Sullivan Goss Gallery presents new work by acclaimed local artist Phoebe Brunner<\/a> in her\u00a0second solo exhibition for the gallery, titled “Breathe.” The show opens April 5, with a 1st Thursday<\/a> reception from 5-8 p.m.<\/p>\n

The gallery describes Brunner’s latest body of vibrant work as “connecting to the earth around us as it regenerates from a long lack of rain. Poppies explode, scattering their seeds to the wind for the next season of flowers. Roads lead through winding hills verdant with fresh grass. Clouds settle in to canyons to coat the hills with moisture. While her views are primarily imaginative, we are drawn to them by sense of memory for a place we have visited or more accurately, the familiarity of worlds we have wandered in our dreams. This remarkable group of paintings reminds us to take a collective breath. Spring is coming, bringing regeneration and a continuation of nature’s endless cycle.”<\/p>\n
