RSVP Jonathan Crow Artist Talk Friday, March 6th, 2026 1:00PM - 2:00PM Free Admission (RSVP on Eventbrite) Inside the Triton Museum Jonathan Crow is a Santa Clara-based artist whose background in film heavily influences and shapes his work. Crow’s experience combined with oil as his primary medium come together in exploring form, color, and tension to create pieces that are reminiscent of stills from movies. Jonathan Crow’s exhibition, Cul-de-sac , consists of a curated collection of paintings that combine the quiet, unassuming stillness of suburbia, with moments of dark and unsettling humor. These scenes in his paintings draw inspiration from Edward Hopper, Richard Diebenkorn, and the films of David Lynch. In many of these scenes, there is a “growing unease” or “some menace that looms just outside the frame,” as Crow explains, which also brings forth conversations of vital topics including race, gender, and the complicated nature of living in America. This event gives you the opportunity to meet the artist and learn more about him and his work, while viewing the artist's current exhibition at the Triton Museum of Art. This event is free and open to the public (including free parking). RSVP Cynthia Ona Innis Artist Talk Tuesday, March 10th, 2026 12:00PM - 1:00PM Free Admission (RSVP on Eventbrite) Inside the Triton Museum Cynthia Ona Innis’s upcoming exhibition, Seams , is a collection of abstract pieces where pigments and textiles “meet at the seams” and have a conversation. Innis’s approach to abstraction is rooted in a physical, process-driven practice. The dialogue between the pigments and the textiles are uncovered through the way they respond to each other; pigments poured directly onto the fabric, bleach used to remove color, materials cut, stitched, assembled and reassembled. Engaging with the textures and weights of these materials, Innis allows her surfaces to transform organically, reflecting the ongoing evolution of this process. “Across these works, stitching, knitting, layering, and suspension become meditations on connection and fracture - memory and material, permanence and impermanence. The resulting surfaces reflect the layered experiences that shape how we see and move through the natural world,” Innis explains. This event gives you the opportunity to meet the artist and learn more about him and his work, while viewing the artist's current exhibition at the Triton Museum of Art. This event is free and open to the public (including free parking). RSVP Jacqueline Boberg Artist Talk Saturday, March 14th, 2026 1:00PM - 2:00PM Free Admission (RSVP on Eventbrite) Inside the Triton Museum Jacqueline Boberg is a Bay Area based mixed media artist whose focus is creating dynamic, vibrant works that jump on and off the wall. Jacqueline Boberg’s current exhibition Edge of Silence consists of an array of pieces that showcases her ongoing journey in design and mixed media. Boberg’s artistic exploration spans over thirty years across a multitude of mediums including watercolor, pastel, oil, and acrylic. A decade in abstract mixed media reshaped her artistic vision and she has recently returned to landscapes and still lifes, merging contemporary experimentation with timeless observation. This event gives you the opportunity to meet the artist and learn more about her and her work, while viewing the artist's current exhibition at the Triton Museum of Art. This event is free and open to the public (including free parking). RSVP Emanuela Harris Sintamarian Artist Talk Friday, March 27th, 2026 1:00PM - 2:00PM Free Admission (RSVP on Eventbrite) Inside the Triton Museum Emanuela Harris Sintamarian’s current exhibition, The Theater of Premature Truths , consists of a series of works that explores her personal identity and lived experiences within context. As a Romanian immigrant in the United States, Emanuela Harris Sintamarian’s work is shaped by the negotiation between belonging and estrangement. Concepts of dualism, fragmentation, and migration show up in Sintamarian’s pieces, reflecting on the complexity of identity and memories. “I construct polyphonic images - fractured allegories of my physical, emotional, and intellectual journey. Loss, displacement, and containment become catalysts for ritualized acts of self-expropriation, transforming absence into generative force,” Sintamarian describes. This event gives you the opportunity to meet the artist and learn more about her and her work, while viewing the artist's current exhibition at the Triton Museum of Art. This event is free and open to the public (including free parking).
