Timothy McSweeney<\/strong>\u2014<\/p>\n

“I’ve been creating serigraph prints on paper, fabric wood
\nglass, metal and plastic for many years and I am always constantly
\nlearning technically and creatively. With my father being an engineer
\nand my mother a pre-school teacher this left me with the perfect
\ndisposition to slide right into this quirky medium. There’s something
\noddly technical, yet rhythmic about serigraphy that draws me back
\nconstantly. Influences on my work range from unicorns and bunny rabbits
\nto ancient Haida and Achomawi legends and everything in between.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cass Hersey<\/strong>\u2014<\/p>\n

“My work speaks directly to my interests in type design,
\nscientific illustration, graffiti, and the natural world. I blame my
\nartist\/designer parents for this, who raised us in the bucolic Marin
\nCounty in a house full of what an art theory text would call ‘found
\nart’. Once I was old enough to drive, I began exploring the rest of the
\nBay Area, falling in love with the grittiest parts of San Francisco. As
\nI settle into adulthood, my work seeks to discuss the relationship
\nbetween the intensity of pristine nature and the intensity of the urban
\nepicenter. Animal imagery, children’s books, and the enthralling lost
\nart of hand lettering are other obsessions of mine.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Please join the good peeps of Boomerang in welcoming these exciting young artists into the
\nPetaluma art scene.<\/p>\n

The show runs from June 19th until July 9th.
\nArtists reception Friday June 19th from 7 until 9 PM.<\/p>\n

Boomerang Gallery\/Heebejeebe is located at:
\n46 Kentucky St in Petaluma.<\/p>\n
