nothing obtrusive — nothing obscure

Caroline Furr intentionally moves quietly, thoughtfully, through space and her artwork does the same. An intimate reflection, the works are mindful places past and present age unknown.

Her solo exhibition fills the gallery as a temporal space — time floating gently to and fro. Layered yet revealing these tonal dances express themselves as a Floating World.

William Paul Gaetjens was born in Long Beach, CA, in 1946, to a family with a long tradition of working in metal. An early interest in art led to a creative mastery of the medium, with studies at the California College of Arts and Crafts and The DeYoung Museum School. In the 1970's, he worked as an iron worker on the Alaskan Pipeline. This real world experience influences his art today.
