BARBARA ROGERS
Titled Botanical Therapy, this exhibition presented through December at Conway of Asia Gallery & Gifts (Mission Street between 5th and 6th, Carmel) showcases 35 paintings by Barbara Rogers that depict the beauty of the botanical world. Rogers’ love of gardens started in Ohio, where she spent her childhood days helping her great aunt and grandmother plant and grow flowers, vegetables and teas for healing. “The work that I make is inspired by those plants that are around me or the ones I travel hundreds of miles to go see,” she wrote. “When I think about botanical therapy, I think about an exchange of energy and caring between plants and you.” [AP]
MARIA POROY
Venture Gallery (260 Alvarado St., Monterey) presents a member artists show titled Full Spectrum Art. The exhibit, on display throughout December, features paintings of a standard size – all are 10-by-10-inches – but in every color and style. “Each is a good painting, together they are breathtaking,” the organizers say. The painting featured above is titled “Vision Quest” by Maria Poroy. “People call me an abstract expressionist,” Poroy wrote on her website, poroyart.com. “Color is my language and I am drawn to subjects that resonate with me, whether it be a barn or a flower.” [AP]
