The Searching Eye

Curated by Shan Bryan-Hanson

An artist’s eye, metaphorically or literally, is always searching. 

For 60 years, the Peninsula School of Art has made space for artists to embrace this search. It began with the vision of the school’s founder, Madeline Tourtelot, and has grown to become a vibrant tapestry of many voices and perspectives. The artists selected for this exhibition are connected with the school in different ways–as instructors, residents, students, and more– and embody, through their art practice, Tourtelot’s sense of exploration, experimentation and an enduring commitment to individual artistic vision. 

The exhibition title is inspired by Tourtelot’s film, Searching Eye, 1960, which will be screened as part of this exhibition. 

Exhibiting artists include Julie Brogan, Rebecca Carlton, Amy Fichter, Debbie Kupinsky, Diana Noh, Katie Ries, Kristi Roenning, Jodi Rose Gonzales, Madeline Tourtelot, and Stephanie Trenchard.
