Sotto Voce

July 16, 2019 through August 9, 2019

The MAIN
24266 Main Street, Newhall, CA 91321

Reception: Thursday, July 18, 2019 | 7 – 10 pm

Nicole Fournier’s passion for photography was first revealed in a fourth grade class trip to Washington D.C., when she slipped away to photograph a spiral staircase. This fascination became a path followed, leading to obtain a BFA graduating cum laude, to a professional career in fine arts and photography. Nicole’s art is a combination of photography and encaustic. She transfers images she’s photographed directly into an encaustic (wax) medium, and embellishes them with colored wax mediums she makes from oil-based or powder pigments.

Encaustic painting is one of the oldest forms of art known to man. Samples can be seen as far back as the Egyptian Fayum Mummy portraits which are over 2,500 years old. Encaustic paintings are resistant to moisture, acid, and mold, and thus contain excellent archival properties. Nicole enjoys the wide range of possibilities inherent in this technique – the evocative and distressed tones, and especially the additive and subtractive qualities that come along with the process. Through her art, she continues to express concepts of growth and awareness, and to promote the preservation of our external environment, as well as the cultivation of our inner.

Nicole Fournier is located at the Brewery Arts Complex in Los Angeles. She has been participating in their biannual open studio events since 2007, and she also teaches encaustic workshops held there from her studio.

We are bombarded daily with visual stimulus from all directions with the media, advertising, and internet, all attempting to persuade, lure and direct us.

This piece is a plea for critical analysis and deep consideration of what ideas move us to action and what forces influence our beliefs and desires.

Nourishing the Earth

Newhall Community Center
22421 Market Street
Newhall, CA 91321

Climate change is intimidating. The impacts of it have certainly already been felt all over the world; record high temperatures, shifting seasons, and more frequent natural disasters to name a few. Some of these changes are irreversible, but that doesn’t mean further destruction can’t be prevented. As children, who are going to be the adults with no choice but to address climate change, we’d like to give ourselves the most opportunities possible to overcome it. But we can’t do it alone. Change begins on an individual level; however, it can effect not just yourselves, but entire communities and future generations.

The primary intention with this exhibit is to remind people that within each of us is someone with the potential to create change, and demand for your potential is greater now than ever.

Michele Boyer: A Retrospective

February 22, 2019 through June 21, 2019

Town Center Art Space, Westfield Valencia Town Center
24201 Valencia Blvd., Santa Clarita, CA 91355

Reception: Saturday, March 23, 2019 | 6 – 8 pm

“Artists create art because they must. I create what I must at that moment in time. My styles and materials vary out of a need to express my thoughts, feelings and techniques. Ideas put into tactile materials give me a sense of satisfaction and a desire to create new and different works. Art unquestionably comes from the inner spirit.”

Michele spent years working with Italian master sculptors in Pietrasanta, the sculpture center of Italy. Today she sculpts in her own studios in California and Italy, clay modeling and carving marble in small and large scale formats.

About the Artist
Michele Boyer is a Los Angeles based sculptor. Michele spent three months a year for 23 years sculpting in Pietrasanta, the sculpture center of Italy, where she rented space in marble-carving studios, bringing her own sculpture tools and buying the marble of her choice. The time she spent there infused a Mediterranean sensibility to the work. Themes in her work traverse subjects like the family nucleus to aspects of intellectual pursuits.  The abstract in nature is presented throughout her collection. Collectors of her work include: Penny Marshall producer, actress, director; Zza Zza Gabor actress; Stanley Black businessman, philanthropist, collector; the Jewish Home for the Aging and many others.

Michele works in many styles, contemporary abstracts, busts, figures, stylized figurative, and in diversified mediums, clay, bronze, alabaster, and marble. She also worked in foundries casting bronze from clay models, using the ancient lost wax method. The rest of the year she continued these practices in her own studio in Los Angeles, modeling clay and carving marble in small and large-scale formats.

Michele was born and educated in New York, where she studied costume design and the theater arts.  Her professional dance career continued while being married and raising her three children. Her transition into sculpture became as obsessive as her dance. She has studied sculpting at Every Woman’s Village, Northridge College, Barnsdale Art School, and Scottsdale Artist School.
