“Drawing makes me happy. It is like, anything can happen. I get  an idea
and begin to draw it, like someone walking on clouds or  who  is smaller
than a flower. Phoebe Washer was my biggest influence. We would  sit and
paint together and just by watching her I learned  a lot.”

This is the artists statement by Stella Brown,  the  extraordinary young
lady whose work will  be  featured  in  her  first  solo  show  “…that
nothing walks with aimless feet..” at Boomerang Gallery.  At  the age of
ten, Stella is a veteran of numerous group shows  here.  Her  works have
been  displayed  and  sold  alongside  the works  of many   other, older
artists. She has been drawing and painting  for most  of  her  life, but
her work really blossomed when the late Phoebe Washer  began  to babysit
and mentor Stella and her younger brother Tiger.  They  would  paint and
draw together  for hours  and both  kids  were  put  on  a path  that we
believe will lead to a life filled with art.  We would  like  to present
“…that nothing walks with aimless feet..”. The  first  of what  we are
sure to be many solo shows by Stella  Bloom  Brown,  featuring  works on
paper and wood as well as kokeshi dolls that were  made  and  painted by
Stella.

The show will run from March 28th until April 26th. Please  join  us for
an artists reception Saturday March 28th from 7 until 9 PM.

Boomerang Gallery/Heebejeebe is located at 46 Kentucky  St in  Petaluma.
