Birds by Birders
July 18 - August 16, 2026
Kimberlie Moutoux is a photographer, painter, ceramicist, and textile artist, who combines applique and quilting to depict broad themes such as migration and habitat, as well as individual species of birds. In addition to her art practice, she is a certified Master Birder, leading field trips and conducting research at Filoli Historic House and Gardens, Jasper Ridge Biological Preserves at Stanford University, Alcatraz Island, and the Golden Gate Raptor Observatory.While Vivian Walz's birding claims are much more modest, both her art and her wanderings are inspired by this quote from John Muir Laws, a local naturalist and leader in the nature journaling community: "Birding is a window into the natural world." She combines direct observation with photo references to create colored pencil drawings, hand-cut silhouettes, and collages. Her favorite local birding spots are San Bruno Mountain State and County Park, San Pedro Valley Park in Pacifica, and Pillar Point Harbor.Kimberlie maintains a studio at the Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica, and both artists are members of the Art Guild of Pacifica.
Robert Howard
Light of Day
May 2-June 30, 2026
Robert Howard's work spans multiple mediums from ceramic sculpture and pottery, to masonry sculpture, and painting. The works at Enso are selected from two series painted around ten years ago that have rarely or never been seen outside of his studio, hence the title of the show. These paintings arise from Robert’s life long interest in physics and an attempt to come to terms with the fact that physical reality is an illusion.Robert is a husband, father, artist, retired builder and former teacher who was born in Philadelphia and has lived in San Francisco since 1984.
"For a few nights of each month, the full moon in the Mojave desert is bright enough to read a newspaper by. The moon licks the desert with its silvery tongue and the rocks seem to come alive, the plants move and dance in the shadows. On such nights I can be found (or lost) tramping through the desert, the gravel crunching underfoot, a tripod on my shoulder and a bag of heavy lenses on my back. These images were taken with a medium format camera using only moonlight in long exposures. They are printed large so that you can more easily enter the mysterious desert world where they were captured.”
