Opening Reception: Windows in the Church of Nature by Tom Dakin

This exhibit reflects a journey of unintentional self-awareness. It began years ago with a deck of cards offering insights into behavior, using nature’s inhabitants as both examples and teachers. From there, Tom Dakin designed and executed cross-stitch patterns of animals, later experimenting with beading before moving between media and creating new designs. About six years ago, the muse prompted a shift to glass, and the work has evolved ever since. The show is a fusion of mosaic, petroglyph, cave painting, and prairie school, seasoned with elements of fantasy. Many of the totems represented hold personal meaning for the artist, yet all carry significance after all, even an ant casts a shadow. Dakin hopes viewers will recall the fleeting joy of seeing a hawk or eagle sweep overhead, or the quiet wonder of speaking to a deer and imagining, just for a moment, that it understands. While anthropomorphism can be taken too far, recognizing the positive traits of other beings and choosing to emulate them is at the heart of this “Church.”

Zentangle Inspired Art covers a wide range of styles & mediums. It is essentially artwork that is inspired by and/or includes Zentangle pattern drawing is representational (not abstract or unplanned) and that’s what makes it ZIA. Discover the joy of creating Zentangle Inspired Art or ZIA. Join us for Holiday Gnomes. A 2 ½-3 hour ZIA class where we’ll create cute gnomes for the holidays. Most of us are familiar with the cute gnomes with red hats that we see during the holiday season. I’ll share a brief history of the gnome and why we think of them this time of year. And we’ll draw 2, maybe 3 gnomes on Zentangle Phi tiles. These tiles are inspired by the Fibonacci spiral and measure 3” x 5”. This project makes a cute design to display in your home and make you smile. Although this is a ZIA class, we will be using the Zentangle Method to draw. This class is for everyone! No Zentangle experience is required, and all tools and materials are included! This class covers: · Brief History and Symbolism of wreaths · How to draw a Zentangle gnome using tangles · Foundational concepts of the Zentangle Method: aura and drawing behind · How to draw and modify tangles for ZIA · You’ll gain practice, learn new tangles, or perhaps a new perspective for drawing familiar tangles
