2022 has kicked off with the Lover’s Eye invitational exhibition at Pence Gallery. I love their poetic theme and I am excited to have one of my blown-glass-and-ceramic sculptures included in the show.

Lover’s eyes, or eye miniatures, were popular in Great Britain from the late 1700s through the Victorian era. Typically painted on a small piece of ivory, an eye miniature depicts a single eye, representing the gaze of a loved one. Thought to have been originally created as a secret token of love, these mysterious portraits were often worn as jewelry. Thousands survive today, but for the most part, their subjects and the artists who created them are unknown.

The local and regional artists in this exhibit have uniquely explored the lover’s eye theme in various ways. Stellar participating artists include Steven Levin, Adam Forfang, Chris Leib, Kirstine Hansen, Natasha Dikareva, and Laurelin Gilmore, among others.

Exhibition runs: January 7 – January 30, 2022
Reception: January 14, 6-9 PM
212 D Street, Davis, CA 95616

Seacoast Artist Association was open during the holidays and got a big surge of visitors buying their last-minute art gifts. This piece has found a new home in Manchester, NH. I am happy to know she will bring joy and serenity to this corner of the world.
