with acrylic on wood panels and a collection of hand-painted antique
books that will make up a very special installation.

the debut Los Angeles solo show from Minneapolis based artist Cherri
Wood in our project room along with new works on our ‘Fresh
Faces’ wall from Los Angeles based artist Alex Garcia.

Run Rabbit, Run from Brandi Milne:
Born and raised in Anaheim, California, Brandi Milne always had a love for creativity. Growing up, she was happily influenced by the oddities of the 1970's and 80's, vintage Halloween decorations, classic cartoons and an abundance of nostalgic child playthings. A self taught artist and illustrator, Milne's work represents a melding of many very different genres while embracing beauty and aesthetic over message or propaganda. Milne has shown at numerous galleries throughout California including Corey Helford Gallery, CoproNason, Gallery 1988 LA and SF, and La Luz de Jesus.
Brandi also recently wrote and illustrated her first book, “So Good For Little Bunnies”,
which was published by Baby Tattoo Books. Plans are already underway for her
next book project as well.

opening on Friday, April 10th in our project room:
trouble, clearly from Cherri Wood
Artist Bio:
Cherri Wood is a young illustrator that is based
out of Minnesota. Her watercolor and ink studies explore various
areas of the human psyche such as alienation, childhood idiosyncrasies,
and general psychosis. Each drawing contains quotes and dialog
culled from a plethora of classic plays and short stories helping
to narrate each work in its own special way. She is deeply
influenced by independent films, graphic novels, comic art,
and photography. In the new series of works for trouble, clearly
a variety of methods and mediums were used in the creative
process such as staining patterns created with tea, floral
material, caramel soda, and various juice mixes along with
acrylic paint and india ink. Wood has shown with Andenken Gallery,
Gallery 1988, Project Gallery, O Contemporary/Opus Underground,
and also took part in this past year’s GenArt Vanguard
Fair that took place during Art Basel in Miami, FL. Flickr:
