Suzy K's Quintessential Collage   September Featured Artist  Suzy Kueckelhan ’s methodology in making her collages is the quintessential “Art is a process, not a product.” She doesn’t plan ahead, just grabs some paper from her big stash and, as she said, “goes with the flow.” For her, that means following her feelings to compose and design whatever feels right in the moment, rather than creating something for someone else. The results are works in paper and paint that are grounded,

Travis Johnson "To Be A Witness" (Show runs through September 26, 2021) "To Be A Witness" Travis Johnson Opening Thursday, September 2, 2021. 6-9pm (Show runs through 9/26/21) Travis Johnson is back with new work! You may remember him from a smaller show we had back in December that was mostly just visible from the window. We've expanded into the full gallery now and he is going to be showing his paintings in addition to some new repurposed, found object sculptures. About this series: He says. " 'To Be A Witness '  is a collection of works that serve as a visual reclamation of my personal history in southern California. These pieces are fragmented memories and stories from my past. These stories have morphed into myth and have become a part of my ethos as Black body in America. ' To Be A Witness'  is to imagine a world where Black bodies have an ontological resistance against a predatory culture.
