About Linda Ellinwood:
Ellinwood’s sculptures are created completely from found natural materials. Each one is unexpected, yet simple and evocative. It is evident that she has been working with these materials for many years, developing a vocabulary ,building up a library of materials, landscapes from which to cull; a lifetime of looking, noticing and delighting in natural forms. Ellinwood’s creations are elegant in their simplicity yet manage to elicit an emotional response: delight, humor, contemplation, disinterest. She has exhibited nationally, her work is included incollections throughout the United States. She lives and works in Oakland.
About Joy Every:
Joy Every presents a series of photography-based mixed media works that emerge from direct observation of the natural world. Beginning with photographic impressions of landscape, light, and atmosphere, her process unfolds through intuitive layering, abstraction, and mark making. These works do not document place, but instead trace what lingers in the space between representation and memory, where landscapes become internalized and reimagined. Through subtle shifts in color, texture, and light ,the work evokes horizons, skies, and terrain that feel at once recognizable and elusive—shaped as much by feeling as by geography.
“Joy Every’s latest mixed media works on paper continue her exploration of the natural world through an intimate, tactile lens. Embroidery introduces a measured, meditative pace, where each stitch becomes an act of reverence. The works feel simultaneously fragile and immersive, inviting a closer exploration.”-Lori Austin,Owner/Curator of Lori Austin Gallery, Healdsburg, CA
Joy Every has exhibited nationally, and internationally. Her work is included in public and private collections across the United States. including the Security and Exchange Commission and Embassy of Peru. She lives and works in Oakland ,California.
