It’s a welcoming stop — whether you are simply strolling the Plaza and want to see the beauty of our local art, looking for that perfect and unique present for an upcoming anniversary, or just wanting to chat up the artist who is behind the counter Carlin’s paintings fluctuate between realism and abstraction, using bold brushstrokes to create delicate or elegant images. “Nature holds limitless wonder and abstraction”, she says. “I am fascinated by the patterns on water that occur when light and shadow hit the surface. To capture the essence of how nature feels is always a goal”.When choosing a palette she tries to tap into how she’s feeling in her personal life. The colors in this new body of work are deep and dark. Moody. “But”, she adds, “moody in the sense of feeling calm and grounded”.When Shea moved here from Minneapolis, he also moved from architectural photography to wood sculpture. He found beauty in salvaged wood scraps from construction sites — and learned how to bring wood that was headed to the landfill back to life. From a barn in Bayside he has spent the last 15 years creating unique furniture, sculpture, wall art, bowls and platters.He works spontaneously by responding to the characteristics of the particular piece of wood. Of one piece in the upcoming show he said, “My friend gave me this hunk of drift redwood, thinking I might enjoy working with it…..I carved this face into it.”He uses a variety of hand and power tools, again, depending on what each piece of wood calls for — but, he notes, never a lathe!Carlin and Shea’s exhibit will be up from September 7 until October 4. The gallery is open every day, 10 am until 6 pm, on the west side of the Arcata Plaza.</blockquote><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1cGGkL_1EuXcrVK00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1cGGkL_1EuXcrVK00" width="382" height="640" ><figcaption>Zack Shea, artist.
