Ruth Bolduan has deep connections to Pacific Grove where she was part of a group of artists connected to the Anton Inn, for over 10 years. Her work in this show is based on earlier work shown at the Inn where the sea, Chinoiserie, Monterey, and Paris are fused together to create an evocation of shimmering evanescence, an embodiment of the hidden and the revealed in art. Bolduan has shown at various art spaces on the peninsula and has had a solo exhibition with the Monterey History and Art Association. She is a Professor Emerita of art at Virginia Commonwealth University, and resides in Richmond, VA. Recent travel to Paris, Beijing and Shanghai has confirmed her desire to place the riches and complexities of these ancient cultures at the heart of her work.
Sponsored by the Pacific Grove Library Friends and Foundation, the Whitney Latham-Lechich Trust, the Jean Laws Fund, and Celadon Arts, Texture: Proof of Presence, plans to bring a diverse group of visitors including students from the elementary as well as high school, adults and seniors—locals and visitors from all over. During its three-month run, there will be weekly events open to the public including a guest reception, poetry readings, talks, workshops, and demonstrations.
