The Moraga Art Gallery is offering a "Summer Virtual Tour" of the exhibit "Dark and Light, A Delicate Balance," which features the work of member artists Irene Needoba and Mary Leigh Miller and is available to view through Oct. 10 on the Moraga Art Gallery website.
Irene Needoba, works with oils, resin and mixed media. In this series of paintings, she seeks to bring attention to the role we have in our environment. Her paintings reflect climate change, pollution within the ocean and fires that result from extreme changes in weather.
Mary Leigh Miller works in clay. Her work in this exhibit explores our inner selves through a series of masks and everyday objects, and the outer reality of our intimate surroundings captured in a grouping of garden totems.
In addition the gallery is featuring the jewelry and encaustic paintings of guest artist, Claudette McDermott.
