Art from the Heart

Celebrate your Valentines weekend with an artist who truly speaks from the heart. Please join us Saturday February 15th from 7-10pm for opening night for modern multi-media artist, Barbara Marker’s exhibit “Art from the Heart.” German born artist, Barbara Marker, always knew in her heart that she wanted to be an artist. After winning an art scholarship, she continued to develop herself by attending art schools in New York, Iowa, and San Diego. She has completed most of her artwork since the 70’s here in San Diego.

Her highly imaginative artwork of the fantasy realm is an evocative showcase of classic fantasy icons such as fairies, mermaids, and unicorns. She is also known for her animal portraits which clearly convey human emotion as expressed through a new perspective. Barbara has also made a name for herself in the comic book world, and has colored cover art for DC Comics, Eclipse Comics, and Dark Horse Comics and various others. She has also featured her work in the “Artist Alley” at the San Diego Comic Convention, Artist's Alley at Wondercon and Comic-Fest.


For more information about Barbara Marker and her artwork, check out her website at www.barbaramarkerartist.com .

Havilah Rand and Scott Samuels Saturday Aug 3rd 7pm ArtLab Studios

 
Havilah Rand
Began her music career at the age of 6 when she began composing songs on an old piano given to her family by some friends. Heavily influenced early on by James Taylor, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Rolling Stones, The Police and a wide range of other styles, Havilah's songs immediately took on an identity of their own. Havilah's soulful and passionate vocal style would lead her to Interlochen Arts Academy and then on to Manhattan School of Music where she would train formally in both jazz and classical technique. Songwriting remained her true love and she soon left New York City for Seattle where she fronted pop-rock band Wish before picking up the guitar and moving on to a solo career of touring and recording. Havilah's first three albums were recorded in the Pacific Northwest where she fell into a tight knit community of artists and musicians. After a years of touring regionally and nationally for over a decade, Havilah moved to Europe in 2006 where she was warmly welcomed in Ireland, the UK and Mediterranean. She departed Barcelona wistfully in 2007 to relocate to the Live Music Capital of the World Austin, TX where she now lives. She has earned herself a steady audience and a respected name in a town where the caliber of musicianship is nothing less than stellar. "A High Wave" is a compilation of original songs inspired by a life of walking the road less traveled and expressing the deepest of thought and emotion through music.

Scott Samuels - Solo Acoustic Powerpop
A 25-year veteran of San Diego’s rock music scene, and a nationally recognized power-pop songwriter, former Roxy Monoxide front man Scott Samuels is a rock and roll survivor with lots of stories to tell.  Samuels’ love for rock and roll’s “hidden treasure”, and his unique ability to recount the quirkiest milestones of life, love and career, has fueled his songwriting and performances.  As SLAMM Magazine once said, he definitely “knows his way around a pop hook” – and back again.  His simple, honest and unpretentious vocal style has drawn comparisons to Dave Pirner of Soul Asylum and Elvis Costello, among others. Samuels is now mining the rich history of his musical past and present with his first solo release, “Great Big World”, and acoustic performances throughout the country

Vice Squad of Passion Opening Saturday March 23rd 7pm at ArtLab Studios

Most of Marilyn's work has grown out of a reaction to minimalism and conceptualism. Robert Ryman and Allen Ruppersberg are two very strong influences on my work. Also, Andy Warhol’s appropriation of common household objects also influenced my decision to interpret newspapers as art objects. What I have done is invert his process. Instead of making multiples, I take a mass produced object and make a singular work of art influenced by it. My work is holistic since it has an emphasis on craft and technique along with a strong conceptual impulse in an attempt to move the emotions of others. In other words, my work deliberately has mind, body and soul aspects and is meant to engage viewers beyond their visual sensations or intellectual needs. Drawing is the most primal form of my expression and easily the most deeply integral to my creative process. Drawing is as vital & as necessary as breathing. Drawing in pen & ink is the tightrope of art. It can work or it can be a colossal mess. I have come to savor the unintentional blotches and smears as vital to the final visual image. Ink reminds me to find a way to work with every possibility.

The work currently being shown includes many pieces never seen before in San Diego County from two different series. One series is called, "An Exhortation to Passion". The works are meant to galvanize a person into loving with all of their energy, thereby inspiring others not to take things for granted. These works are primarily done with oil paint, fabric and found objects on canvas
