As the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer the season calls for reflection. These quiet and intimate pictures are mostly based on free sketches, and Lacey admits, a tube of Prussian blue with a big hole in it that needed to be used quickly!
This collection of small oil paintings is beautifully framed in vintage frames. For collector preview, contact Sandra Mastroianni at sandra@cactusgalleryla.com.
BIRDBRAINS
Group show featuring wood burning artist Samantha Mullen
Opening reception: Saturday, January 11, 2020

BIRDBRAINS will be a celebration of avian creatures and their role in our planet’s ecosystems as well as an unsubtle plea for humans to stop being poop-heads and start listening to the silence left in the wake of declining bird populations.

LANDSCAPES
Group show featuring Janet Olenik
Opening reception: Saturday, March 14, 2020
Location: TBA
Traditionally, a landscape involves a reverence for land. A landscape becomes a tiny moment in time. This sounds very simple at first. But, then the options for the artist come into play. A scenic vista, a picnic, a sunset, a sunrise....infinite possibilities. And do you produce an image or physically rearrange the land itself or both? The land we love quickly changes. It's important to preserve tiny moments in time. It's important to slow down and observe them.
