I’ve been curating satellite exhibits for the Frank Bette Center for the Arts<\/a> at Gallagher & Lindsey–an Estuary Art Attack<\/a>\u00a0venue–since August of last year. Each month I bring down one artist’s work, and another artist’s work goes up. When I’ve got a completely new show together we have a reception for the artists. Friday, May 14th, in conjunction with Estuary Art Attack, Gallagher & Lindsey will host a reception for the four artists currently exhibiting there. The current exhibit features the photography of Mi’Chelle Fredrick, Mary K. Shisler’s\u00a0botanicals, prints by Kathe Welch, and Linda Lawson’s\u00a0mixed media.<\/p>\n

“Phantom Landscape” by Mi’Chelle Fredrick<\/p><\/div>\n

Mi’Chelle Fredrick usually identifies herself as a watercolor portrait artist, but I had fond memories of her work from the first Alameda on Camera exhibit and asked her if she’d mind exhibiting her photos instead. I’m so glad she agreed. She’s exhibiting a dozen pieces in two series. One series is a set of fanciful urban landscapes. This includes her “Phantom Landscape,” which I believe was taken in Baja, one of the locations American Photo <\/em>named as among the twenty-five\u00a0best places in the world to shoot. This surreal image was exactly what the camera saw–no Photoshop involved–and I absolutely love it. Please buy this piece or I’m going to have to get it for myself. Not kidding. Help me.<\/p>\n

Her other series are mirror images, where several copies of the same photo are combined to repeat patterns or create entirely new ones.\u00a0Come get a\u00a0good look at her “Experiments in Cloning 4” and tell me you don’t see a monstrous killer rabbit.<\/p>\n

“Apricot Tulips” by Mary K. Shisler<\/p><\/div>\n

I hate to give away the secret of what you are looking at when you admire\u00a0Mary\u00a0K.\u00a0Shisler’s oil paintings. In fact, they are not oil paintings at all. She creates her luscious botanicals via cameraless photography, scanning flowers, shells, and ribbons at very high resolution, printing them herself on canvas, then stretching and framing the work. These works are\u00a0also available unframed on canvas, or printed on paper.<\/p>\n

“Lady” by Kathy Welch<\/p><\/div>\n

Kathe Welch is busy, busy, busy. She’s exhibiting\u00a0seven pieces at Gallagher & Lindsey–linoleum block prints, wood cuts, and a collagraph (google it)–but she\u00a0can’t make it to the reception because she’s\u00a0in another show the same night, poor thing! \ud83d\ude09 After stopping by Gallagher & Lindsey and purchasing one of her prints, why not visit her\u00a0at Chuck DiGuida’s Bridgehead Studios where she’s doing live drawing? Chuck keeps it open late.<\/p>\n

“Flyspeck Pool Hall” by Linda Lawson<\/p><\/div>\n

Linda Lawson is exhibiting half a dozen of her mixed media pieces in the front window at Gallagher & Lindsey. This\u00a0includes “Kiss G’night Hug” which won a Best of Show at the Frank Bette in February of this year. Lawson has been creating these collages and dioramas–which she calls\u00a0“out-of-the-frameworks”–for nearly a decade, tracing their development to “a lifetime of picking up interesting bits of nature, a childhood immersed in mythology, attraction to Latin American art and a long-time hobby of drying and arranging flowers, sparked by the life-wrenching events of 9\/11\/01 witnessed from 11th St & B’way, NYC,\u00a0and the impromptu shrines that sprang up immediately after.”<\/p>\n

The reception on May 14th is from 6-9 PM at Gallagher & Lindsey, 2424 Central Avenue in Alameda. Mi’Chelle Fredrick will be giving a demonstration of her mirror image technique for approximately one hour, beginning at 7 PM.<\/p>\n
