The LAYERS exhibit will showcase the works of five
San Fernando Valley Women Artists who have painted
together for more than 10 years: Susanne Belcher,
(Tarzana), Joan Foster (Northridge), Darlene Mellein
(Van Nuys), Harriett Lahana and Nicki Newfield
(Sherman Oaks). This show not only celebrates their
differences but honors their friendships.
Darlene Mellein describes their exhibit as “honoring
our differences and celebrating the things we share,
mainly our friendship, a history of creating art
together, and the love of pushing the limits in our work
with a sense of joy.”
Strong bonds, contagious laughter, the courage to give,
the willingness to share, the acceptance of change,
layers that must be shed, growth that must be recognized
and the freeing of the creative mind to move forward
into more of their own “being” is the challenge these
talented women artists have embraced together. Their
distinctly different styles and approaches are linked
not only by their friendship but also by the complexity
and honesty found in the work of each artist. LAYERS go
far beyond the literal for this show.
