Venture Gallery's featured 3D artist for July and August is Charlie Kamrath. Charlie creates his art from the burl roots of manzanitas which grow along the coast of Central California. What are burls? Most of us only see the manzanita bush that grows above the soil, but below the soil is a bulbous nodular root called a burl. For his artwork, Charlie only use burls that have been uprooted and pushed out of the soil as a result of clearing for construction, erosion control, or from heavy equipment clearing fire breaks, etc. From these, Charlie creates sculptures and vessels.
We invite you to come by Venture Gallery, open 10am-6pm every day, to see Charlie Kamrath's newest creations. We are located next to Portola Hotel and Spa at 260 Alvarado Street.
