Bodega Bay, CA August 9, 2009) The work of papermaker and printmaker Carol Brighton is being shown at The Ren Brown Collection, August 13 through September 27. There will be a reception and artist's talk and papermaking demonstration on Saturday August 15, 2-4 pm.

 

Brighton's many journeys throughout Asia and the mountains of the Himalayas are reflected in this introspective inquiry into time and memory and the path of a traveler.

 

Continuing in a tradition of monotypes and handmade paper, Brighton prints images that record an interior experience of real places, reflected in the mind's eye, as in a dream rather than a photograph. Each monotype print is a single copy, a painterly print. Her handmade paper works are pulp painting with intaglio print in the same introspective vein.

 

The Ren Brown Collection is located an hour north of San Francisco in Bodega Bay.  The gallery specializes in contemporary art from both sides of the Pacific. It is a unique setting on Coastal Highway One, housed in an architect's designed, refurbished building with shoji and a small, serene Japanese garden.They are open 10am -5pm, Wednesday to Sunday and closed Monday and Tuesday.
