New in 2022, we’ve expanded the Nano Gallery to include more artwork than ever before! DC Arts Center’s Nano Gallery produces four exhibitions annually. The Nano Gallery offers artists an additional resource for presenting their work, which because of its size, might not have the opportunity for a solo exhibit elsewhere. “While Karen’s work is as much about the natural environment depicted through organic abstract forms, it is equally representative of memory – the personal memories she built in that very place.”ĭC Arts Center’s Nano Gallery was created to present small format art in a professional exhibition setting.

They are now available as a series of giclées on museum etching paper that manipulate the sizes and viewpoints of each composition as well as coloring pages for you to interpret in your favorite color combinations or to fill in with interesting patterns or collage materials.” These bold juxtapositions of organic shapes were originally depicted as collages created in my studio at the shore house. The colors, textures, and shapes of the garden, sunrises, sunsets, and the movements of the tides are all interpreted in SURF. “For over six decades, I lived and worked and played and grew in this amazing place. “I have drawn and communed with the sea for most of my life as I was fortunate to call an idyllic barrier island home,” said artist Karen La Du. SURF: A View From After takes you into imaginary landscapes reminiscent of a beautiful garden where land, sea, and sky converge. The exhibition features petite prints with bold color juxtapositions of organic shapes, providing alternately microscopic and enlarged views of the collaged originals that mimic the ebb and flow of the tides. From frango com bacon (bacon-wrapped chicken) and linguica n’arela (sausage yucca meal) to glazed pineapple, there are plenty of delicious dishes to choose from.Ĭan’t make this month’s event?
