VALISE Gallery’s July show, FOUR FRIENDS PART 2, features fresh art as well as the best of older work by longtime collective members, Jiji Saunders, Pascale Judet, Rachael LordKenaga and Sharon Shaver.

Jiji Saunders will present landscape paintings created over several years, alongside recent works that deepen ongoing themes rooted in the natural world. Through windswept prairies, restless seas and remote far-flung landscapes, the paintings explore isolation, and the complex tensions between humans and the environment.

Pascale Judet says, “I love the coolness of my studio on a hot summer day. I can spend hours coloring my images or hoping that a new one comes to me.”

Rachel continues to explore the unconscious through her ghost series.

Sharon Shaver says, “Memories of looking down from the cliff where my log cabin was perched at streams of turquoise glacier melt water that ribboned the sky-blue salt water of Upper Lynn Canal inspires the water that I so enjoy painting.”

The Opening for FOUR FRIENDS PART 2 is July 3rd from 1 to 9 pm.  The show will continue through the month of July, Fridays and Saturdays 1 to 6 pm.
