“CLose to Home” an Unusual Perspective of the Usual by Artsits Robyn Feeley and Fae Horowitz

September 2, 2010

An Unusual Perspective of the Usual

Topanga Canyon Gallery announces the opening of its new show, “Close To Home”, an unusual perspective of the usual, featuring new works by Robyn Feeley and Fae Horowitz.

The inspiration for the show, which opens on Wednesday September 29th, came to Artographer Fae Horowitz on one of her morning walks. Photographs from her world travels usually serve as the basis of her work, but on a morning walk in her Santa Monica neighborhood, Fae realized that she doesn’t have to travel far and wide to capture fantastic subject matter.  It was all in front of her,  “Close to Home”.

Topanga’s Robyn Feeley, known for her whimsical animal portraits, recently discovered long forgotten artwork in the attic of her childhood home -  dog paintings and a mosaic koala bear dating back to the late 1960’s. Robyn will unveil a new series of work: familiar Canyon scenes as seen through the eyes of her frog friend, “Dennis Hop-per”.

“Close to Home” runs from Wednesday Sept 29th through Sunday October 10th – two weeks only.

See the show and meet the artists at the Artist Reception on Saturday October 2nd from 5pm-8pm.

TCG @ the Glendale Open Studio Tour

July 24, 2010

Carmen Cohen

Artists Robyn Feeley, Fae Horowitz, Carmen Monne and Felice Willat represented the gallery at the Glendale Open Studio Tour. In addition to participating in the event, Robyn, Carmen, Debbi and Felice have a piece of art hanging at the Brand Gallery through August 13th. But, let’s talk about today!

Our set up was top notch! The work was a nice representation and attracted many.
Carmen and Felice were chatted up by the former head of the Glendale Culture Department.  A number of visitors inquired about Fae’s Artographs as well. However, there was a hiccup with the bus system and since our lovely park location was away from the hub, we got few visitors. Robyn sold “Dancing in the Moonlight” …but if we were paid for laughing, we all would have made millions!

Between Carmen’s stories, all of our “senior” moments, last minute made up titles of art…Felice’s flat tire, and the grand finale? Death of the orange cone by Carmen Monne and the lovely young man that rescued it from beneath Carmen’s van. Laughter that brought tears…was worth every minute of the day!

What’s next?  One never knows with this fantastic artist cooperative!  Get ready for “Welcome to Our House”…Bird show / Fundraiser for the Birds at the                                                                Nature of Wildworks 501c3…more to come…
