Horses are alert and sophisticated beings..they can be perceived as scary or unpredictable, but they are honest. In my eyes they are the emotional representation of endurance.” — Isabella Stoakes

LOS ANGLES, CA, UNITED STATES — “Fields of Presence, Between the Heart and the Moon” Christine Forest’s abstract paintings “explore spaces without edges,” serving as meditations on memory, movement, and quiet gravity. Her artwork invites viewers to engage with “inner” landscapes that are both intimate and expansive, encouraging a contemplative experience that transcends conventional boundaries.

“Heels Down” Isabella Stoakes paints horses using classic sign color combinations, working in oil on wood. Reflecting on her choice of subject, Stoakes says, “Horses are alert and sophisticated beings..they can be perceived as scary or unpredictable, but they are honest. In my eyes they are the emotional representation of endurance.”

SFVACC presents Chroma, Color and Contrast, a group show juried by curator, critic, and artist David S. Rubin. This dynamic collection examines the expressive force of color in all its forms “from the saturated and electric to the subtle and restrained. This exhibition looks at the interplay between hues, values, and intensities, and how contrast can spark emotion, define space, or disrupt expectation.” 

The 4th Annual Shelley Lazarus Excellence in Watercolor Exhibition returns to TAG, celebrating the expressive range and enduring relevance of watercolor. The exhibition showcases works by artists from across the United States, highlighting a broad spectrum of styles and themes within this medium.
