Artist Leslie Nemour is presenting an ARTTALK at The Gallery at The Palms Saturday, January 18, 3 pm. Join us at the gallery to listen to Nemour's presentation about her exhibition Sleepwalking.


"I eventually began referencing images from cinematic history to transcend
split-second moments of a story into an otherworldly, or fluttering existence.
Movie genres from past eras and cinematic sources (specifically from
the 40’s – early 70’s) are referenced in Sleepwalking to contrast the parallel

energy of the past with that of the present. Autobiographically they serve as a
barometer of changing social norms and resilience." - Leslie Nemour



The Gallery at The Palms is located at The Palms at Indian Head, 2220 Hoberg Road, Borrego Springs, Ca. 92004

About the Exhibit


Leslie Nemour’s Sleepwalking captures the feeling of lingering in a space after something significant has just happened. Her paintings evoke a sense of mystery and nostalgia, drawing inspiration from classic cinema. Each piece invites viewers to reflect on fleeting moments, from shadows and reflections to the emotional energy left behind in a room.


Nemour’s background in both painting and film is evident in this exhibit. Her use of framing, color, and lighting tells a story that feels both personal and universal, blurring the boundaries between memory, reality, and dream.


  • ARTTALK: On January 18, Nemour will discuss her creative process, the themes behind Sleepwalking, and the way film and art intersect in her work.

Holy Week and Easter in Borrego

By Michael Plekon • April 17, 2025
Every spring, the calendar of the Christian churches comes round to the Forty Days of Lent, a time of self examination and reflection, very much like the season of Ramadan in Islam. These weeks culminate in Holy Weeks, the time from Palm Sunday, this year April 13, till Easter Sunday, April 20. Easter, coming from an Old English word for spring, is the celebration of Jesus being raised from death. But the Resurrection is preceded by several other special days. Called Maundy Thursday from the Latin mandatum or commandment, Thursday in Holy Week commemorates the last supper Jesus had with his disciples. At this meal he gave them bread and wine to share, this becoming the central sacrament of the church, holy communion or the Eucharist. Thursday also recalls Jesus' washing the feet of his friends as an act of love, a commandment he urged them to continue--their love for each other and all the world. Good Friday seems wrongly named for it is the day of Jesus' death on the cross. Yet this self giving is for Christians the ultimate sign of God's love for all humankind and the world. On the next day, Holy Saturday, towards evening, a vigil service of readings, the proclamation of the resurrection and holy communion begin the Easter celebration. Finally on Easter Sunday services of song, prayer, readings and communion feast the rising of the Lord from death, a promise to all of new life with God and each other forever.
