"Where the Wild Things Live"
Sharon Barker's photographs skillfully capture her wildlife subjects in
all their natural glory. Her impeccable compositions allow us to get
a full sense of the world in which each bird or animal thrives. Through
her camera's lens, we're treated to the beautifully intricate detail in a
bird's wing, or the brilliant splashes of color that mark the plumage of
a proud pheasant rooster. All of her images are made in natural light
and minimal editing. This exhibit immerses us into the vibrant waterfowl
habitat that Sharon's artistic awareness captures so well.
Artists Reception: Friday, February 3rd, from 3 to 7 p.m.

"Northstate Habitat Haven"
Friday evening, March 3rd, at 7 p.m.
One of the best habitat spaces set aside for wildlife is the Sacramento
National Wildlife Refuge, located in Glenn county, just 5 miles from
Sharon Barker's home in Willows, California. It's a dream situation
for this gifted photographer, who has taken full advantage of it. With
visual images and words well informed by years of studying its seasonal
shifts and variety of animal life and waterfowl, Sharon takes us there.
This evening's presentation promises a colorful visit to an ecological
gem that thrives right here in our beautiful northstate. Join us!
"Figure Drawing Sessions with Rae Turnbull"
On the second and third Saturday each month, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., Fine Artist Rae Turnbull will provide individualized instruction tailored to each artist’s level of expertise. While the model poses, Rae's suggestions and demonstrations will help artists add to their ability to observe and draw from the model. This is an opportunity to practice drawing the clothed figure with guidance from a seasoned professional known for her artistry in drawing the human figure.
Bring your own art supplies, including drawing boards. Art supplies should be limited to graphite pencils, ballpoint pens, pastel pencils, Prismacolor pencils, charcoal pencils or color markers. In order to preserve the beauty of the Gallery flooring, do not bring watercolor, oil paints or beverages other than water.
No signups required. Rae donates her services, so the only fee required is $5 per session, in order to cover the model fee.
