“Views from Home,” an exhibition of works by noted California plein air painter Laurie Hendricks, opens Saturday, March 18, 2023, hosted by the South Pasadena Arts Council (SPARC) at the SPARC Gallery in South Pasadena, with a reception from 3 to 6 p.m. The exhibition will run through May 13, 2023.
Hendricks, whose work spans landscape, still life, portraiture, and figurative paintings, interprets the natural world through the filters of her impressions and emotional responses. “My goal is that my feelings about the subject matter come through in the work, by using rhythm, color harmony and the music of painting,” Hendricks writes. “My hope is that the viewer will respond to these colors and shapes that I put down on my canvas, because the plein air painting is one that speaks to them on an emotional level.”
Admission to “View from Home” is free. The SPARC Gallery, operated by the South Pasadena Arts Council, is located inside the Chamber of Commerce at 1121 Mission St., South Pasadena. (Masks recommended.) Following Saturday’s opening, Gallery hours will vary. To schedule a visit, contact Blue Trimarchi at (626) 676-4195.
