While we all are increasingly more dependent on up-to-the-minute news, there is a dying breed of art that has resulted from the current technology age of Twitter, Blackberries and the Internet.

As the public refers to these quick and transitory forms of the media, the sometimes brilliant work of the illustrator has become more and more rare. Many newspapers and media sources are terminating the use of original art to illustrate articles.

In a fantastic display at the Gallery at 48 Natoma, three artists work of famous faces and events will be highlighted in the exhibit, “All That’s Fit to Print” from March 19 to May 6, 2010.

Former artist from the Sacramento Bee, Charles Waltmire will show a fifteen year retrospective of his cover art for the award-wining newspaper. Illustrating memorable news articles in regional, national and international news with his breathtakingly realistic paintings of celebrities, political figures and national events his work has been widely recognized.

Along with this exciting collection of illustrations, the gallery will showcase the ceramic works of Karen Calden Fulk. Her entertaining pieces capture more famous likenesses of movie stars, historical figures and politicians.

In a companion exhibit at the gallery, Ms. Fulk will show her whimsical character sketches along with notable courtroom art by Vicki Behringer. Famous national courtroom trials such as those of Michael Jackson, Scott Peterson, and Barry Bonds, to name a few, will be highlighted.

No one should miss this important art exhibit at the Gallery at 48 Natoma this spring - it might be your last chance to see this remarkable form of art.

The opening reception for both exhibits is Friday, March 19 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and will include live music by the multi-talented Charles Waltmire’s own band, Garageland Rodeo (he also plays the drums). Wine and refreshments will be sponsored by the Folsom Patrons of the Arts.

The artists’ reception and the exhibit are free and open to the public and art is available for purchase.

Gallery hours are Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with additional hours on some week nights and Saturdays. Please call the gallery for holiday, evening and weekend hours. Special group and free school tours can be arranged by appointment.

Some Pretty Kickass Art!

We're huge fans of anything and everything eco-friendly, so when we heard about this exciting new endeavour by two of our favorite local artists, we couldn't be more jazzed!

In their own words:

"Combining our energies, artists Lisa Deniz and Brandy Hart-Ureel , collectively pack a powerful punch with mixed media components of fused glass, clay sculpture, metal sculpture and paintings.

These new works are very organic indeed…finding scrap yard jewels amidst the rubble; we are bringing these retired components back to life. The energy contained within a time well served becomes the inspiration when combined with our modern sculpted elements.

Together the story unfolds and the present is woven with the past. This eco-minded approach to design is just the beginning. Designs and components are virtually photographed and virtually installed to provide you the visual you need…prior to fabrication.

And the colorations….all I can say is, Wow!!!

These rusted, scratched, worn, distressed and evolved surfaces are they true gift of time. They are so tantalizing that we have created an entire line of graphically multi-layered 2D images that can be printed on glass, fabric, wood and even metal….creating a line of works that are friendly for both interiors and durable for exteriors.

Check out the video…it will give you a taste of what’s to come…get mark…get set…..REVERSE2 is born!!!!"

Love it ladies!
