August Art Exhibit Series
Catharine King
Opening Reception
Saturday, August 16th, 4-6 pm

Catharine King was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She took her B.F.A from University of Michigan School of Art and Design in 1996. She has worked as an assistant mural artist to Dorothea Rockburne. She studied abroad in Florence, Italy continuing her work in painting and sculpture. She is now a resident artist at the Satsuma Gallery in North Hollywood, CA.

King works primarily in oil paints, but enjoys ceramics and watercolor, exploring the ideas of nature and organic forms as expressed in their simplest states. Her bamboo paintings explore the idea of straight lines grown naturally. Catharine King's oil paintings experiment with color theory, as well as fundamental and organic forms expressed in their simplest states in nature.

She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband Matthew and their two pets Dagmar and Boo.

Breathe

Written by Peter Robinson

Today’s Tai Chi Tip is actually a story about a little boy named Lo Ping, who lived in Ancient China.

Lo Ping was a very sickly boy, thin, constantly tired, who shuffled around to the point that all of the other boys called him “slow ant.”

His mother, Auntie Ho, was very worried about him. One day, she saw an old man walking down the street, who walked with a bounce in his step, moving along at a quick pace, despite the fact that he was pushing a heavy cart. The man had a sparkle in his eye, and a youthly demeanor, despite his age.

August Self-Healing Tips

Written by Julie Festa, L.Ac.

In August the earth begins to dry out. It will continue this through the rest of the year. That means, amongst other things, that this month is a time of great shifting. Many people start to get allergies during this time, which represent a need to strengthen the earth element and it’s ability to transform with the seasons. The earth element also represents the ability to connect and bond with the changing environment.

Because the earth begins to dry out now, allergies during this time are often a result of insufficient fluids in the body, and a sign that the body does is not producing enough fluids to sustain through the dry season. In order to prevent or treat these types of allergies, fluids need to be created, supported, and maintained.

Nutritionally, apples are an excellent way to work with allergies in the early dry season. They clear heat that may have been taken on during the summer. In addition, they create body fluids, strengthen the lung, spleen, and stomach, and contain loads of calcium, potassium, iron, niacin, and vitamins a, b, and c.
