMurray, Ann Kerr, and Sally Stephenson have all had individual shows during the past nine years. We welcome Caddy Brown, John Davidson, and Mary Kroger to our gallery. Caddy Brown is now in her 90's and has been an artist for many years. John Davidson is learning to paint with oils after using pastels for his artwork previously. Mary Kroger shows her work in other galleries in Sacramento.
All of our artists have been inspired by the wonderful light and colors of spring. They have used oils, acrylics, watercolors, and pastels to create landscapes, still life and scenes from nature to celebrate spring.

March - April Exhibit: Memories
This spring show in the Gathering Place Gallery will be a display of photography, “Photographic Memories”, by two different generations of related men. Dave Mauerman is the present day photographer sharing pictures he has photographed over the last 40 years. John S. Schneider, his great-grandfather, a professional photographer known as “the photographer of Presidents,” is represented by pictures he took early in the twentieth century.
This is a unique show for those who are interested in the evolution of cameras over the century.“Photographic Memories” will open on Sunday, March 7, and continue during the months of March and April. The artist’s reception will be Saturday, March 13, 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.
Below are examples of Mr. Mauerman's work.
January -February Exhibit
Considering Children's ArtFor the child, making art is the actual process of formulating, organizing, and understanding experience - of making something of it. Art can give form and meaning to the puzzling, scary, interesting, funny, familiar, and unfamiliar things the child encounters in school, at home, on the street, on television, in books, in play. Given materials and opportunity, children will represent whatever is on their minds. For children the process is educational in the deepest sense. It allows them to explore, - sort out - events and feelings they experience in daily life.
For the adult viewer the product reflects the child - his or her knowledge, interests. Concerns, and ways of going about dealing with a complex world. Children's creative work is one of the most valuable and deeply interesting sources of insight into children's minds.
