IT’S A JOURNEY . . .

Granite Bay Students and Local Artists Showcase at Blue Line

ROSEVILLE, CA, November 16, 2010—This Saturday the Blue Line Gallery will open two exciting new exhibits showcasing the work of eleven Roseville Arts member artists and six advanced art students from Granite Bay High School.

“It’s the Journey Not the Destination” will feature varied interpretations of the artist’s journey in a variety of two- and three-dimensional formats. Sandra Boschert’s largescale painting, “Nostalgic Dream,” explores life’s journey in the figure of a reclining woman gracefully intertwined with the weaving path of a game board. Other featured artists include Grace Bourke, Vincent Deleo, Colleen Giorgi, Kevin Wayne Lloyd, Paul Mitchell, Miriam Morris, Judi Nicholson, Joon Park, Ana Luisa Rincon and Pam Wilkinson.

The paintings of Danielle Johnson, Rebecca Fox, Cayley McDowell, Andrew Streter, Bryson Webb and Alexa Wolf, all advanced art students in Myron Stephens’ class at Granite Bay High School, will also be showcased in an exhibit opening at the Blue Line on Saturday. “My paintings explore the tension between wonderful dreams and the issues within everyday life,” said Johnson. Focusing on themes of freedom, change and identity, her creative narratives reveal natural landscapes and figures contrasted with abstract or pop art elements.

The public is invited to meet the artists at an opening reception November 20, 7:00-9:00p.m. Artwork will be for sale. Live guitar and percussion music will be provided by Dorian Rohlfes and Sean Raeside of Rocklin. The Blue Line Gallery will also participate in downtown holiday activities that day with children’s art activities, 1-4pm and cookie decorating, 4:40-6:30pm.
