April 22 to May 14, 2023 -
Rachel Ehlin-Smith is a fiber artist living and working in San Diego, California. Her work mainly consists of natural materials like silk, horse hair, alpaca (wool) and locally foraged plants and flowers.
When asked where she forages her plants, Rachel smiles and says, “I have all of these spots all over my neighborhood that I know of that drop really great flowers that make amazing dye plants. So I go on a lot of strolls picking plants off the ground”.
Not only does she forage for flowers in her Little Italy neighborhood, Rachel also keeps her wool source local too. It comes directly from her very own alpaca, Poppy, whom Rachel boards at an alpaca farm in North County and visits often.

How Nature Works -
A solo exhibition with Christopher Wassell -
March 4 to April 2, 2023 -
Opening reception Saturday, March 4th, 6 to 9 pm
“These paintings are part of a larger work in progress, ongoing for several years now, about the mysterious inner workings of Nature in the face of Humankind’s feeble attempts to contain and control it.
In this timeless struggle for dominance, though geometry is weaponized and boundaries are sanctioned, humans are no match for Nature.
Inevitably, infrastructure will crumble, entropy takes hold and we are served the poetic justice of Wabi-Sabi.”
From the Archives
These next few weeks will be spent shining the spotlight on some our past exhibiting artists and their eye-catching work that remains in the Trash Lamb collection.
This is your chance to see some of our epic online catalog, in real life! Some of these pieces have never been on the walls before, so don’t miss out if you’re local.
We’ll be back to our usual, UNUSUAL schedule of curated exhibitions in March. Please sign up for the email list if you’d like to stay current on gallery happenings and calls for art (scroll to the bottom of the page to sign up).

MUTUAL CHAOS -
The proverbial champagne bottle being smashed upon the gallery’s bow.
A no-theme, group exhibition that features some of my very own personal favorite artists. Style, medium, year created, etc. - Anything goes and everything is on this table for this one.
The name, Mutual Chaos, pays homage to the free form of the exhibition itself, the overall wild abandon that comes with suddenly opening a small business during a global pandemic, the uncertainty of 2020 as a whole, and the camaraderie of coming together that has & will continue to be necessary to survive -
