RECEPTION
FEB 24, 2018

The Student Art Show is a much-loved opportunity for our children to have their art displayed professionally at the Topanga Canyon Gallery. This year's show will feature art from every room TK - 5, each with their own theme. Families are encouraged to visit the gallery to see the works on display and look forward to bringing the pieces home--no purchase necessary--after the show is over.
To support our school's thriving arts program, we are proud to be able to offer art work generously donated by artists who are members of the Topanga parent community in a Silent Auction. Please Visit the Topanga Canyon Gallery to place your bid throughout the week.
Please enjoy the preview below of pieces available at the auction!

Artist: Cheryl Cambras
Title: Gold Mapping 1
Medium: gold leaf, acrylic paint, and thread on sheet metal
Size: approx. 12 inches x 12 inches
Artist info: Cheryl Cambras is a painter and video artist, working in Topanga Canyon. She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been collected and exhibited internationally.
Artwork info: Inspired by ancient expressions of sacred geometry, I created my Gold Mapping series to explore Earth itself as a communicative medium. These pieces exist as idealized landscapes, as cross-sections of the celestial body we inhabit. Colorful threads hover above reclaimed industrial sheet metal. I apply gold leaf to create a luminous surface that reflects the intersecting lines, lending them a dual existence as conduits of geological energy and of human communication.

Artist: Beth Katz
Ceramic Bell
Beth Katz is the creative force behind Mt. Washington Pottery, a beautiful collection of functional and decorative ceramics.
Beth makes all the work by hand and on the potter's wheel in her Los Angeles, California studio. Her work has an elegant simplicity, which marries the wabi-sabi aesthetic of traditional Japanese ceramics and the modernism of Scandinavian design. These elements are clearly visible in the fluidity of her forms and in the literal mark she leaves of her own hand: the remnant of her fingerprints at the bottom of each piece.

Lapiz Luzuli Necklace
Long and low slung 38" Lapiz Lazuli necklace with 14K gold fill beads and clasp.
Hand knotted on silk thread.
WARRIOR grew from a windswept seed in Africa to the mountains of Topanga, California, where it became rooted.
Drawing inspiration from nature, the juxtaposition of texture and form, cultural traditions, repurposing and natural found objects, WARRIOR is the line upon the horizon where ocean meets sky; where bohemian chique meets clean lines to form simple design.
It is everyday wear... needing no occasion but life itself; reminding us to live simply, authentically and to remember our spirit
