When viewed up close, the parts of our lives may seem fragmented, but they add up to a cohesive whole. Viewed at a distance, such as time – the image it comes into focus. The ripples of distortion are quieted. Our fragmentation is healed.
When contemplating our individual circumstances, or humanity as a whole - whether examined through the allegorical lens of mythology, or distilling concrete, personal memories, trading movement and stillness like water reflections - we return to a place of unity.
Whichever our passage, we arrive at the same truth: We are not the tree – we are the forest.
Exhibition Dates: January 6th - January 31st, 2021.

“Where We Were….
There is definitely an evolutionary process to being an artist. Somewhere along the line, we each picked up a camera and started taking photos of what we each thought was interesting. With each photograph we learned what we enjoyed and practiced our techniques, especially in Street Photography. With each day spent in our darkrooms, we learned the excitement of developing those photographs, as well as the art of manipulation. Eventually, we took our photographs and started manipulating them on the computer.
Our abstracts were created, and another step in the evolution process was embraced. From using our photographs, to creating an abstraction from scratch was a logical progression. With the vast array of computer art software, we have evolved from ‘where we were’, to ‘where we are’. For each of us the evolution of our abstract images" - Cheryl Hrudka & Stan Johnson

Martha Stevens
Martha Stevens has worked in a variety of art forms - paint, dance, theatre, education and is an award winning storyteller. For many years, she told traditional mythologies, folk and fairy tales in schools, universities, museums, prisons, and traveled to various countries telling and collecting stories. Here in Los Angeles, she was a performer with Music Center on Tour and was Workshop leader for the Music Center's Education Division. She also was invited as guest speaker to UCLA, CSUDH, CSUN, UCSF, USC, Loyola Marymount and to various Conferences around the state. She was awarded grants from the California Arts Council, FEMA, CMLEA and a FOF Grant from Denmark.
Martha started out as a painter. Her work caught some attention and encouragement for its originality. She showed in various galleries, but when she was given a grant to work in schools, she took it. That led to a long, unlooked for but successful career as Storyteller and less time to paint. Now, off the road, she is happily returning to paint.
She is a member of Los Angeles Art Assoc.

Cheryl Hrudka
