“The human spirit is a natural gardener,
producing bouquets in the soul constantly,” says Leigh Toldi, one of the
artists whose painting “Unfolding Bouquet” will be in the art show at City Hall
in Daly City to celebrate the induction and inaugural term of David J. Canepa
as Mayor of Daly City.
The exhibit, “New Beginnings,” runs from
January 16 through March 31 an
features twenty-two members of the Peninsula
Chapter of Women’s Caucus for Art - painters, photographers, textile artists,
printmakers, sculptors and mixed media artists.
A reception for the public will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. January
16. The reception will be catered by
Elephant Bar.
Alysanne McGaffey describes her recent
watercolor poetically, “Waves sweep in roiling, tumbling, scrubbing the beach
clear to begin life anew with each passing tide, creating my ‘Blue Beach.’”
Fiber artist, Bonnie J. Smith’s work titled,
“The Team,” is based on a long, life changing project that involved team
work. She feels that it relates to the
project of becoming mayor and needing a team to make it work.
Lorraine Capperell maintains a regimen that
includes tai chi, meditation and producing a new watercolor painting each
day. Her piece for this show is titled,
“ Awakening.”
This exhibit is co-curated by Marian Yap and
Bonnie J. Smith.
