Featuring distinctive work from seven artists over the age of 60, the art exhibit “View from the Hill” is showing at Axis Gallery on S Street in Sacramento through Sunday, Dec. 1.
Curator Joanne Tepper Saffren, whose work is also featured in the show, left it up to the artists to interpret the exhibit’s theme that unites them as older creatives.
“I really want to highlight these other artists whose work is magnificent and really shows what it means to live a creative life and be at this point where we have the freedom to sort of choose what we’re doing,” says Tepper Saffren.
At the age of 64, after a career of graphic design and an invariable desire to return to fine arts, she graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a Master in Fine Arts. She’s noticed a fairly profound change in her own work over time.
