GALLERY WALK-THROUGH Tierra del Sol Gallery

Join Tierra del Sol Gallery and with artist Jackie Marsh; Rebecca Hamm, Director of Arts; Paige Wery, Gallery Director; and others for a virtual walk-through of Jackie Marsh's solo show at the Tierra del Sol Gallery. The exhibition includes her drawings, paintings and ceramic sculptures from the last 10 years.

Jackie Marsh has worked as a studio artist at the progressive art studios of Tierra del Sol since 2009. Marsh produces whimsical depictions of animals and flowers in painting, drawing and ceramics. In both her two- and three-dimensional work, gestural mark-making is combined with a vibrant and loosely applied color palette to define her delightfully exuberant style.

In addition to being a studio artist, Marsh also teaches art classes at Upland Art Studios, the Joslyn Senior Center and other venues. Her work has been exhibited at such venues as the Chan Gallery, Pomona College, Claremont, California; California Baptist University, Riverside, California; Claremont Graduate University, Claremont, California; and Zask Gallery, Palos Verdes, California. When she’s not developing her art career, you can find Marsh at work providing compassionate care to the animals of local animal shelters.

ARTIST TALK Ann Le
April 30, 2-3pm (PDT)
REGISTER for this ONLINE event (hosted via Zoom) www.tinyurl.com/HomeEdition-Le

Ann Le has always dealt with identity, culture, family history, and the duality of becoming Vietnamese-American in her work. Inspired by the cultural contexts in her life, Le correlates the artificial with remembrances of generational trauma. Sentiment is vital in her works as she questions her personal experiences to construct imposing art.  She excavates her lineage by revisiting her family’s experiences by using personal and found images to reconstruct slippages in time and history. As layers of images are stacked upon one another, Le travels through time commenting on the idea of home, displacement, separation, and how we embrace and conquer loss. Tragic and Poetic composites are pieced together to unravel narratives which places her Vietnamese-American perspective into a contemporary landscape. Ann Le was born in San Diego, CA and currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

(Dis)Comfort: A Virtual Project
June 1 - August 31, 2021
When we think of comfort and (dis)comfort, we often think of polar-opposite feelings of ease and unease; however, in 2020/2021 the global pandemic, cultural and racial upheaval, and the myriad of changes to our lives have left us feeling a constellation of emotions. This project is a call to consider your own experiences with comfort and (dis)comfort in this time of instability, disruption, and isolation. Open to Chaffey College students, artists, and community members who live, go to college, and/or work in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.
