Perceptions of the Natural and Imagined by Nadia Lusian

August 5 – November 21, 2022

Newhall Community Center
22421 Market St, Newhall, CA 91321

Although I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, I grew up in Maryland and New Jersey, where I received a B.A. with honors in Art/Art History from Upsala. I came to Los Angeles, explored a bit, then settled in and obtained a certificate in Graphic Art. This led to my career as a graphic artist and designer with Remo, Inc., where I created artwork for world percussion, textiles and large displays. I have since returned to my first inclination: brush painting with acrylics. I have done some teaching at Bella Vida, and recently joined the Santa Clarita Artists Association. To be a successful artist in our contemporary times is a daunting challenge. My most personally fulfilling works are those that synthesize what I see with a subliminal valence to instinctual expression. I endeavor to learn to trust in the spontaneity of inspiration, temper it with a refinement of technique, then stand back and perceive it come together to a place of pleasure, peace, or emotional voice. I appreciate the opportunity to share my work and hope some of it speaks to you.

A Quiet Place in a Noisy World by Youth Artist Matthew Santos

July 28 – December 21, 2022

Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy Library BRANCH
18601 Soledad Canyon Rd, Santa Clarita, CA 91351

Bio: I am 14 years old and I love art. I think art is important because if there was no art, the world would be bland. Instead, it adds color and brings out life in the world. I have Autism and art can help me share what I am thinking about without using words. When there are a lot of things going on, painting and doing art helps calm me down. Everything else in the world disappears and I can just focus on my art. My favorite medium is acrylic because I like the texture of it and how it blends on the canvas. I like painting mountains and nature scenes because it makes me feel peaceful inside.  When I get older, I want to go to an Art college (like CalArts) and when I grow up, I want to become a professional artist and sell my paintings.

Texture

July 8 – September 16th, 2022

First Floor Gallery at City Hall
23920 Valencia Blvd #120, Valencia, CA 91355

This group show brings a wild variety of texture to the walls of First Floor Gallery. All works are made from fibers and textiles, including woven portraits, abstract inspired nature hangings, and threaded images. The idea behind this show is to bring a new and unique setting to City Hall by inviting the viewer to get lost in the process of creation for each piece. While unconventional, textiles and fibers are fascinating mediums for creatively rendering into art or a story. There is a wide variety of talent seen through this show, check it out and find your favorite!

Reception: Friday, July 15, 2022 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at First Floor Gallery
