Enjoy the exhibition featuring works by Wendy and Jeff, and fellow artists Maggie Hurley, Hallie Strock and Valerie Sobel, as well as viewing the workspace and display of 18 other local artists in the 4th Street Fine Art collective. The gallery in the South Fourth (SoFo) district is an easy stroll from the restaurants and shops of 4th Street in Berkeley.

A word from the artists:
Wendy and Jeff spend hours observing and photographing animals in the wild. An experience in Kenya with a blue-eyed leopard was the inspiration behind the title of this show. Their reaction when they first saw this magnificent animal was “Look at those eyes!”
Eyes are an integral part of all living things, but predators must rely upon keen eyesight to locate and hunt for prey. This show will feature a variety of images of predators who have captivating eyes.
