SUMMARY:Linda Clark Johnson: Sunshine & Shadows
DESCRIPTION:Linda Clark Johnson: Sunshine & Shadows\nExhibit: May 2 – June 21\, 2026\nLinda Clark Johnson is a Sacramento artist who primarily works with cyanotype\, an early photographic process that uses UV light to create luminous blue images without a camera or negative. Captivated by sunlight and always gathering plants\, she prints in her backyard\, capturing botanical impressions and their shadows on watercolor paper or fabric. She then uses natural toners\, collage\, watercolor\, and colored pencil to add layers of depth and detail to her work. Through her cyanotype prints\, she celebrates experimentation and the wonder of the natural world\, creating art that feels tranquil and atmospheric. \nArtist Talk & Reception: Sunday\, May 17\, 1-2:30 PM (Free)\nJoin artist Linda Clark Johnson as she discusses her artistic process in working with cyanotype\, including her love of sunlight and her ways of gathering and arranging plants. Linda will also show visitors how to get started with cyanotype through an artist demo\, as well as explore her current work in her exhibit\, Sunshine & Shadows. \nThis exhibit is sponsored by Wil & Karen Uecker. \nThe Pence Gallery is open 11:30 AM – 5 PM\, Tuesday through Sunday (closed Monday). \nImage: work by Linda Clark Johnson

SUMMARY:New Paintings by Pat Mahony
DESCRIPTION:The John Natsoulas Gallery is proud to present the newest exhibition of paintings by Sacramento-based artist\, Pat Mahony. The works in her exhibition\, all created within the last year\, are representative of her travels throughout California and to Hawaii. She captures endemic and tropical vegetation in her iconic\, impressionistic style.  \nPat Mahony’s natural environment serves as her greatest source of inspiration. She transforms the beauty of the world\, and the “perfect chaos” that signifies the ever-changing impressions imparted by the way that light can alter a moment. She is known for successfully matching the “wildness of nature with a wild and physical application of paint.” Pat Mahony was born in Southern California\, and studied printmaking and oil painting at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. During the 1980s\, she primarily showed her watercolors\, many of which were architectural scenes. After her early painting successes\, she took some time off to pursue other endeavors. Her desire to return to oil painting coincided with her move to a rural property along the Sacramento River. The resulting landscape paintings that she produced over the successive years were large-scale in format and were a strong representation of that land. Her later works\, painted after she relocated to the region near the American River\, became more focused on individual components within nature\, as she went on long walks along the river. She has achieved minute detail within her painting\, utilizing the scale to emphasize particular elements.  \nIn this exhibition she explores scale across multiple canvases\, creating a diptych and a quadriptych\, allowing for greater immersion and artistic presence. Mahony can best be categorized as a colorist\, with a style derived from the Impressionists and Post-Impressionists\, which is well suited for capturing the fleeting moments that begin and end in such rapid succession in the natural world. Her paintings are a balance between abstraction and representation. Immortalizing the vibrancy of the Sacramento Valley natural environment is key to her work\, and her dazzling painting captures the beauty of the beloved flora and landscape she calls home.  \nThe exhibition’s opening reception is to be held on Saturday\, May 30 from 7:00-9:00 PM. It will feature live music and refreshments. All are well\, and the event is free! \n

SUMMARY:after nature
DESCRIPTION:FIONA K. LAU\nAFTER NATURE\nJune 5–29\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: June 13 at 5–8 p.m. \nAxis Gallery\n625 S St\nSacramento\, CA 95811\nGallery hours: Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday\, 12 – 5pm \nIn after nature\, Fiona K. Lau examines our increasingly mediated relationship with the natural world through a series of paintings and installations that navigate the space between digital fascination and ecological crisis. The exhibition takes its title from Jedediah Purdy’s book\, which explores how nature as a notion of pure\, untouched wilderness no longer exists—if it ever did—and asks how genuine kinship can be forged in an era when human influence has transformed every ecosystem and the internet shapes our environmental consciousness. \nThe works in this exhibition embody this search for connection through their very making. They function as palimpsests\, layering diverse sources—personal records\, Chinese literati painting\, Japanese manga and pop culture\, internet-sourced photographs\, and AI-generated images and texts—into compositions where paint and line\, figure and ground\, shift and slip against one another. Strange reactions emerge between mark-making\, layered imagery\, fluid space and surfaces\, the invisible and the visible\, and emergence and disappearance in dialogue. They mirror our contemporary relationship with nature—mediated\, fragmented\, yet resonant. \nafter nature offers neither solutions nor nostalgia but rather a contemplative space to reconsider how we see\, know\, and care for the more-than-human world in an age of digital saturation and ecological transformation. \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nFiona K. Lau is a Sacramento-based painter whose work explores the relationships of land\, environment\, and belonging. Born in British Hong Kong and raised in Canada\, she had worked in environmental pollution research and international aid across sub-Saharan Africa. Her practice is deeply influenced by experiences of shifting cultures and a background in scientific training\, creating layered works that bridge different realms of experience to reveal tensions and hidden constructs. \nLau’s work has been exhibited in Seattle\, Atlanta\, New York\, Philadelphia\, and internationally in Japan and Canada and is featured in public collections in Kent\, WA\, and Chamblee\, GA. She has completed artist residencies at the Vermont Studio Center\, Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency\, and Verge Center for the Arts in the US; OCAD University in Toronto\, Canada; and AiR Yamanashi in Kofu\, Japan. Lau is the recipient of the 2025 Creative Growth Fellowship awarded by the City of Sacramento’s Office of Arts and Culture and is a member of Axis Gallery in Sacramento. \nfionaklau.com

SUMMARY:IMMORAL UNTIL PROFITABLE
DESCRIPTION:KENNETH JORDAN\nIMMORAL UNTIL PROFITABLE\nJune 5–28\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: June 13\, 5–8 p.m. \nAxis Gallery\n625 S St\nSacramento\, CA 95811\nGallery hours: Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday\, 12–5 p.m. \nAxis Gallery is pleased to present Immoral Until Profitable by Kenneth Jordan \nJazz is one of America’s greatest innovations; born from creativity\, collaboration\, and resilience. Yet like many American art forms created by marginalized communities\, jazz was first condemned before it was celebrated. \nReligious leaders called it immoral.\nCritics called it primitive.\nRespectable society called it dangerous.\nBut the music didn’t disappear. It evolved. It spread.\nAnd once it became profitable\, condemnation gave way to consumption. \nImmoral Until Profitable examines a recurring American pattern: reject\, resist\, rebrand\, monetize. \nThrough portraiture\, text\, and layered materials drawn from newspapers and public rhetoric\, this exhibition highlights both the brilliance of jazz and the cultural forces that once tried to suppress it. What was once feared became profitable. What was once dismissed became foundational. This show uses jazz as a lens to ask a broader question: What are we condemning today that we will eventually consume? \nJoin us at Axis Gallery\, located at 625 S Street in Sacramento’s historic R Street Corridor\, within the Verge Center for the Arts building. The gallery has exhibited innovative contemporary art for over 35 years and continues to serve as a vital space for artists to explore\, connect\, and share work outside the commercial sphere. \nABOUT THE ARTIST \nKenneth Jordan is a California based painter whose practice centers on large-scale works that command attention through bold composition\, layered materials\, and expressive use of color. His work explores the intersection of history and visual storytelling\, examining how cultural ideas evolve over time; how they are shaped\, challenged\, and ultimately redefined. Raised in a deeply creative environment\, Kenneth was influenced early on by a family of artists\, including his great uncle\, renown Disney animator Marc Davis\, whose contributions to classic Disney films helped shape his understanding of art as a powerful narrative force. \nWebsite: https://www.kennethjordanart.com\nInstagram: @k.jordanart

SUMMARY:Adding Stones to Rise A Group Exhibition of Sacramento-Based Artists
DESCRIPTION:Adding Stones to Rise\nA Group Exhibition of Sacramento-Based Artists\nArtist and Curator: Adero Willard \nMay 1 – May 29\, 2026\nSecond Saturday Reception: Saturday\, May 9\, 5–8 PM \nAdding Stones to Rise is a curated group exhibition bringing together Sacramento-based artists working across multiple media\, including painting\, printmaking\, ceramics\, sculpture\, and new media. The title was developed in response to the work and writings of the artists in the exhibition and to the regional presence of rivers that move through and around Sacramento. Water becomes a point of connection—flowing\, sustaining\, eroding\, nurturing\, and reshaping. It can lift\, carry\, overwhelm\, or renew. The flow of a river may also be understood simply as the movement of material through the earth. In this context\, adding stones may suggest burden\, accumulation\, protection\, labor\, or foundation; rising may evoke resistance\, healing\, survival\, visibility\, or change. \nArtists were selected to create a diversity of voice\, perspective\, process\, medium\, and identity\, speaking to the expansiveness of Blackness and representing a collective of varying experiences. Each point is distinct\, yet inseparable from the whole—reflecting how identity\, particularly Blackness\, can be understood as fluid\, relational\, and non-monolithic. \nAdding Stones to Rise centers the work of Black women and nonbinary artists—new to the region\, rooted here\, or returning. Together\, these artists offer a collective meditation on movement\, care\, resistance\, and transformation. This exhibition is one moment in an ongoing story. It is not the first of its kind\, and it will not be the last. \nCuratorial Note: As a curatorial framework\, stones\, water\, and rivers function as metaphors for ideas brought together in this space and may not reflect the specific themes or content of each artist’s work. \nParticipating Artists\nDebra Pitman\, Laurelin Gilmore\, Amari More\, Victoria Kinyanjui\, Khalia Morris\, Tasha Green\, Delgreta Brown\, Alex Lowe\, Sabrina Clark\, Tasha Nicole \nPress Contact\n[Adero Willard] [potterybyadero@gmail.com |
