Spring Wrap Up: Art in the Maurice Del Mue Galleries

As the Visual Arts Coordinator of the San Geronimo Valley Community Center I organize usually two solo exhibits or one group show every month.

For a variety of reasons, I’ve been remiss on posting any of the exhibits from the last few months.

Here’s a sort of quick sampling of some of the work that passed through the doors this last spring.

Harry Cohen and Friends:

Ninety-two year old Abstract Expressionist, Harry Cohen, got together with a few of his talented friends for this February show.

I recommend having a ventriloquist in attendance at all art openings.

Artists participating in this show included Michael Killen, Jo Killen, Skip Henderson, Beth Pewter, Leonard Breger, Brian Carter, Peter Strindberg, Odis Schmidt, Bruce Burtch, Fred Holle, Karen Worth, Jack Kamesar and Lars Johnson.

Impressive large piece by the late Leonard Breger.

 Two works by painter Michael Killen.

Beautifully crafted work by Odis Schmidt
