I am happy to show my Shell Ladies at SMArt Gallery in San Francisco for the next two months. If you missed the opening on September 7, you can stop by on October 5th, 6-9 pm as part of the First Thursday Art Walk. Hope to see you there!

Press Release:
SMArt Gallery and Studio is happy to present the work of local ceramic sculptor Natasha Dikareva. The Sea Calling series explore a moment of sheltering–tuning out the cacophony of urban life and buzz of electronics and tuning into oneself. Offering an optimistic sense of individual strength, these beings experience a more primordial, somatic connection with the world, feeling with their bodies instead of their minds. Listening to the rhythm of their own organism, they tune into the feminine element of water and immerse themselves in purification, intuition and the subconscious.

The shell acts as a resonating device for these creatures, amplifying their meditation and creating a protective environment to explore the mysteries of the self. When they emerge out from their shells, these ladies emit a soothing, radiant presence, serenely navigating both the tumultuous currents and still surfaces of many waters.

Show is open September 6 – October 27, 2017 (Note: Gallery will be closed September 16)
​Regular Hours: Wed – Sun 11:30am – 5:30pm
