Contained: The Art of Stillness

The Artery 207 G Street, Davis

THE ARTERY. With a spiritual leaning that bridges Eastern and Western philosophy, each piece in this exhibition contains heart and soul. Art reflects life…a return to decades long practices of meditation, silence and contemplation are reflected in this collection. Between 3D sculptures and framed pieces, it is Louise’s desire that the viewer remember a bit of peace and stillness as they stop into the gallery in the new year.
