The Lompoc Valley Art Association presents Into the Light, a new multimedia art exhibition at Cypress Gallery, which will open on Friday, Dec.4, and is scheduled to remain on display through Sunday, Dec. 27. This solo exhibit showcases works by local artist Kathy Badrak.
“For over 40 years, I’ve spent as much time as possible learning and experimenting with various forms of art,” Badrak said in a press release from the gallery. “I love being a student; stretching myself to try new techniques and approaches.” - Badrak
For this exhibit, Badrak used new techniques and materials to create a variety of multimedia art that reflects themes of change, loss, and self-expression. One featured piece is a mask Badrak constructed from cereal boxes and recycled paper.
“Its facial expression mirrored the way I was feeling,” Badrak said.
The exhibit also features a variety of Badrak’s decorative and functional gourd art (pictured). For more updates from the Lompoc Valley Art Association and more info on its new exhibition, Into the Light, visit lompocart.org.
