The Moraga Art Gallery greets Spring with a new exhibit, “From the Earth: Pottery and Blooms,” from March 18th to May 31st featuring the creativity of two of the gallery’s favorites: Mary Leigh Miller, raku pottery and Lucy Beck, photographer.
The Gallery will also be featuring the work of 37 artists from the Lamorinda Arts Alliance (LAA).
A reception will be held on Saturday, March 28 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm. The public is invited to view the art, chat with the artists, enjoy wine, light snacks, and music by Michael Granat.
Pottery specialist Mary Leigh Miller, who, among other talents, creates stunning Raku vases and jars, treasured for their distinctive appearance, textures and hues.
Lucy Beck is a nature photographer who focuses on the enticing world of flowers. In her work, she sees reflections of human emotions – caring, joy, sadness, openness, and love – in the way flowers exist individually and in relationship with one another. Through her carefully composed images, she invites viewers to notice these subtle connections. Her photographs encourage us to slow down and not only smell the flowers, but truly see them. For Lucy, photography is a beautiful collaboration between the flower or botanical, the camera, and the vision she brings to the moment.
Also featured are the art works of 37 Lamorinda Arts Alliance members.
The exhibit also presents striking creations by a score of gallery members and guest artists, including painters, ceramicists, printmakers, wood-workers, jewelry-makers, and photographers.
