Branching Out < Back Previous Terry Holzgreen Branching Out Straying away from traditional notions of woodworking, cabinetmaker and self-taught artist Terry Holzgreen, creates both functional and sculptural wooden works. His works are a visual compilation of the uniqueness and variety of lumber. Wood fragments from different tree species are arranged into a multitude of shapes, turning into a collage of texture, form, and natural wood color. Pieces and fragments are sourced from both scraps and found material. These assemblages are presented in various formats: cubes, spheres, vessels, wall works, each retaining this pieced-together quality. Holzgreen’s process derives from his background in carpentry and a fluke idea in which he created a small hollow cube and then attached thin cuts of wood pieces into a grid pattern along the cube’s surface. Holzgreen sees the reuse of these fragments and materials as a way of refining and showcasing the natural beauty of the material. This idea of improvisation and experimentation still resonates in his practice today. Next

< Back Reforged Identities Jewel Box Gina Herrera Driven by a deep commitment to environmental justice, artist Gina Herrera infuses her work with spiritual and aesthetic rituals that pay homage to Mother Earth. Using repurposed and salvaged materials — including military insignia and everyday domestic objects — she crafts assemblage sculptures that juxtapose organic, human-like forms, industrial materials, and mystical elements. Shaped by her Native American heritage, military service, and eco-conscious perspective, Herrera’s diverse experiences come together in a practice that is both thought-provoking and deeply connected to the world around her. Sculptures such as The Mighty Grasshopper, 2024, exemplify Herrera’s distinctive artistic practice and technique. Like many of her works, it is comprised of found objects, plasma-cut and powder coated metal, and ceramic molds taken from her own body. The piece reflects the diverse influences and her own personal exploration of identity and beliefs, encouraging contemplation, and deep social and spiritual engagement. Previous Next

< Back Before You Now Capturing the Self in Portraiture The Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH) is pleased to announce their latest exhibition Before You Now: Capturing the Self in Portraiture. The exhibition will be on view at MOAH from Saturday, January 25 to Sunday April 13, 2025. The opening reception for the exhibition will be held on Saturday, January 25 from 2 to 4 PM. Before You Now: Capturing the Self in Portraiture focuses on the enduring theme of the artist’s self-portrait, as seen in a selection of photographs, prints, drawings, and video art from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The exhibition is an introduction to seeing artists as they see themselves – or as they want to be seen by their publics. Organized into seven categorical themes – Claiming, Crafting, Clowning, Convening, Conceptualizing, Camouflaging, and Concluding, the images in the exhibition showcase these artists’ fascination with self-portraiture and its ability to communicate an autobiographical narrative. This exhibition was organized by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in collaboration with the Riverside Art Museum, California State University, Northridge, Art Galleries; Lancaster Museum of Art and History; and Vincent Price Art Museum at East Los Angeles College. Local Access is a series of American art exhibitions created through a multi-year, multi-institutional partnership formed by LACMA as part of the Art Bridges Cohort Program.

back to list MamaWisdom Born on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, Nikila is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist, designer, and performer inspired by an earth-based wisdom of Roots and Culture. Mother and community organizer, her work as an advocate for youth, indigenous, and environmental rights has played an influential role within shaping her foundation as a "Cultural Community Artist". Born into Pacific Islander, First Nations, and European lineages, to the raw street smarts of the Bay Area’s inner cities, it has been the cultural richness, as well as the systemic issues of her background, that have led Nikila to explore the arts as a foundation for educational reform and decolonization. In turn, she has helped develop youth arts curriculum and programs for a number of organizations. As a painter and muralist, her art weaves underlying stories, traditions, and elements of the sacred indigenous with modern influences of the urban underground, and is guided by a maternal connection to the natural wisdom of the Earth; Thus birthing the art alias "MamaWisdom".
