The Cannon Beach Gallery is proud to present “Emerging from the Deep” an exhibition featuring sculpture by M.J Anderson and paintings by Pam Greene. Ancient coral reefs and bones from ocean creatures accumulated over a millennium on the bottom of changing seas. With geological shifts and the weight of time, these deposits were highly compressed under extreme heat and pressure and thrust upward into marble mountains. Artist M.J. Anderson travels to quarries in Carrara, Italy to harvest these geological wonders. In this exhibition Anderson will feature female figures and mermaids she found slumbering deep in the stone. The sculptures reflect the artists love and respect for inner beauty, strength, and resilience of women through-out time. Pam Greene’s vibrant paintings capture the magnitude of tidal force. Each canvas is hypnotic, holding within them spectacular days of shoreward surge. Aqua and mint waves, gray skies, and precious moments of turquoise, emerald, sapphire, and gold are all captured with palpable veracity in this collection of paintings. This exhibition will be on view at the Cannon Beach Gallery from July 27 – August 28, 2022. Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, August 6th from 4:30 to 6:30 PM
