• Elisabeth Setten:
  
  Ancient cultures regarded trees as spiritual beings able to elevate the human consciousness to a higher plane and deepen one’s awareness of the inner self.
  
  As an artist from West Marin, I find myself pondering this question: Who am I as a human being in nature and what is my role within it?
  
  In a spontaneous collaboration (see video), I attach a sumi inked brush to a tree’s branch and allow the tree’s painting to unfold. The resulting abstractions produce a unique natural vocabulary that invites us to explore the intricacies of the natural world and reconsider our selves within it.

• Lark Calderon-Gomez:
  
  Married to photographer, Dan Gomez, mixed media artist, Lark Calderon-Gomez has always had a strong affection for photography. It was only natural to embark on a series of collaborative work together.

•  Stan Gibbs:
  
  Stas will feature abstract sketches in paint.more
