  General PRS Membership Meeting &

  Second Sunday Studio Visit - Jan Blythe

  Join us for first PRS General Meeting of 2025 plus a Second Sunday Studio at the studio of Jan Blythe. 

  This will be an engaging opportunity for members to connect, ask questions, and stay updated on the latest developments within the organization. This interactive session will cover news about upcoming exhibitions, projects, and initiatives, with time for open discussion to hear your feedback and ideas. Whether you're a long-standing member or new to PRS, your voice is essential to shaping our vibrant community.

  Our General Meeting will be hosted at the studio of Jan Blythe, one of our newest elected Board Members. This day will double with a tour of Jan's space and short discussion of her works.

  "I collect “stuff”. I am a hoarder of objects and materials old and new. My studio is bursting at the seams with things that I’ve gathered from flea markets, hardware stores and nature. There is furniture, fabric, ladders, tar, ash, jewelry, postcards, illustrations, brooms, mops and fire hoses. There is an inquisitiveness about what I do with an object or material. What happens when I cut, wrap, burn, paint, erase, pour, add/subtract, and transform?

  This process is crucial as it opens up so many avenues and dictates the journey the work will take later on. I am often surprised at the results of my labor while in a state of making as often the work will reveal a narrative which has been hidden deep in my psyche. When I have finished my explorations the original objects or material may still be recognizable or not show at all but has played its part in my investigations."

  -Jan Blythe

  PRS Board Member Catherine Daley

  PACIFIC RIM SCULPTORS invites you to the Closing Reception and Artist Talk of Land, Sky, and Sea: A Tapestry of Perspectives on Saturday, March 15, 2 - 4pm at Sonoma State University Art Gallery. Guests are welcome!

  The exhibition is environmentally themed and features the artworks of PRS member Catherine Daley, as well as the artworks of former photojournalist Adrian Mendoza and former PRS member, Bambi Waterman. All three artists will give a walk-through talk about their respective artworks. Gallery Director Claudia Molloy will be on-hand as well. 

  Curated by Catherine Daley, Land, Sky, and Sea explores various ecosystems through terrestrial, aerial, and underwater perspectives. Daley’s minimalist sculptures, bronzes, and landscape photographs highlight the fragile and subtle beauty of our planet. Mendoza's aerial photography and fiber art showcase dynamic, patterned landscapes in jewel-like tones and stark black-and-white contrasts. Lastly, Waterman’s intricate ceramics and underwater seascape paintings capture the delicate and stunning beauty of our oceans.
