Los Altos Hills artist and psychologist Dr. Sheila Adams Hart invites residents to an exhibition of her artwork, along with the works of other artists and musicians. The event is scheduled for 3-7 p.m., Saturday, at her home, 24001 Oak Knoll Drive.
Hart plans to showcase 60 pieces of her painting, sculpture and photography. And, in the spirit of the 1960s-era happenings, she wants visitors to create something themselves.
In the spirit of “celebrating the creativity in all of us,” Hart is taking the “open studios” concept to a new dimension by inviting local residents and art enthusiasts to create one massive sculpture together, using several 50-foot lengths of heavy copper coil.
Hart is known for her energy-charged, large-scale sculptures and paintings. She is founder of artrevelations.com, which offers original art, corporate installations and creativity workshops.
Hart’s gym-sized copper mobile called “Love” will be displayed on the tennis court, among other large pieces (wear sneakers, please), and is her conception of the symbolic continuum of spiritual connection.
“Love is a timeless, universal resource we can all feel, understand, believe in and share,” Hart said. “The power of love and creativity in each of us is as immense as our need to be connected.”
On Saturday, Hart said she plans to use her creativity in interpersonal ways, by generating insight and self-discovery through spontaneous innovative teamwork.
“People grow through supportive permission to unleash their unique creativity, and amazing things can happen when we work together,” she said.
Live musicians at the event will include a saxophonist in the driveway near a huge sculpture, called “Twin Towers,” created soon after the Sept. 11 tragedy.
Violinists will provide background music for the tour of paintings by DeAnn Acton, Melis White and the photography of Michael Franzoia. On the grounds, overlooking the court, Hart’s son Ben Averch of Baverch Force will play guitar and sing original songs.
Admission is $10 at the gate. For more information, call 941-0987, e-mail
