Quarry Cove Art Gallery: "Moment, Reflection, and Memory" Exhibit

Five local artists have showcased 35 pieces of their art work: Anita Green with oil paintings; Denise Buckley Crawford, Jay Crawford, and Edwin Hacking with photographs; and Cindy Chan with clay sculptures.

In her impressionistic-abstract oil paintings, Anita Green uses memories and unearthed feelings from past experiences as focal points. The abstract nature of her work in oils, often mistaken for watercolors, invites the viewer to reflect and respond to the color and movement of brush and emotion.

Photographers Denise Buckley Crawford and Jay Crawford feature nine photographs that honor the magnificence of the Pacific coast.

A world traveler, Edwin Hacking seeks the decisive moment to photograph beauty in city life, nature, and people. One of his stand-out photos among the ten on exhibit is “Inside Out” which is a thought-provoking collage of San Francisco from multiple perspectives created by window reflections.

Cindy Chan’s clay sculptures evoke a range of emotions reflecting whimsical playfulness to profound gratitude. While her flying animals send one on a romp back to childhood fantasies, the bust, “Gentle Spark” embodies a contemplative happiness. By popular request, Cindy has also made several different bird themed pieces, some illuminated by LED. Be they playful or peaceful, serene or soulful, her forms have a captivating presence.

Don’t miss the artists’ closing reception for the exhibit “Moment, Reflection, and Memory” on Sunday, Sept. 20 from 2-4 pm.

The Quarry Cove Art Gallery is located at 225 Rockaway Beach Avenue, next to Avani Salon. Please join us this Sunday, light refreshment will be served.
