Meier is set to showcase “All Glass,” the new sculpture exhibition by acclaimed artist Larry Bell, “transforming the Mill Valley gallery space as only Bell can. Bell’s work is known for how it often changes the perceptions of the spaces it is exhibited in, as light passes through pieces like box sculptures and glass walls works. The gallery’s abundance of skylights and Marin’s gorgeous variances of sun conditions are an exciting addition to the site-specific nature of Bell’s practice,” Bravo writes.

It was an enjoyable time in Mill Valley. Residents spent time at Mill Valley’s first restaurant, built in 1891: a two-story clapboard building known as the Mill Valley House on Miller Avenue. In addition, it was also one of the town’s first hotels. Owners Jesse and Lotte Bundy were known for their tasty veal stew and berry pies. In addition, the ice cream and lunch parlor were frequented often. In the evenings, silent movies were shown in a hall built with a plank floor. After the movies, the local children would fish for any coins that might have slipped between the boards.

It wasn’t until an off-handed, “oh, duh” comment from her sister – “I can’t believe you haven’t started this sooner, you used to rearrange your room constantly, putting our brother’s Legos and your Barbies on different sides of the room” – that she fully grasped the fact that her calling was there all along.

Bailey’s work is evolving as her bold, saturated abstracts transition to earthy expressionism while using lines and pattern to convey the natural boldness that earth bestows. A common thread throughout her work is the use of shapes derived from the natural world, including fungi, lichens, plants, and geological formations, inspired by her youth in the NY Catskills and her studies in the sciences.
