Re-Awakenings — Mandalas, Paintings & Pottery
Featuring mandalas by Carol Whitman, paintings by Max Lesser, and pottery by Laurie Curtis
Toby’s Gallery, Point Reyes Station, CA — Artists Max Lesser, Laurie Curtis, and Carol Whitman are showing their art at Toby's Gallery in Point Reyes Station from April 2–28. Their work includes Carol’s botanical mandala photographs, Max's oil and watercolor paintings, and Laurie's maiolica pottery.
Over the past year of COVID distancing and lockdowns, as we all kept our distance from each other and re-centered our lives to home, many of these artists re-centered their lives to home, turning inward to expressing their creativity. These pieces attest to the power of art to bring hope and joy, and get us through in difficult times.
Now the world is gradually re-awakening to life in a post-vaccination world, and the artists want to share what they've created. Due to ongoing COVID restrictions that limit crowd size, there won’t be an opening gala. However, Toby's spacious gallery is open Monday–Saturday from 9am–5pm, and Sunday from 10am–5pm. All the art will be for sale. In addition, there will be materials for visitors to make their own mandalas to photograph and preserve its ephemeral nature.
Toby’s Gallery is located at 11250 Highway One, Point Reyes Station, California.
