JULY

AODC Gallery Features CENTRAL VALLEY IMAGERY

Art Work by Jill Jensen, Guest Artist

 The members of Art On the Divide Cooperative Gallery are excited to welcome guest artist Jill Jensen and “Central Valley Imagery” featuring her acrylic paintings and selected pieces of pottery, exhibiting from July 2nd through Aug. 1st, 2021.   On Sunday, July 11th, visitors to the gallery are invited to meet the artist from 1-3 p.m.  Mary Beth Dowd will be playing a selection of tunes on her keyboard and snacks and beverages will be available.

Jill Jensen’s life was filled with art from the beginning and she received ongoing support for her interest in the arts, studying with a number of influential Alaskan painters and sculptors before continuing her studies abroad and in the Bay Area of Northern California.

In Jill’s words, she, “...loves the challenge of composing a painting:  the colors, the dancing lights and dark shadows, and creating a mood.” 

Jill and her husband, Steve, moved to Greenwood, California in the 1970’s and established the Greenwood Pottery.  Jill taught children’s ceramics and adult drawing and painting classes and was also a member of “The Gallery” in Georgetown for several years, before AODC was formed.  More recently, Jill entered Art On the Divide gallery’s 7th Annual Invitational Exhibit and sold two of her entries.  We are very happy to welcome Jill back.

"Nature's Solace" 7th Annual Invitational Show

Applications are now available for our annual Invitational show held in the month of September.  Applications due by August 2nd.  Click on the Application Tri-Fold button below to download the application. One definition of “solace” means “comfort in times of distress”.  We will challenge artists to develop art that represents their feeling of comfort from nature.  Perhaps it is art that brings remembrance about a walk in the woods or on a beach, a swim in a favorite lake, fishing, exploring wildlife, smelling flowers, gardening, or working with elements from nature such as wood and precious metals.   The possibilities are limitless and the artwork will be diverse.

Its 2021 - AODC Celebrates a Decade on the Divide, your local source for gifts and fine art.

We are excited to be in our 11th year on the Divide with a continued celebration of the Arts

​

AODC gallery currently has twelve local artists.  Artists have joined, left for various reasons, and new ones have replaced the vacancies.  The gallery is open to artists that provide something new and different.  If you or someone you know is looking to join the gallery , the application and information regarding membership is available here...

AODC artists continue to "refresh" the gallery monthly with new art.  Providing the community with workshops to teach various art techniques and receptions to showcase the art are typical of our monthly offerings.   We welcome feedback from the community to help us plan workshops.  What would you like to learn?  Past workshops have included jewelry, stained glass, mask making, collage and rose-pruning.Directly behind the gallery is a historic rose garden that is maintained by the artists.  We have been fortunate to have the Divide Garden Club help with rose-pruning, and hope to continue with that collaboration.  They have also been generous in awarding the gallery many years of grants to help with this maintenance.AODC gallery is pleased to provide a space for local student art, under the leadership of Susan Sasano, a local volunteer.  She reaches out to our local schools and will switch out the artwork regularly.
