AVA Pop-Up Space 80 11th St. (above Coldwater Skate & Surf Shop) Presenting artist Eryn Tomlinson, a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design. Tomlinson began painting as a figurative painter, but after taking a class on meditation and Buddhism, she switched to abstraction and was able to approach painting as meditation. Gaining inspiration from the detail and intricacies of Tibetan and Buddhist art, she started making Mandalas, first in pencil, then filling all the separate shapes with color.

Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Presenting the powerful work of April Coppini, bringing a sublime collection of gorgeous charcoal drawings. Cop- pini depicts the beauty of creatures large and small, bravely bringing her own experience of life and death, “sometimes excruciating and inde- scribable and sometimes soft, tender — almost magical. Death, after all, is just the other side of birth and is so much like one.” 77 11th St. Food Fetish art show — food-related art installments curated by Joi Smith COURTESY ASTORIA VISUAL ARTS A work of abstract art by Eryn Tomlinson, now at Astoria Vi- sual Arts 2 Continued on Page 15 COURTESY LUMINARI ARTS A cast clay hanging by JeanneDana at Luminari Arts V N 4 5 May 2 12 15 1 3 6 7 5-8 pm 8 9 10 11 12 13 “Fox Teeth” by April Coppini, now at Imogen Gallery 14 6 COURTESY MCVARISH GALLERY COURTESY IMOGEN GALLERY “Hub,” a watercolor by Lisa Kaser, on display at McVarish Gallery
