January 25, 2023 § Leave a comment

WE’RE PLEASED to present the inaugural exhibition of Western Edge, a powerhouse creative collective of established Santa Barbara artists. Many of these artists have known each other and collaborated together for years. Now they have joined forces to present a broad spectrum of realist and abstract work, including paintings, assemblage, ceramics and sculpture.
Members participating in this exhibition include Dorothy Churchill-Johnson, Pamela Hill Enticknap, Nancy Gifford, Ruth Ellen Hoag, Cynthia James, RT Livingston, Cynthia Martin, Joan Rosenberg-Dent, Kerrie Smith, Marlene Struss, Susan Tibbles and Veronica Walmsley.
The exhibition is curated by Andi Campognone, director of the Museum of Art and History in Lancaster, CA. It opens on February 2 and continues through March 25, 2023, at the Thomas Reynolds Gallery at 1331 State Street in Santa Barbara, near the historic Arlington Theater.

Creative Collective Brings the Western Edge to Downtown Santa Barbara
“In many ways, artists live always on the edge, standing at the precipice of something new — a painting, a sculpture, an interpretation — that didn’t exist previously. Now, a group of women artists who call themselves, collectively, Western Edge, are bringing their work together for the first time in an exhibition at the Thomas Reynolds Gallery.”
