Art, painting, and creative experiences.
Collective Serendipity
Art Show
Three local artists, mostly functional art. This is the first of what I hope becomes a monthly series — an art show every first Saturday, featuring a new lineup each time, always artists working in different mediums.
This month: CJ Atlas brings hand-thrown ceramics, MM shows woodworking and mixed-media pieces exploring color and texture, and Tami H brings handcrafted eco-friendly and upcycled jewelry. Stop by, meet the artists, and see what serendipity brought us together.
Curious about the series, or an artist who'd like to be part of a future show? Someone gave me the opportunity to do art for a living so I would like to extend the opportunity to others. Get in touch!

About MM
I work under the name MM, a self-taught artist whose practice begins with listening. Rather than approaching a piece with a predetermined outcome, I try to work without expectations, allowing the work and the materials at hand to guide me. I respond to what they seem to need in the present moment rather than forcing them toward an idea of what they should become.
This openness keeps my practice in a constant state of exploration. Most recently, that exploration has led me into woodworking and constructed forms, expanding the ways I think about material, space, and structure.
My work explores the relationship between consciousness, emotion, movement, and the things we experience but cannot always see.
