The G2 Gallery Presents Nature LA: Nathanial Havholm
Solo Show of Photography features Images from Icy Bay, Alaska, Opens February 2, 2010

Venice, CA—On Tuesday, February 2, 2010, The G2 Gallery will present Nature LA: Nathanial Havholm, a solo exhibition of photography. This exhibition will be a part of The G2 Gallery’s Nature LA series. Nature LA brings into focus the work of individual photographers based in the Los Angeles area whose passion is shooting in nature. The exhibitions rotate regularly to showcase up-and-coming photographers from Los Angeles.
For his exhibition at the G2 Gallery, Nathanial will show a series of landscapes that encapsulate that magnificence and unique beauty of remote Icy Bay, Alaska. Originally shot while on location for an assignment with the “Discovery Channel” in late 2007, Nathanial’s viewfinder reveals a still world of ice sculptures in the sand accessible by bush plane. Icy Bay has been revealed in the past 100 years by the rapid retreat of the tidewater glaciers of the region, the Guyot, Tyndall, and Yahtse.
An Artist’s Reception will be held Friday, February 5, 2010.

The G2 Gallery Presents “Beautiful Gardens for a Dry Place"

The G2 Gallery Presents “Beautiful Gardens for a Dry Place”
Garden Talk Will Cover the Principles of Sustainable Garden Design For Drought Prone Climates on Friday, January 22 at 7:30 pm

Venice, CA—On Friday, January 22, 2010, at 7:30 p.m., The G2 Gallery will present “Beautiful Gardens for a Dry Place,” a talk on sustainable garden design given by Alison Hurst, principal designer and owner of Grow Garden Design. The State of California is in the midst of a severe drought that has been ongoing for 3 years. A specialist in drought tolerant garden designs, Alison will dispel the myth that dry gardens are harsh and barren, and discuss the many benefits of gardens that are sustainable and incorporate a true sense of place in our desert by the sea.
Inspired by art house director Derek Jarman's unconventional and iconic garden in Dungeness, Kent in her home country of England, Alison began investigating the dry garden concept more than 15 years ago. The same principles that applied to the difficult climate of Dungeness are transferable to Southern California’s landscape.
“Beautiful Gardens for a Dry Place” will be the first in The G2 Gallery’s Garden Lecture Series in the run up to Where the Wild Things Grow, a comprehensive exhibition on trees, flowers, wetlands and forests, opening March 23, 2010.
