The first gemstones Meyla Ruwin fell in love with belonged to an empire.

As a child, her grandmother took her to Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, home to the Ottoman royal jewel collection.

She still returns to Turkey to source stones, carrying that childhood fascination into every piece she makes.

Long before paint, photography, or glass, gemstones were already catching and holding light.

Jodi Paley begins with white. Every piece she starts as undyed material waiting for color.

For her cyanotype scarves, that color comes from light itself. Cyanotype is one of the oldest photographic processes in existence. You coat the fabric, lay objects or negatives on top, and expose it to sunlight. The sun does the rest. What you get is a print made entirely by light, in that particular blue that gives the process its name.

These scarves don’t just hold light. They were made by it.

Ketaki Adi came to painting through image and video processing — a field built on the analysis and transformation of visual information. In her paintings, that background shows up as intuition: knowing when to guide the materials and when to let them go.

In June, coastal light filters beneath the surface, reaching through drifting currents into layered blue-green depths. Through layered inks and fluid forms, the paintings become studies of how light gathers, disperses, and lingers — fleeting patterns held briefly before dissolving again.

Now showing in Holding Light through June 22.

The water behind him is made entirely of light. Every ripple catching and throwing it back, the whole surface alive.

Daniel Haniger photographs the California coast at its most alive: the surfer who climbed the rocks before anyone else arrived, reading the water, waiting for the moment. He makes photographs that ask you to be patient, and then give you everything.

Gemstones hold light in their facets the way nothing else does. Each stone gathers it differently — depending on how it formed, what it’s made of, how long it took to get here.

Jin Wang builds each piece by hand around stones chosen for their interior life. Her settings are cast through the lost wax process — a hand-sculpted form burned away to leave its exact impression in metal. What the wax held, the silver keeps.

Now showing in Holding Light through June 22.

Kathie Martin photographs California with the patience of someone who knows light doesn’t wait. Her images find the coast in its quieter moments — the fog just lifting, the tide pulling back, the particular gold of an evening before the sun disappears.

Her prints on metal catch and hold that light the way the shore itself does. Briefly, before conditions shift again. She photographs places most people pass through. Her work asks you to stop.

Now showing in Holding Light through June 22.

Beeswax. Pigment. Heat. Tomorrow Rinat Goren talks about what comes next.

Rinat works in encaustic, one of the oldest painting mediums in existence. The beeswax is translucent, and light travels through it rather than off it, which is why her paintings glow the way they do. Come hear her talk about the process, the layers, and what it means to make work about thinking itself.

Free and open to the public. Friday June 6 · 4pm · Mirada Art · 355 Main Street, Half Moon Bay

The painting in the front window right now is Sherri Hanna’s Basking in the Afterglow — soft pink and warm peach, a swirl that pulls toward the center. Look at it long enough and a bird appears in the left side, its wing catching the light.

It’s the first thing you see from the street. Come in and see the rest.

Rinat Goren with her wall at Holding Light.

She works in encaustic — beeswax and pigment fused with heat. The beeswax is translucent, which means light doesn’t just reflect off the surface. It travels through it. The glow in her paintings comes from within.

Her wall is the warmest in the show. Oranges, reds, yellows — circles and ovals accumulating across canvases like ideas forming. Come see it in person.

Julia Kahan works in the oldest light-based medium there is. Her stained glass pieces are made from silica and mineral pigment — and then held up to the light. Every piece changes with the hour, the season, the angle of the sun. No two viewings are quite the same. In a show about holding light, stained glass is the most literal answer. The work only exists because of the light passing through it. Now showing at Mirada Art on Main through June 22.
