The City of Santa Clarita announces a new exhibition, “Before and Beyond Us,” on view from March 4, 2025 – May 27, 2025 at Canyon Country Library. This series of paintings explores fantastic landscapes as reflections of emotional experience, blending dreams, day visions, and real environments. Emerging from the intersection of sensuality, intellect, and psychology, the work examines how emotional memories shape the body and the way we interpret the world around us. Balancing between illustration and abstraction, these paintings embrace material freedom and pictorial structure, often painted from memory to preserve their raw, unfiltered essence. Through imagined landscapes depicting a time before or after human existence, the artist constructs a visual language of the psyche, inviting viewers to navigate their own inner landscapes.
