CE Fine Arts in Orinda's Theatre District is inviting the community to meet the artists who are now showing their work in the gallery as part of the new exhibit, "Arrivals," which is open through Feb. 19. The virtual Open House is scheduled at 5 p.m. Dec. 12. This will be a unique opportunity to ask the featured artists - Karen Frey, Peeta Tinay, Aaron Webb and Christian Ehrhorn - questions about their artwork and their process.
Frey works in watercolor and encaustic. Her masterful paintings in both mediums depict intimate still life moments, sweeping landscapes, and bustling urban scenes.
Tinay is a basket weaver whose large scale baskets are unique in their size and multi-color finishes. Her bold constructions are often dyed, weathered, and wax finished resulting in stunning pieces that may be used and/or displayed.
Webb creates deep meaningful paintings utilizing dyes, paint, cold wax, and texturing elements such as salt. His work explores the reactivity between materials as a reflection of his own method of processing personal experience, emotional response, and surviving trauma.
Ehrhorn's most recent compositions explore depictions of place through the often fragmented and hazy residuals of memory. His oil paintings prompt the viewer to recognize their own experiences by hunting for figurative elements within his paintings.
CE Fine Arts wishes to safeguard gallery staff and visitors during the time of COVID-19. Everyone visiting the gallery is required to wear a face mask and maintain social distancing by keeping at least six feet apart and the gallery has hand sanitizer for guests to use when entering the gallery.

Gallery hours are Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. and private gallery tours are also welcome.
