Pt Richmond Art Gallery Reception in September
Join us on Friday, September 17- Women Behind the Camera
Guest curator, San Francisco artist Scot Velardo brings the photography of three artists:
Jacqui Galle: Jacqui’s current project involves shooting taxidermy as décor in home interiors across the country. She finds great satisfaction in examining how a room defines an individual, and in the taxidermy project endeavors to bring about a sense of surprise, surrealism and beauty. www.jacquigalle.com
Sheila Menezes: Life in the San Francisco Mission District, living above an ice cream store and kitty-corner to the “baddest bar in the city”, continues to inspire her street-photography heartbeat. The urban landscapes displayed represent her travels around the States…Westside to Eastside: Las Vegas, Seattle and New York. www.sheilamenezes.com
Jen Siska: There is not an hour that goes by in her day when she is not seeing something she is inspired by and has to photograph. At times it can be the most ordinary things where she finds beauty: light, people, food, nature, laughter, the sky, telephone wires, buildings, the list is endless. This show is a collage of snapshots that give insight into a day in her life. www.jensiska.com
We’ve planned some interesting music. Come be delightfully surprised. 7 p.m.-1 a.m.
