Janet Chaffee's work is an intuitive and playful exploration of composition, color, and abstraction combined with elements of nature. The initial drawings for this work are derived from found rock formations along the border of California and Mexico as well as, from the Continental Divide of the Rocky Mountains. Chaffee also draws from found lace work. The lace becomes a screen in each painting. Allowing the viewer to stay on the surface or pass through to discover layers beneath.

Benito Huerta's subject matter includes an amalgamation of political, economic, and social commentary along with personal identity and pop-culture references. The artist stated that there are a couple strands of work that are different from each other, visually, and that there are pieces that are remarkably different because they’re addressing issues that are current and topical. Some of the work is addressing similar issues, but with a different approach, and others that are much more personal.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through January 11.
