Nancy Gano of San Jose assembles flea market treasures, found objects and discarded furniture parts into sculptural collages that take the unexpected form of angels. Tollhouse, California, sculptor Daniel Hawkins looks to the ancient cultures of the Americas, Egypt and Europe in sculpting clay, wood and stone into medicine women, goddesses and other spiritual and sacred figures. Contemporary Fine Art Festivalgoers will witness the evolution of fine art as it has come to take shape in unusual formats. In her Pleasant Hill studio, Francis Kihanya creates framed works of art using nothing but banana leaves at different stages in their growth, taking advantage of their changing colors to design African-themed images of family activities and wildlife. Brian York of Mountain View creates framed, 3-D wood cutaway constructions of the world's grand monuments and classic ocean liners and trains, portraying their intricate inner workings with miniscule detail based on their original construction plans and blueprints.
Admission is free.
The festival is presented by the non-profit Half Moon Bay Beautification Committee.
