Nanny Goat Gallery unveil: Laura Leigh, Keight MacLean + GEMS

Taking roots in the Petaluma arts scene, Nanny Goat Gallery celebrates new and contemporary representational art, predominantly in the pop surreal, narrative, and fantasy genres. This Friday 8 November, Nanny Goat Gallery unveil not one, but three new exhibitions! Debuting their first small work exhibit, Gems features the work of 44 artists and over 60 new original paintings, drawings and sculptures. Alongside this, Southern California-based artist Laura Leigh brings you Fluent, her first-ever heart-filled solo, featuring a body of both mesmerising alcohol inks and oil paintings. To top it off, Toronto-based artist Keight MacLean also unveils What Lingers, an incredible collection of work in her classical, Baroque-meets-new contemporary style.

Gems

To ensure accessibility, co-founders Paul and Emily Eccles aim to introduce collectors to unique works at a broad range of prices through their exhibitions. Gems is no exception. “Small works are a great way to start an art collection, fill that small space that needs a little something, and they make great gifts for this holiday season.” Says Emily. Featuring over 60 works, the exhibition celebrates an eclectic array of works from soothing miniature landscapes to portraiture and animal art. Spanning painting and sculpture across multiple genres, this is the perfect opportunity to add to your collection.

About Nanny Goat Gallery //

Taking roots in the Petaluma arts scene, Nanny Goat Gallery celebrates new and contemporary representational art, predominantly in the pop surreal, narrative, and fantasy genres. Far from the minimalist white walls experience, Nanny Goat Gallery happily leans into its historical foundations. The gallery boasts a two-room space with rustic brick walls, across the street from the river in downtown Petaluma.

Why “Nanny Goat” Gallery?

During the 1940s to the 1960s, spanning three generations, members of Emily Eccles’ family resided on a picturesque hill in San Francisco affectionately referred to as Nanny Goat Hill. Memories of her family home evoke tales of its humble beginnings; the transformations it underwent, and the countless cherished moments shared within its walls—abundant laughter mingled with the occasional challenge.

Fast forward to today, and Emily’s journey, with her husband and gallery co-owner Paul, continues with the establishment of their gallery in Petaluma, nestled just 20 miles north of the vibrant city. This endeavor is truly a family affair, with each member contributing their unique expertise: Emily’s husband brings his skills in technology and law to the table, and Emily’s mom lends her financial acumen as CPA.

Yet, even in this modern venture, the spirits of her beloved grandmother and great-grandmother seem to linger, weaving their legacy into every aspect of their endeavor – an element that fills Emily Eccles’ heart with profound joy.
