Based in Ashland, Oregon Anahata is continually inspired to bounce between her life as an artist, mother, entrepreneur, traveler and boutique-maker. The facets of Anahata’s professional and personal life merge together in what she likes to call, “Creative Abandon”.

With this material he redefines recycling as reincarnation, repurposing over 10,000 recycled water bottles to create chandeliers and rooms filled with a spiritual aura.

When describing reductive works, using the term “LESS IS MORE” is sometimes saying too much. LESS is all that is needed. Thus the title of this show. Keira Kotler’s paintings done on acrylic sheets using slow drying urethane and varnishes, shimmer like transparent liquid metal illusions, while Martin Rosol’s elegant optical glass sculptures define what the purity of minimalism is all about. This show will open on August 6 and run through September 30, 2013.
