Local artist Claire Starkweather Forrest explores the impact of housing costs on families and the culture of communities in her current exhibition in the gallery at St. James by the Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla
, inside St. James-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla, with an opening reception at 7 p.m. tonight. Her work includes 10 drawings on paper, with two pieces on vinyl records .Forrest, 43, lives with her husband and their three children near Windansea beach in La Jolla. She’s worked as an art teacher, art consultant, muralist, and is a full-time fine artist and illustrator.
We decided not to fight the building permit and the house was later sold for $7.6 million. Although we’d been lucky to be able to move to San Francisco in the first place and to afford living there when so many could not, I remember wondering if it was possible for a family to actually live in that city or if it was reserved for the wealthy and single.
Years before we’d moved to San Francisco, we were visiting the city with our oldest son, who was just a year old. He had a beloved lion that he took everywhere, and we were pushing him in his stroller through the heart of the city when he suddenly realized he had dropped his lion. We started to retrace our steps, but his lion was gone. I was inspired by his missing lion and the cultural and economic identity crisis that cities like San Francisco are experiencing at the moment.
“Below the Surface,” a drawing by Claire Starkweather Forrest, is included in her current exhibition, “Where Have All the Children Gone?” in the gallery at St. James-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla.I began creating these drawings in 2018 and was set to have an exhibition in 2020, but the world obviously had other plans. I wouldn’t say this series is complete. I still feel inspired by the relationship between families, urban lifestyles and culture.
