Gallery Route One has been an iconic treasure of the Point Reyes Station community for 40 years. I am honored to have a solo exhibit at this collective gallery. My solo exhibit, Distant Voices, showcases nine of my calligraphic paintings which evocatively capture asemic and gestural mark-making, hinting at voices distant enough that they are not words, but a language of movement, urgency, and hope.

Other solo exhibits at the same time: Renée Owen: Adrift: A Landscape of Loss, Will Thoms: 21 9x9s, and Visiting Artist Fedra Yazdi: The Weight of What Was: Missing Homeland Series.

Public Show Events with all four artists:
Saturday, September 20, 3–5 pm: Opening Reception & Artist Talks

Public Show Events with Renée Owen and Sherrie Lovler:
Saturday, October 4, 3–5 pm: Artist Talk & Narrated Walk Through (sponsored by Pacific Rim Sculptors)

Sunday, October 26, 3–4:30 pm: Poetry & Music Performance and Closing

Inspiration

My new book, Distant Voices, is a companion to the show. It has nine poems that pair with the paintings, as well as images that show my daily art practices. From the back cover: “Distant Voices is a magical book. I love it. It is art en face with poetry. They can stand alone or be appreciated as a single piece. The art is fluid and works well with its poem. The poems are gentle and informative. I enjoy living with each one for a while before moving on to the next pair. The poet’s tenderness is special and the artist’s work is equally special. What a gift.”
