Born in San Francisco, Mary Daniel Hobson has been pursuing photography for over thirty years. With training as an art historian and a graduate degree in Surrealism, Hobson was inspired to combine photography with mixed media. Whether building layered collages, creating intricate still lives, or bottling photographs in mineral oil, Hobson consistently explores layered experiences and inner geographies. Uniting all of her work is an embedded belief that artwork can convey the complexity of our psychological existence and help us make sense of and navigate an ever-shifting world.

CLAIR, "Fort Scott Lattice" (detail), 2024, Oil on canvas, 40 x 30 inches, Courtesy of the artist; This collaboration between Michelle Yi Martin and Johanna St. Clair invites viewers to explore the fascinating tension between fragmentation and unity in both weaving and painting. Weaving, with its intricate dance of individual threads becoming a cohesive fabric, mirrors the dynamic of painting, where brushstrokes slip between distinct marks to create a narrative on a unified surface. In the spaces between threads, marks, and gestures, there exists a universal language, a visual dialogue that transcends the need for words, inviting the viewer to find possibility in the quiet moments of assembly. Michelle Yi Martin is a multi-disciplinary artist based in San Francisco. Her practice is rooted in the progressive traditions of the Bauhaus and Black Mountain College. She is represented ...

VAN WARING, Untitled tangle, 2023, Color pencil on paper, 16x18 inches, Courtesy of the artist. Bolinas-based artist Van Waring was born into a family of artists in the Central Valley and has been making art reliably and fervently since she was old enough to hold a pencil in her hand. Waring studied printmaking and painting at UC Santa Cruz. Always equipped with a magic multi-colored pencil, paper, embroidery floss, and fabric scraps, she incorporates fine art making and creative whimsy while working with community, creating music, and mothering. With this exhibition, Waring’s work evolves from textile-inspired drawings to real textiles and fabric play. The series examines one’s limitations and openings, the finite and infinite in what we weave together in our life, and the resources, the medium, and the mind. She explores “what we do ... Learn More

Terri Loewenthal uses a unique optical technique to create luminous, otherworldly photographs that reimagine the genre of landscape photography. Her starting point for this exhibition is the natural beauty of Mount Tamalpais, to which she brings her own personal and idiosyncratic sense of color and form. Loewenthal’s photographs are, as she states, “not a ’made-up’ image, but rather one that reflects the truth of countless multiplicities: the human capacity for intimacy with land; our connection to a reality that is not merely factual but also arises from emotion and imagination; and our longing for wild, transformative experiences within and without the psyche.” Terri Loewenthal has exhibited at diverse venues, including the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the deYoung Museum, ...
