Featured Art Exhibits:

#2 Schlomer Haus Gallery (2128 Market St):


"Listening" is a collection of driftwood carvings alongside his buoyant lamps, creating a juxtaposition of light and earthly materials that become innate symbols of the human experience.
This solo exhibit  tells the stories of driftwood Cherry has found along Highway 1 since he moved to the West Coast four years ago. The show is an organic amalgamation of representations of friends, relationships, and loneliness, each embedded in the wood.
