Rainbow Garden
June 27 - Fun times at the opening reception, 6-9pm
Aaron Piland and Ayumi Kajikawa Piland are the fantastical magical duo
known as APAK. They are a childlike husband and wife collaborative art
group who live among the fury conifer giants in a little cottage on the
outskirts of Portland, Oregon. They create artwork together as a way
exploring the beauty, mystery, and magic of life as well as expressing
their love for life and each other.
They are known in particular for creating rich and colorful
gouache/acrylic paintings on wood featuring the utopian lives and
adventures of curious little beings living in lush fantastic environments
surrounded by friendly little animals, the landscapes are familiar yet
surreal, hinting at a fantastic narrative while suggesting truths about the
real world at the same time. Please visit them online at www.apakstudio.com or visit their

Take a vacation in the city and join us for the opening reception of Scenic Route at Tinlark Gallery on Saturday, June 27, 6-9pm.
Scenic Route explores that sense of discovery and wonder we
all experience on vacation but somehow lose once we return
to our hectic everyday lives in Los Angeles. Artists Ana Serrano,
Katherine Siy and Sarah Stephens, all graduates of Art Center
School of Design, celebrate the amazing little signifiers of our
citified existence, the unique architecture, old signs, and miraculously
adaptable flora and fauna, that go unnoticed as we lead overly-scheduled,
hyper-stimulating lives.
