Cabrillo Gallery is setting the stage for their first art exhibit of 2026, “Tamera Avery: Wayfinders.”
Avery’s paintings explore “enigmatic, surreal situations peopled with young, often absurdly costumed, protagonists,” organizers said. “Her subjects are portrayed with an empathetic eye for the plight of youth today, who are coming of age in a time of environmental, social, political and economic crises. They are faced with a world and a future full of uncertainty and daunting challenges.”
Avery constructs the scenes in her paintings with images drawn from several sources.
