Layers, Textures Abound at CV Arts Center Reception

Artist Jenn Leighton Parker has taught art in Castro Valley schools for the last 23 years.

Please join award-winning artists Jenn Leighton Parker and Stephen Bourque for a reception and sale of their work at the Castro Valley Center for the Arts this Saturday, September 7, from 3:30-6:00pm.  Layers and textures are important elements of Jenn’s work, revealing a variety of materials. “I find my inspiration in color explorations, natural elements, vintage drawings, playful child-inspired designs, religious symbols and text.” Her medium for this exhibit is encaustic.

Stephen’s work must be seen to be believed!  He creates large canvases from thousands of tiny, cut lottery tickets, some containing as many as 100,000+ individual pieces. He enjoys making something beautiful from materials that are ordinarily thrown in the garbage. His medium is collage.

Local artist and Castro Valley Arts Foundation curator Susan Sarti will play the piano and refreshments will be served.

The Castro Valley Center for the Arts is located at 19501 Redwood Road, Castro Valley. Free Parking. Handicap accommodations.
