Rebecca Clark: Witness
The work of Washington, DC artist Rebecca Clark addresses urgent issues of ecocide and the transformative power of nature. Inspired by plant and animal studies of the Northern Renaissance, nature mysticism, and Buddhist teachings of impermanence and cycles of life, Clark's drawings capture transient moments of grace and beauty rendered with exquisite detail, luring us into the worlds of birds and insects.

10% of the proceeds from sales of Rebecca Clark’s drawings will be donated to the Seva Foundation which works to prevent blindness and restore sight worldwide.

Richard Whittaker: Visible and Invisible
The photographs of Oakland artist Richard Whittaker question the potential for capturing a moment of feeling in the presence of beauty. Real but elusive moments can sometimes be caught in a visual image. For Whittaker, such moments always include an essential quality of feeling and remind us all of a kind of nourishment that too often is missing in our lives.

Photography has been a constant companion in Whittaker’s wide-ranging explorations for the past 35 years and is one of the keys informing his work as a publisher, editor, writer, lecturer and thinker in the realm of contemporary art.
