Her current education program “Bird Arting” is applying her life-long experi- ence as an innovative artist, performer, and enthusiastic, motivational art teacher to the conservations of wild birds.

September 2016 - Page 2 Remastered Reinterpretations Of World Famous Masterpieces Curated By Doric Jemison-Ball Arts Center Opening Reception Friday, September 9 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Exhibit Remains Thru October 2 Admission is Free REMASTERED From the beginning of time and art, artists have borrowed and stolen from each other’s work, modifying it in their own way to create and inform new work. “All artists borrow, great artists steal,” as Picasso said. In this wildly popular exhibit, artists re-interpret recognized world famous masterpieces to make them their own. A photograph of the original master accompanies each entry. Artists redo another artist’s complete work for various reasons — sometimes to poke fun at the original, sometimes as a joke, sometimes for style. Whatever the reason, when an artist recreates another artist’s work, particularly a masterpiece, it is called REMASTERING.

Capturing hidden details using a skillful mas- tery of lenses, f-stops, and tools of the pho- tographer’s trade, he then uses the latest “digital darkroom” to unlock an emotional re- sponse so the final product can be enjoyed with increased pleasure for many years, ra- ther than having just an initial impact. Recently, Scott has been printing his work in a large format on metallic surfaces where dyes are infused into a specially-coated aluminum surface, resulting in a “frameless” print that appears to float off the wall with outstanding image clarity and vibrancy. Visit Scott’s work at www.schieffophotography.com Sophia Sutherland Sophia Sutherland’s second two-artist Dolphin Gallery Show reveals a fascination of the human body equal to that of her ap- preciation for cats. A distinctive hallmark of Sophia’s work is the series of small monoliths she produces with slabs from which a figure’s head and arms are formed to reach out to connect with others. Her works often depict intertwining lovers, a mother and child, or a small group of individuals joined together. Sophia describes her work as “overtly whimsical and covertly philosophical,” moving between second, third and fourth dimensions where she explores with viewers the final stage of “creativity: the work in the world.” This show features her three-dimensional pieces, which are informed by her use of water colors and pastels to create interesting nudes and figures. Sophia is active in the Artist Collective in Elk and is displayed at the Elk Studio Gallery and at the Hanes Gallery in Boon- eville.

Composed by Ale- ksandra Vrebalov with videography by Andrew Lyndon, the songs were performed by Kronos in the White Barn in May of 2015 to rave reviews. Many requested a recording of the songs and now, thanks to very generous local donors, that call has been answered. A CD/DVD set of the Kronos Quartet singing The Sea Ranch Songs will be released by Canta- loupe Music this fall. The entire coastal community can now celebrate this release at a screening of the DVD at Gualala Arts Center on September 30, 2016, at 7 p.m. in the Cole- man Hall. Come and experience these magnificent songs and evocative film again or for the first time. Composer Aleksandra Vreblov The Kronos Quartet has played at The Gualala Arts Center twice be- fore, once at Art in the Redwoods in 2009 and again for a concert in 2012. A portion of proceeds from DVD sales will benefit Gualala Arts Center. Composer Aleksandra Vrebalov and videographer Andrew Lyndon will be on hand for the screen- ing and for a discussion afterwards. In writing about “The Sea Ranch Songs,” composer Vrebalov and David Harrington, founder of the Kronos Quartet, said “We celebrate the nature, people and architecture of this magical place by creating a piece with original music, documented sounds, and visual samples of differ- ent aspects of life and creativity in this rare landscape where people and nature are inter- Videographer Andrew Lyndon twined in a healthy union. This idea on a global scale may be utopian, but through music we will praise its beauty and affirm its urgent relevance in our wounded world so much in need of healing.” Admission is free, but please make a reservation at BrownPaperTickets.com or 800.838.3006.
