Doug Baird

This exhibit focuses on visual perception and contemplation, and is the first official venue in the Idea Enhancement project, a multi-year effort to promote innovative and creative thought through visual imagery. Visitors will be encouraged to participate by writing down their thoughts and feelings after viewing the images. These insights will then be used in the creation of new images for subsequent exhibitions. At the conclusion of this project; digital files of all the images will be made available free of charge. Please stop by and become involved in a creative movement.

Landscape/Skyscape/Dreamscape
Daniel McPheeters
Artiist Daniel McPheeters says that:
"Over the past year I have been working on a new series of pieces that I call “Landscape/Skyscape/Dreamscape.” This body of work represents my lifelong interest in science, nature, and art and how these interconnect. I live on a hilltop in the woods, far away from city lights. Often the night sky, set against the forest’s edge, is quite dramatic and stirring. As an avid sky watcher I follow the constellations as they change with the seasons and try to interpret celestial events in my works. I capture my experiences in my pieces by giving them a surreal, dreamlike quality.
I often include lines and grids in my pieces. As I contemplate the vastness of the heavens, with hundreds of billions of galaxies, each with hundreds of billions of stars, I am aware of how everything is connected. Even the smallest sub-atomic particle is connected with every other particle in the universe. The lines of quantum connection unify the universe in a whirling cosmic dance of unknowable beauty."

Memorabilia: Recent Work on Past Pleasures
Time outdoors, travel and archaeology influence and inspire me. I often exhibit in and curate thematic, multimedia or feminist shows. My goal as an artist/teacher is to enhance the skills, creativity and invention that expand every area of our lives. For works, exhibits and resume: www.rebeccagodin.com

"Curious "
The works in this show merge James Spitznagel's curiosity about the world around him with how curious (or peculiar) this world can be. Each photographic element, distorted in color and shape, originates as a found object, chosen by the artist for his particular reaction to it at a precise moment in time. Through the use of a digital camera, a computer and a television screen, Spitznagel engages in an ultra-modern form of Abstract Expressionism, using gradients, cropping tools and high resolutions to illustrate the emotions the Action Painters once illustrated through paint and canvas.
