Event: Four Mindful Art Practices - Eva Volf, Lainard Bush, Kathy Skerritt, Stephen Calhoun
Dates: 26 Jul 2018 - 18 Aug 2018
Four different creative practices come into dialogue with each other in this energetic exhibition as the artists bring together for the first time their preferred forms, methods, and materials. While the artistic connection across the works of Bush (painting), Calhoun (new media), Skerritt (painting), and Volf (painting) may not be readily apparent through a surface comparison of their imagery, they share an orientation to "mindfulness" ~ the deep focusing of attention without distraction. Drawing upon this in-depth process in which the qualities of their chosen forms and subjects are revealed, they share a delight in making visible what is, perhaps, invisible to others' eyes ~ patterns patterning, multiple perspectives occupying the same space, ineffable light pervading the physical world. It is work that finds in the differences of the artists' approaches something deeply held-in-common as they mindfully approach their tools, each other, and the viewer in rounds of discovery
Event: Dreaming of the Sea

We live in the country situated between two powerful oceans: magnificent Pacific ocean and terrific Atlantic ocean. These oceans are like enormous living beings with their heartbeat, feelings and thoughts. They fill us with calmness and harmony, clear vision, eternal wisdom and creative power. Water flows and changes. Symbolically, it is often viewed as the source of life itself, higher wisdom and eternal metamorphosis. Interestingly, we are all made of water. A single drop causes ripples across the whole sea and so a single person can make a big change to the whole world. Come with me, feel the freedom to explore mysterious watery elements of nature in my refreshing and unconstrained art.

Biography
Eva Volf is a fine artist based in Cleveland, Ohio, United States, who is best known for peaceful atmospheric seascapes. Her love of the Ocean flows deeply from childhood memories, renewed with every breaking wave and cleansing salty splash. Inspired by the majesty of the seas and beaches of the world, she channels her emotions of tranquility and fulfillment to the viewer through oil on canvas. Conceptualized at the source, each seascape is sketched at the beach to capture the vision before completion in the studio.
Volf is an Elected Artist member of the American Artists Professional League NYC as well as an exhibiting member of the Artists' Archives of the Western Reserve and the Oil Painters of America. Her paintings have been in various exhibitions, including eight one-woman shows. Her art has won awards, including a number of First Places and Best of Shows. Eva`s work has been featured in American Art Collector, Plein Air, Vogue, Magzoid and Photo Book Magazines, "Artists at Work", a Cable 9 TV Show, Fox 8 News, Fox 8 Morning Show "Kickin' it with Kenny", WKYC News, NPR Ideastream, News Herald, and other news outlets.
Eva’s work is held in numerous private,
corporate and several public collections in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Europe
