(un)Natural at the di Rosa Preserve

The di Rosa Preserve is just a few miles west of downtown Napa, but feels like a world apart.

The current exhibit at the Gatehouse features works by artists responding to nature in natural and unnatural ways. Some of the 7 artists have their senses of humor firmly intact as they created detailed paper towel art, silver toy-sized art of mis-matched animal body parts, and entire dioramas showing our bountiful earth replete with re-used tennis balls.

Image shown is artwork by Lucrecia Troncoso.

I especially liked Jessica Cadkin's flock of birds and Tara Tucker's intricate pencil drawings, but that's just me. There's something in the Gatehouse for everyone, so take a break Wednesday through Friday 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and check it out. The (un)Natural exhibit closes June 13.
