Phyllis Shafer stops by Stremmel Gallery to chat about her latests exhibition, Under One Sky. This is the first installment of her video chats. In this video, Phyllis discusses the making of “Sneezeweed Symphony,” and what was “bugging” her while she was painting in the field.

Stremmel Gallery proudly presents “Beneath On Sky,” displaying on location from October 10 through November 9, 2013. This exhibition of new paintings catalogs Shafer’s observations of the Sierra Nevada Mountains – from Yosemite to Lake Tahoe. “Beneath One Sky” is the fifth solo exhibition for Shafer at Stremmel Gallery. Approximately 40 pieces will be included in the show, ranging in sizes from 8 by 10 inches to 24 x 36 inches. “Beneath One Sky” serves as the preamble to the Nevada Museum of Art’s (NMA) February 2014 exhibition for the artist.
