SUMMARY:MARIE THIBEAULT: Artist Talk and Guided Walkthrough with guest Mirabel Wigon
DESCRIPTION:  \nMARIE THIBEAULT: Artist Talk and Guided Walkthrough with Guest Mirabel Wigon\nSaturday\, April 4\, 1-3pm \n  \n  \nAs part of The Radiant Rupture exhibition at Palos Verdes Art Center\, Mirabel Wigon and Marie Thibeault discuss the range of works in the show\, the language of painting\, and the landscape as a subject. The conversation reflects a long-standing dialogue between the artists\, developed over many years. \nMirabel Wigon is a California-based artist whose work of flowering plants reflects on the intermingling and entangling relationships in the natural world. Wigon’s work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions both regionally and nationally. Her work is a part of the UC Davis Health Collection and Provost Collection at CSULB. She is currently Assistant Professor of Art at California State University\, Stanislaus\, where she teaches drawing and painting. \nOver more than four decades\, Marie Thibeault’s studio practice has been devoted to examining landscapes shaped by environmental strain. Her large-scale paintings fuse a complex abstract vocabulary with references to sites transformed by climate-related trauma. These compositions suggest conditions of rupture and instability\, yet are held in suspension within luminous\, atmospheric fields of color. Thibeault paints to bear witness and to cultivate empathy\, making visible our deep interconnectedness with the natural world. Her work\, poised between rupture and resilience\, evokes the fragile equilibrium that defines this moment. \nThibeault received her MFA from UC Berkeley and is Professor Emerita at California State University\, Long Beach. Her works have been exhibited across the United States and abroad in cities such as London\, Tokyo\, Seoul\, and Düsseldorf\, and are in the public collections of the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento\, CA\, and the Oakland Museum of California in Oakland\, CA\, among others. Thibeault’s work has been reviewed in multiple publications\, including L.A. Weekly\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, Artillery Magazine\, the Los Angeles Times\, and Art in America. \nSee Marie’s PVAC exhibition online at theradiantrupture.org.

SUMMARY:Karena Massengill: REVERBERATIONS Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Karena Massengill: REVERBERATIONS\nMay 1 – July 2\, 2026 \nOpening Reception: June 6\, 6-9 pm \nMy work usually begins with a drawing I create while attempting to engage my subconscious\, accessing visceral\, instinctive and emotional ideas. I often salute specific people and accomplishments\, abstractly presenting them from a vocabulary of lines in steel. \nFrom a drawing on watercolor paper\, I “draw” in steel using the drawing as a pattern upon which I subsequently weld the sculpture\, and witness the controlled destruction of the image\, using a spray bottle to prevent too much burn damage! \nThe burned drawing becomes a reverberant reincarnation of the steel to use as a painting canvas to further explore the concept in color or monochromatically. When shown together they tell a story of evolution\, spiritual discovery and self-reflection. \nThe culture and landscape in different countries often give me ideas to revisit. The architecture of Japan and their love and respect for nature\, and spending time with the Maasai\, Kikuyu\, and Samburu tribes\, and wild animals in their natural habitat in Africa led me to create works derived from those experiences. \nThe people least responsible for climate change are suffering the most with their lifestyle and culture forced to change in order to survive. Some of my works are meant to give accolades and respect to their unique and very special relationships with nature\, presenting them from a vocabulary of lines in steel. \nKARENA MASSENGILL

SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Karena Massengill
DESCRIPTION:ARTIST TALK: Karena Massengill\nModerated by Melina Paris \nSaturday\, June 20\, 1 – 3pm \nArtist Karena Massengill works in both two and three dimensions\, often beginning with a drawing on watercolor paper that becomes the pattern for a steel sculpture. As she traces the design with metal\, the heat of the welding scorches the original image on paper. Out of this deliberate destruction emerges something new — a color-rich impression that reframes and deepens the original concept. Shown together\, the burned drawing and the sculpture it inspired trace a journey of evolution\, spiritual discovery\, and self-reflection. \nMelina Paris is an accomplished arts journalist\, podcast producer\, and cultural advocate. For more than a decade\, she has illuminated the artistic landscape of Los Angeles\, particularly focusing on the Harbor area. Through in-depth interviews and compelling narratives with artists of many mediums\, she delves into their creative processes\, often examining themes of social justice and environmental consciousness.
