Threads, Folds & Rabbit Holes by Kristy Deetz
Within these bodies of work, Deetz explores new possibilities between a complex interface of painting, textiles, and digital technology while producing an end product that maintains the richness of slow work wrought by hand. Working in fiber and investigating the historical use of decorative drapery and still life, Deetz examines the contradictory feelings often accompanying loss or nostalgia, and, as a result, her work becomes meditations on life’s transience.

Untethered: An Exploration of Emotion by Pieter Bain
With a keen eye for detail Pieter Bain transforms raw wood into captivating sculptures. Each piece is a dialogue between the artist and the natural world and an exploration of the wood’s inherent character and the vision it inspires. Bain describes his process as both meditative and transformative. He seeks to honor the tree’s journey by breathing new life into its form.

Peaceful Creation: Nature’s Brilliance on Land and Water by Lee Farley
The Lynwood Artists Gallery features intricate drawings on scratchboard by Lee Farley. His work is produced by removing pigment from scratchboard using razor-sharp instruments. He then overlays acrylics and inks applied with airbrush to create surreal effects. His work focuses on relaxing, serene imagery that offers an escape from everyday life.
