You were once wild here. Don’t let them tame you.
~Isadora Duncan
We all have a wild side, whether we stride boldly there or keep it under the radar. Women, traditionally, have been taught to keep their “wildness” under wraps – raucous, adventurous, risk-taking, bold & brave, sometimes licentious, or living outside traditional moral codes. For THE WILD SIDE, California women artists evoke drama, awe, and strong emotions with works that excite visually… and celebrate the untamed!

We experience water in its absence, its fury, and spiritual significance – from crashing waves and rushing rapids to gurgling flows and gentle splashes. 63 West Coast artists have taken a dive into the deep for Shimmer with works in a wide range of media that inform, inspire, and refresh.

COMPOSING THE FUTURE
A NCWCA Member Exhibition
The Bankhead Theater, Livermore CA
Exhibition Director: Elizabeth Addison, NCWCA Exhibitions Chair
Jurors: Elizabeth Addison, Anne Giancola, Marianne McGrath
For Composing the Future, I invited NCWCA members to address current crises and coming societal shifts in a visionary way. I was curious how my NCWCA artist colleagues would respond with artwork. It was exciting to see that most entries were newly created and inspired by this theme. As a whole, the artwork of Composing the Future reacts to the catastrophes of 2020 by confronting history, provoking change, challenging predictions, and calling out priorities for the near and far future. I was honored to present the potent artwork of NCWCA’s Membership in Composing the Future. View the entire exhibit here.
