SUMMARY:Andrea Brewster\, Tara Esperanza\, Elizabeth Sher: Succulents\, Spirals\, Blooms
DESCRIPTION:Left to right: Tara Esperanza\, “Tenderness”\, 2024 acrylic on canvas\, 35” x 24”\, Elizabeth Sher\, “Layered Spiral #e (pink)”\, 2026\, oil\, acrylic and ink on Yupo\, 16” x 14”\, Andrea Brewster\, “Resemblance #2-Peony”\, 2026\, Digital print on aluminum\, 16” x 20”\, Photo courtesy of the artist. \nAndrea Brewster’s work transforms flowers into speculative\, non-biological forms that resemble flora yet are entirely constructed—part specimen\, part apparition. Printed on reflective aluminum\, images shift with light\, offering a quiet\, contemplative experience shaped by the distance between nature and its digital afterimage. \nTara Esperanza’s paintings reflect the quiet resilience of succulents as they adapt\, thrive\, and live in harmony. Rooted in community\, these forms support one another\, flourishing together as a collective force of nature. \nElizabeth Sher’s focus has turned to spirals\, first in rope\, then in wire\, and now in painted and drawn marks. This ongoing series “Spiraling Out of Control” visualizes a shared emotional landscape: the disorientation and instability many of us feel in these uncertain times. Yet within the spiral\, Sher finds a pulse of hope\, a reminder of cycles\, of return\, renewal\, and resilience. \nGallery Hours: Friday and Saturday\, 12 – 5 pm (and by appointment)\nArtists’ Reception: Saturday\, May 16\, 3 – 5 pm\nOakland Art Murmur / First Friday: Friday\, June 5\, 5 – 9 pm
