Mimi Booth and P. Ethan Castro show their work
The Willits Center for the Arts presents Mimi Booth’s ceramics and P. Ethan Castro’s paintings. Mimi’s ceramics have been inspired by adventures throughout the South West. Viewed through her camera lens, she is seeking to understand each landscape, including the results of human impact. Focused on paying tribute to a place, she is informed by the shapes, patterns and textures that intrigue her. P. Ethan Castro is a selftaught Contemporary Native American Artist in Mixed Media Abstract Expressionisms. He was born and raised in Ukiah, and is a Wailacki Descendant of the North Fork Eel River Territory and registered on the Round Valley Indian Reservation located in Covelo. Mimi and Ethan will be showing their work at the Willits Center for the Arts, Friday, Oct. 2 through Oct. 25. Gallery is open weekends, Friday, Saturday, and Sundays 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.
