OXNARD — Beginning May 10, 2022, the Channel Islands Maritime Museum (CIMM) will be presenting its latest exhibition “71% ? Honoring Vital Waters” in its Brenda and Gary Farr Gallery.
“71%: Honoring Vital Waters” is an eclectic, mixed media show of pieces by local artists Shannon Celia and Mary Neville. Through figurative expressionism and colorful abstraction, both Celia and Neville delve into the beauty of our world’s waters, including oceans, freshwater lakes, rivers, swamps, glaciers, and ice caps. 71% examines maritime history and present?day ecology, exploring how maritime factors shape our culture, food, art, and recreation. From the dreamlike salt flats of Badwater Basin to the dark depths of the Mariana Trench, come, witness, how the beauty of our waters shapes our experience on Earth.
By Mary Neville.
