Second-Floor Valley Oak Gallery
The California Nature Art Museum is pleased to announce its upcoming 2024 summer exhibition, California, Quilted: Wild in the Oak Woodland, on view from July 14, 2024 – January 13, 2025, featuring new and recent works by artist Julia Laraway.
From butterflies to bullfrogs to bobcats, Oak Woodland habitats support thousands of animal species all over California. Inhabitants might find shelter in the open grasslands between trees, scattered shrubs, fallen logs, streams, and tree canopies. The wonders of this important habitat – its creatures, colors, and lines of the land – all inspire Julia Laraway’s collection of fabric collages and quilts featuring flora and fauna of the coastal oak woodland.

First Floor Main Gallery
The California Nature Art Museum is pleased to announce its forthcoming exhibition, A Deeper Love: New Paintings Inspired by Coral Reefs, coming September 2024, featuring new work by artists Nansi Bielanski Gallup and David Gallup.
A Deeper Love will offer a thoughtful artistic examination of the life, sub-marine landscape, and human interaction with coral reef ecosystems. While deepwater corals may be found in virtually every part of every ocean in the world, tropical coral reefs have the most powerful impact on human existence. It is estimated that up to one billion people rely on tropical coral reefs for food and income.
