Art Under Pressure
Anne Moore creates monoprints, unique, one-of-a-kind prints, hand-pulled on a manual printing press. Her style ranges from precise to abstract, often hinting at writing forms and incorporating linocuts that she hand carves. Moore says, "I enjoy the hands-on, contemplative work, the surprise of pulling a new print, the reward of seeing effort, experience and creativity unite." Join Sandstone Gallery artists on the first Thursday in January for a special Art Walk opening to kick off a New Year of art!

Dominique McKenzie Exhibition | Unstructured
Sandstone Gallery’s Guest Artist, DOMINIQUE MCKENZIE, is exhibiting a large collection of her mixed media paintings in our Skylight Room. Her show, “Unstructured”, is running now through December 31. Here’s a quote from Dominique’s Artist Statement: “Everything inspires me to paint, particularly the details of my surroundings, up close designs of nature and fondation of my Art.. The imperfections of the landscapes are a reflection of our actual world and working from this idea encourages exploration and leads to multiples possibilities. It is a never ending experiment and the ultimate meditation when your imagination and your sensitivity take over.” Come meet Dominique and see her work in person at the First Thursdays Laguna Beach Art Walk on Dec 7 from 6-9 PM.

Unstructured | Exhibition by Dominique McKenzie
The gorgeous energy in Dominique’s work is particularly inspired by the endless possibilities for exploration she sees in designs of nature, especially when viewed up close. Shown here is one of many pieces from Dominique’s “Structured Series” (all currently available).
We think you’ll agree that you can feel a sense of passionate abandon in these pieces, and we look forward to sharing more of Dominique’s work when she returns to our Skylight Room from November 1 through December 4. Opening night is next Thursday, November 2, from 6-9 PM, during @firstthursdaysartwalk

By employing craft materials and techniques in an elevated and thoughtful manner, Mead creates compositions that are modern and fresh using materials that are familiar and timeworn.
