Art Access Gallery is pleased to announce its September exhibit, Hortus Conclusus or The Enclosed Garden featuring the noted Christensen family of artists: James C. Christensen and his daughters, Cassandra C. Barney and Emily C. McPhie. The Artists' Reception will take place on Friday, September 18 from 6:00pm-9:00pm, during the September Gallery Stroll. This family of artists do not normally show their work together. For this particular show, however, all will create original art designed to interpret the theme of an enclosed garden, representing their own ideas of 'Paradise' ? a protected and nurtured space in which ideas and people, like plants and flowers, can flourish. The idea of a controlled safe place can represent the family, the community or even the space in one's own mind. According to James Christensen, the traditional design of a walled garden, split into four quarters separated by paths and a wellhead or pool at the center, dates back to the earliest gardens of Persia. The enclosed garden of High Medieval Europe was more typically enclosed by hedges or fencing. On a lighter note, Christensen is enjoying this collaboration with his daughters, who have now developed their own reputations as artists. He jokingly says, 'I can no longer tell them what to do!'
