Incredible wildlife and nature imagery by three women photographers are highlighted in this exhibit at the Gallery at 48 Natoma in Folsom. Photographers Mary Aiu, Lynne Edwards, and Ruby Pacheco will bring their award-winning expertise to the display.
In the adjacent Community Gallery at 48 Natoma, paintings created by the animals from the Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary will be on display. Trained zoo professionals provide animals such as tigers, mountain lions, deer, monkeys, rodents and birds, with non-toxic, washable paint. The animals then “paint” by using their paws, or crawl, wiggle and stamp on canvases. Their abstract paw prints, claw marks and scratchings become beautiful abstract works of art. The finished paintings will be offered for sale as a fundraiser for the Zoo programs.
The public is invited to celebrate both exhibits at the opening reception with refreshments, wine, and live guitar music by Gabe Becker. As an added treat, Gallery 48 also anticipates that several smaller animal artists from the zoo (perhaps the Funk the skunk and Boss Hog the hedgehog) will be present at the reception for visitors to meet and watch him in-action painting during the reception. The paintings will then be available for purchase!
