About This Event

CLOUD — A Group Exhibition at Sunborn Studio and Gallery Clouds have always been a source of wonder and daydreams—shifting, drifting, and endlessly transforming no matter where we are in the world. Cloud is a group exhibition that brings together artists who explore the many moods, meanings, and mysteries of clouds. Are clouds soft and literal, or stormy and symbolic? Do they appear as dreamscapes, deities, or portals into fantasy? This exhibition invites artists to interpret clouds through realism, abstraction, and the surreal, revealing how something so familiar can become a vessel for imagination. Join us as we celebrate the infinite ways clouds can inspire, transport, and transform.Where do the clouds take you? Come find out.

Featured Artists

Charmagne Vasquez

artist

Charmagne Vasquez is an artist of contemporary paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Her current works often focus on interconnectedness and humankind’s role within earth’s dynamic biology. The artworks are made spontaneously with traditional and non-traditional media, as Vasquez builds up complex, colorful layers. Viewers experience organic landscapes and menageries. She expresses the tension of daily human occurrences, in parallel to the vast, interconnected web of life. Urban and feral. Civilization and hinterlands. She moves away from paradigms of personifying nature and magical thinking, and toward a curiosity-led perspective of better understanding flora and fauna. A work may contain references to the scientific world, as well as a rock and roll anthem. Having reverence of nature, of which we human animals are a part, is a very major theme. With the building up of each layer, she watchfully responds to emerging forms. Vasquez’s process simultaneously radiates in all directions, with many creative projects cross-pollinating in her Phoenix, AZ studio.

Jennyfer Stratman

Jennyfer Stratman is a sculptor working primarily in cast and fabricated metal.

Stratman grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and in 1997 completed her Fine Art Degree at Arizona State University. Today she is a full-time established artist with studios operating in Phoenix, Arizona and Melbourne, Australia. Her time is divided between the two countries with each location informing and influencing the creative process.
