Lynn Creighton is a Ventura sculptor creating bronze female figures of women experiencing the full vibratory rate of their inner core. They are metaphors for women awakening to the gift of their own energy and what it is meant to do. These figures represent women learning to celebrate their own lives from a deep inner connection to the creator profoundly sensed as the creator creates through them.

Creighton’s female figures are abstractions, or, more precisely and meaningfully, essentialities. In strictly art historical terms they are related to the pioneering visions of Henry Moore, Jean Arp, or Constantin Brancusi. Her sculptures can be seen at her new sculpture garden located at 39 E. Harrison. No need to make an appointment they can be admired at any time.

To July 30 from 6-9 p.m.

This exhibition presents the work of four regional abstract artists. Each artist uses a visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.

Exhibiting Artists:,Scott Gordon,Elana Kundell,Mary Neville,Linda Saccoccio

Show runs until September 28. Artist Reception: Saturday, July 15, 6-8 pm
Hours open for viewing: Monday – Friday 8:30 am-4 pm

“The inspiration in my subject matter derives from the notion that the scenery may be drastically different in a few years, or gone altogether. Environmental changes, overpopulation, urban growth are but a few factors that attract me to capture the current landscape.” https://www.hildakilpatrick.com/contact/

Dab Art is pleased to present Circumstantial Evidence, a solo exhibition by artist Jane Peterson at NAMBA Arts Space in Downtown Ventura( 47 S Oak St ) with an opening reception on Saturday July 15 6 – 9pm.

In this body of work, Peterson continues to explore the spectrum of human emotion, adopting a “forensic” approach to her subject matter. Each piece contains the elements of a story; objects in context with an environment. Clues are there in terms of shape, smell, and texture.

Peterson aims to create a new form of realism where narrative truth is found in the simple relationships of objects. Her deceivingly simple imagery and textual juxtapositions convey the temporal coexistence of these objects in both the real and the imagined world.

Jane Peterson earned her M.F.A. from the University of Iowa, and has shown extensively in galleries in New York City, as well as Northern and Southern California. She works from her studio located at H Gallery + Studios in Midtown Ventura.
