New artwork displayed at the Arts of Bear Valley Window Gallery in Arnold

The Arts of Bear Valley Window Gallery brings a lift of color to the Meadowmont Shopping Center in Arnold. During the month of March, you’ll be able to enjoy and purchase the paintings of Christa Dodd and Deborah Marlene, shown in a window display at the east side of the shopping center.

Dodd looks to nature and travel for her inspiration. She seeks to express how each environment makes her feel through brush strokes and use of color.  She also enjoys painting whimsical animals from Calaveras County, like bears and foxes.

Intense colors dominate Marlene’s paintings of the beauty in nature.  She has lived in the Central Sierra for 28 years, and she is influenced by the natural beauty she finds around her. Her primary medium is watercolor, which she began using 27 years ago.

The Arts of Bear Valley Window Gallery is window space graciously donated by the Meadowmont Shopping Center where Arts of Bear Valley artists exhibit their work to the public. Artwork is for sale; information at the window gallery gives instructions to purchase the artwork, or you can contact Dodds at christakdodd@gmail.com or Marlene at dmarlenek@yahoo.com or www.deborahmarlenes.com to learn more about their work and purchase directly from them.

Arts of Bear Valley is a local association devoted to developing and promoting the visual arts along the Upper Highway 4 corridor in Calaveras and Alpine counties. Learn more about Arts of Bear Valley at www.aobv.com

07:30 PM Let There Be Love by Kwame Kwei-Armah at Murphys Creek Theatre Through April 15
Murphys, CA...Dwight Mahabir stars as misanthropic West Indian Alfred Morris. When Alfred is kicked out of his daughter’s Croydon house, he returns to his Willesden home to find he’s been gifted a caretaker, Maria. Having alienated friends and family, he seems happy to live out his illness-ridden days in the solitude of his West London house. Maria, a struggling but determined Polish immigrant, will have none of it, and the cantankerous and xenophobic Alfred realizes that he may indeed still have a role in life.


Somewhere among the soulful lyrics of Nat King Cole and the mutual struggle of making a life in a foreign city, these flawed humans will find a path to solace from their haunting past.
