In relation to their current exhibit, artists Heidi Hybl and Dennis Peak meet with the public at the Carmel Art Association. Hybl is a Big Sur painter; her works are abstract but rooted in landscapes. Born in Chicago, she studied art at the UC Santa Cruz and Monterey Peninsula College. Her early professional life in the field of medicine and biology continues to inform her work. Peak, an abstract painter, pursued art at UCSC with a focus on ceramic sculpture. Eventually, he sold his kiln and clay tools and began painting with acrylics on canvas full time. His abstract compositions are influenced by his life-long interest in structure and a curiosity about what holds things together. The joint exhibit, Motion and Stillness, will remain on display until June 2. [AP]
