UKIAH — The shifting perspectives that make up human perception are expressed in the Grace Hudson Museum”s upcoming exhibit, “Points of Encounter: Catherine Woskow and Larry Thomas,” which opens on May 25.
A special preview reception on May 24, from 5 to 8 p.m., is free-of-charge with museum admission. Refreshments by Jackie Lee and music by Will Siegel will be featured, along with an opportunity to meet the artists.
Woskow and Thomas are both internationally known and widely exhibited painters who reside in Mendocino County but whose work is rarely shown locally. Both use the technique of layering multiple images over each other.
While Thomas favors the natural landscapes that unfold outside his Fort Bragg home as his point of encounter, Woskow”s subject matter is the mysterious and ever-changing personality emanating from the head and face of a human being.
“Points of Encounter” runs through July 28 and will include a docent and member tour led by exhibit curator Marvin Schenck on June 4, and a “Meet the Artists” tour on June 23.
Catherine Woskow, a long-time supporter of the museum, will donate 50 percent of the proceeds from all her paintings sold during this exhibit to the museum”s Sun House Guild, which funded the exhibition.
The Grace Hudson Museum is located at 431 S. Main St. in Ukiah and is a part of the City of Ukiah”s Community Services Department.
General admission to the museum costs $4, $10 per family, $3 for students and seniors, and free-of-charge to members or on the first Friday of the month.
