Such a fine moonscape curated by Karrie Ross at FM Gallery.
This multi-artist show, My Own Private Moon, combines individual artist visions of the moon into a phases of the moon exhibition that is poetically beautiful.

“The Moon theme was suggested to me about a year ago…the connection I had with water, the moon, science interaction, global warming, axes changes, and the human element spurred me on and extended my vision,” Ross says.
Her focus was to create a traveling show and she has ideas for just such an event planned. But for now, through the 26th of September, the moon is in the heavens of Los Angeles.

“The artists were specially selected for their diversity of style and medium, therefore the title of My Own Private Moon,” Ross says. “The artists had complete freedom other than the fact that the moon had to be the most dominant. Each artist chose a phase and then were invited to also create a full moon.”
A catalog of the images and artists statement connections with the Moon are available on Amazon.
