Place, Story, Vision Two viewpoints-7 Corner Gallery Aug 2024.1.jpeg

             The Anderson Valley artist couple, Marvin and Colleen Schenck, will present their unique views of realism and fantasy during August in the front windows of Ukiah’s Corner Gallery. Working in collage, painting, printmaking, and drawing, they create images from views on scenic daily walks to flights of fantasy inspired from discarded media images and found objects.

             

             Sharing a large studio in their 1913 barn, they each have their own area to explore image and technique. They enjoy being able to get reactions from the other on new pieces in process. Once a year they participate in the Anderson Valley Open Studio Tour.

Colleen’s two-dimensional works include her imaginative mixed media photo collages and her larger, colored pencil drawings. Her delicate realist finesse in that media is reminiscent of her craftsman touch in another art passion, creating jewelry, which she sells at Partner’s Gallery in Mendocino.

             

              Marvin’s main art subject is the landscape. He enjoys the variety of views available in Mendocino County. His colorful acrylic and watercolor works employ a lively expressionist point of view seeking the sole of nature in the scene. His love of color sometimes bursts out as a series of bright abstract images featuring repeating marks or pattern. If you look hard, you will probably find a landscape hiding there. Also imaginative, are his story collage series that span themes of fantasy, political history, and the lives of his ancestors.
