Wenda Pyman's latest exhibit of beguiling landscape photographs entitled "A Sense of Place" kicks off the new year at the Moraga Art Gallery. Calling to mind the camera work of Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter, Pyman captures the luminous and timeless splendor of places like Mt. Diablo, Morro Bay, San Francisco's Baker Beach, and the Florida Keys.
Featured as a guest artist, Suzanne Pershing, who heads the Arts Council of San Leandro and also teaches drawing and painting, has created a colorful collection of unique teacups and saucers, some with stylized ceramic florals sprouting from their rims, many decorated with abstract shapes and lines reminiscent of Miro and Picasso.
The show, which includes paintings, ceramics, jewelry, fused glass, and much more by the gallery's 14 member-artists and several guest artists, runs from Jan. 9 to March 16. The public is invited to a free opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12. Use the occasion to meet the artists, enjoy a glass of wine accompanied by light snacks and live music. The gallery is located in the Rheem Shopping Center, at 522 Center Street, Moraga. Its hours are Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.moragaartgallery.com or call (925) 376-5407.
