In this exhibition, Isabel, is introducing new hanging sculptures of glass and metal. She is illustrating the light in the redwood forest, the boughs of the trees, and the salty air. Her gold, silver, and stone jewelry echo these observations into wearable pieces. Also included are watercolor paintings relating to these works. Throughout her large and small, abstract and figurative work she connects visual threads of her natural world.

Isabel Rucker is a multi-disciplinary artist living on the coast. She spends much time outdoors where she observes nature and its ethereal phenomena like refraction, illumination, and reflection of light. These phenomena appeal to her love of abstraction and design and she distills them to elements from the whole. While outside she enjoys using all of her senses to take in the world, touching tree bark and tide pools, listening to birds and waves, tasting nasturtiums, and breathing in seaside air. |

An acquisition of some old growth redwood slabs inspires his current majestic bowls, plates, platters and objects d’art. Knowing he is working on wood from a tree that was hundreds if not thousands of years old is both humbling and rewarding. “I continue to be amazed at what happens with an unremarkable round of wood. I cut it in half, put it on the lathe, and let the shape, grain, and nuances in the wood guide me with my tools. The results are almost magical.” ~ Scott Gaustad |

Wood turner, Scott Gaustad took up his craft about 15 years ago. A retired lawyer from Ukiah, he became hooked with turning wood from the first day a client taught him the process. |
