Join the Moulton Museum on October 15th in welcoming Nellie’s Gallery’s newest artist, Barbara Hendricks, and her show “Squeezed Out.” Experience her interpretation of Orange County’s history through collage art. Expect a witty yet heartfelt retelling of the role agriculture plays in Orange County’s history and everyday life today. Dana Point Artist Trades Jeweler’s Bench for Collage, Debuts Solo Show on Orange County Overdevelopment Drawn by its temperate climate and beautiful scenery, Barbara Hendricks has called Southern California home since 1984. She settled in Dana Point where she ran her own business as a studio goldsmith and jewelry designer. For 33 years, she showcased her fine art jewelry at the Laguna Beach Festival of the Arts and Pageant of the Masters juried annually by a panel of art professors, museum curators, and fellow artists. Now Hendricks is stepping into a new chapter. This October, she will debut her first exhibition of mixed media collage entitled “Squeezed Out,” at the Moulton Museum in Laguna Hills. The show dates are October 15, 2026 – February 18, 2027. This body of work uses the orange as a recurring motif for the region’s transformation from ranches, farmland and orchards to housing tracts, massive apartment complexes and ever widening freeways. Many visitors will arrive already carrying a personal memory of the beauty of the southern California landscape. This exhibition intends to move that memory into awareness about the choices still ahead. She hopes “Squeezed Out” resonates with anyone who has spent time in Southern California, loves its natural landscape, and shares her concern about short-term development gains outweighing long-term environmental costs.
