ABSTRACTION by Cheryl Ehlers, Dec 5 - Jan 14, 2016, E101 Gallery, Encinitas, CA

ABSTRACTION with  Cheryl Ehlers, "paint what the eyes do not see". 

December 5 thru January 14, 2016, E101 Gallery, 8185 Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas, CA

The Abstraction exhibit is a flow of feeling, thoughts and imagination.  Bright in colors and free flowing shapes, it brings your mind to ponder what was on the artists mind at the very moment of creation? Thoughts become pictures in the mind.  You can feel them.  Placing a brush to a canvas allows the thoughts and colors to flow and is the ultimate experience in painting. 

"Creativity is not duplicating what your eyes see, it is the road that takes you onto many unknown paths. The end result is artistic expression and reveals the personality of an artist at that moment in time. I always want to be evolving in my art techniques", states Ehlers

Ehlers is an accomplished and published artist. Her exhibition portfolio includes venues domestically from San Diego to New York City, as well as internationally including, France, Italy, Germany and New Zealand. This exhibition will showcase Ehlers’ works in mixed mediums and brings color to the surface.

She is the current City of Encinitas, Arts program assistant, managing 3 galleries, and the founder and owner of The Stardust Arts, a youth art program that provides the development of creativity and imagination to those that have the desire and drive to experience art and obtain the academic enrichment it provide to the children in schools today. Teaching over 12,600 students, in school programs since 2009, The Stardust Arts is supported by community donations, grants and sponsorship's and is recognized by the California State Assembly for its contributions to art in local communities and the San Diego Board of Supervisors.

Thank you to the San Dieguito Art Guild for sponsoring The Stardust Arts upcoming exhibition on December 5th at the Encinitas Civic Center Gallery.  Stop by and view the student art.

E101 Gallery Artist, Steve Webb - Sept 11th - Oct 23rd

E101 Gallery, Encinitas presents:

Steve Webb - "Adventures and mis-adventures of the common dog."

Exhibit dates: September 11 – October 23, 2015

Through strong brush strokes and vivid color, the artworks portray whimsical still life, abstract, animal and landscape paintings.

"The need to make pictures started as a child with drawing. At the University it went to more advanced expression with more advanced materials, but always with drawing as the core. At first the focus seemed to be the figure and different versions of landscape. Today it's just draw and paint and see where it goes."

The series "art for the common dog"  emerged as a counter to our daily lives, chronicling the adventures and misadventures of our "best friends". It has become a preoccupation with the overall goal being to just lighten it up a bit and introduce a bit of levity into what is often a stressful experience (life).  "I hope you see it the same way."

E101 Gallery - Encinitas, 2016 CALL FOR ARTISTS

E101 Gallery presents Cathy Carey, “California Color,” February 27th

E101 Gallery presents Cathy Carey, “California Color,” February 27^th to April 10^th.  An opening reception will be held on March 5th, 5-8pm at 818 S. Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas, CA and will coincide with the First Thursdays evening event sponsored by the E101 Mainstreet.

Born in Washington, DC. and educated at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington DC, Cathy received a BFA in Painting and Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. Her paintings have been exhibited in galleries in Virginia and California, and are in many private collections and have won numerous awards. Her teaching career includes being an instructor of Color Theory at The Art Institute of California in San Diego, workshops in Santa Fe, NM, Pasadena, CA, at the Golden Door, Escondido, CA and at her studio in Escondido, CA .

Cathy Carey has a unique approach to painting. “I have the ability to create the world my mind is going to live in as I paint, and I am determined to express the way I feel.  I spend most of my time painting or thinking about painting, and it is within the realm between joy and grateful where I choose to dwell.”  These are the things she thinks about when painting.  

Her personal philosophy of color is to express emotional meaning through color and believes this is the purpose of art, to express the story of being alive at a particular time. Art is the physical manifestation of the emotional and spiritual nature of an artist's response to the world around them, and the world within them.
