Palette Art Café and Gallery is honoring the Healdsburg Jazz Festival with art inspired by Jazz. Chris Henry creates innovative abstract paintings inspired by intuition, meditation, form and color. These works are a collage of feelings emotion using brass acrylic, oil paint pumice. The paintings become extraordinary objects taking on a surrealist lyrical dance between line and form.

Woven bronze artist Virginia Harrison combines the combustive force of bronze with the delicacy of weaving. Both artists take their respective traditional medias and transform them. Henry makes each painting an exploration into raw expression and Harrison weaves and casts unique forms that despite their scale are intricate and spellbinding. A Natural Bond is formed in the space separating painting and sculpture relating to each other through the language of art.
