Paintings by Beatrix Rohlsen
Beatrix Rohlsen
"Passionate Trees" |
A native of Austria, raised in Germany, Beatrix Rohlsen now lives in the mountains above Santa Barbara. An abstract painter, her “atmospheric landscapes” reflect nature’s ever-changing and diverse landscapes through an abstract array of color, light and design. “My greatest teacher as a child was the natural world around me,” Rohlsen says. “Therefore, as an adult, I found myself incorporating the essence of nature throughout most of my paintings.” |
Rohlsen’s paintings will be presented as part of an ongoing
“Foyer Focus” series, at the entry to the Center.

San Francisco artist Kirsten Muenster creates wearable landscapes inspired by nature and its signals of growth, rebirth and change. The Japanese refer to the observation and appreciation for the cycle of life as wabi-sabi. This simple aesthetic, embracing the beauty in imperfection and the elimination of the non-essential, is a guiding principle in the artist’s work. Similarly, the artist is guided by a love of the natural world. “I am drawn to the rich diversity of colors and patterns in the stones I use,” Muenster explains. “I love exploring rock formations, fossils, tree rings, fractals and nature's simplicity expressed in its irregular lines and shapes.” |

Southern California songwriter William Barnhill will be performing
on the patio during the Saturday event.
His “Blues Fusion” sound is no doubt a reflection of his early years spent in Memphis, Tennessee writing songs and playing with local musicians. An interesting blend of acoustic guitar, blues rhythms and lyrical interpretations of current events, his original music is soulful and poetic as well as lively and upbeat. Barnhill has written and recorded the sound score for the feature-length, environmental, animated screenplay Children of the Morning Sun. His current album project, Better Late Than Never, shows his maturity as a songwriter and musician. His melodies and lyrics elicit feelings from deep reflection to exuberance as heard in his new single Happy Times. |

Featuring work in an expansive array of media and approaches, mirroring the manner in which we live in a world full of different points of view and languages, yet are united in our desire for beauty and communication. Each artist exhibits one work, which will be juxtaposed with works by others to create a series of dialogues. In presenting One Work/One World, the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts seeks to think globally and act locally in promoting a sense of unity, vision and beauty in the world.
