2016's first show at Moraga Art Gallery

Invitation to stunning new show at the Moraga Art Gallery

The Moraga Art Gallery kicks off the new year with an exhibit of eye-catching landscapes by photographer Wenda Pyman, whose work calls to mind such masters as Ansel Adams and Eliot Porter. The show’s centerpiece, a standout image of sunrise in the Florida Keys, captures the timelessness of tide pools and ancient coral beds.

The featured guest artist, Joan Ragno, formerly a clothing designer for Nordstrom’s, has mounted a colorful collection of garments in silk, wool, linen, and neoprene, some embellished with felt and tucking.

The show, which includes paintings, ceramics, jewelry, and more by the gallery’s fifteen member artists and several guest artists, runs from January 13th to March 19th. The public is invited to an opening reception on Saturday, January 16th from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Use the occasion to meet the artists, enjoy a glass of wine accompanied by light snacks and live music. The gallery is located in the Rheem Shopping Center, at 522 Center Street, Moraga. Its hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 12 noon to 5:00 p.m. For more information, visit www.moragaartgallery.com or call 925-376-5407.
