For over thirty years, Jack Ogden has been one of Sacramento’s most popular artists. He is best known for his eclectic style, ranging from his figurative work, self-portraits, still-lives, and landscapes. Ogden’s narrative works depict his personal interests in nostalgia and worldly cultures. His paintings make reference to a varied art history, ranging from Byzantine, Persian, and Japanese motifs to modern influences of Spanish Baroque, French Impressionism, German Expressionism, as well as more recent stylings of Philip Guston and the Bay Area figurative school. Whatever the label, Ogden is very much a Northern California artist. Exhibit open from September 1 - October 3.

ARTHOUSE Gallery is proud to present “Tarnish, Rust & Rivets” the incomparable work of California artist Karen Burns. This exhibit will run from September 10th through October 5th at ARTHOUSE Gallery, 1021 R. Street in historic downtown Sacramento. There will be an opening reception and opportunity to meet the artist Saturday, September 12th from 5-8 pm and an artist talk at 6:00 in the main gallery.

“Tarnish, Rust & Rivets” is a collection of curious paintings of curious objects. Burns is a master collector of antique and well-loved items teeming with story and history. Her studio feels like a throwback in time, to items that hold secrets yet masquerade as everyday objects.

Burns began her career as a photographer – chasing light and ideal compositions. Photography honed her composition skills, but she discovered painting allowed further exploration of color and texture. So, the journey of working in oils began. She finds herself still setting up still life compositions and chasing light, only with a paintbrush rather than camera.

Karen Burn’s work has been shown with distinction at exhibits such as The American Artists Professional League’s 97th Grand National Exhibition at the Salmagundi Club in New York, National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society Best of America Exhibition in 2025 and The International Guild of Realism’s Fall 2025 Exhibit. She is represented by High Hand Gallery in Loomis and For the Love of Art Gallery in Auburn.

In addition to paintings of luscious everyday rusting and tarnishing objects, Burns has more recently taken to a series of whimsical robots with very specific jobs.

Please join us for this special exhibit and explore her magical world.

In addition to the Gallery Show, ARTHOUSE resident artists will open their studios to the public for Second Saturday, September 12th from 5:00 – 8:00 pm.

To learn more about Karen Burns find her on Instagram @karenburnsphoto on Facebook at PWbyKarenBurns or at her website www.karenburnsfineart.com

Screening of the award-winning documentary REFLECTION: A WALK WITH WATER. Filmmaker Emmett Brennan walks the length of the Los Angeles aqueduct in search of a vision for humanity worth living for—what he discovers has everything to do with water. He embarks on a powerful journey to find stories of hope and healing. Brennan sets out to walk 200 miles next to the Los Angeles aqueduct. Along the way he encounters cultural leaders, ecological iconoclasts, and indigenous wisdom keepers who are re-envisioning our relationship to water. The water cycle is being broken, they say, and the consequence is an increasingly erratic and uninhabitable planet.

Through a series of intimate vignettes, Reflection: a walk with water offers essential guidance for reviving this cycle. The award-winning film highlights transformational stories from LA and other parts of California and makes widespread ecological healing seem well within reach. Providing deep insight into the inseparability of water and life, Reflection helps equip our minds and hearts for the important work ahead.
