“Photography is an opportunity to marvel at all the beauty in the world. Birds, sunsets, mountains, oceans, each offers a journey into the sublime. The overwhelming beauty of the world provides us with infinite opportunity to discover, to experience and to truly live. Ultimately however, a pursuit of perfection and beauty is superfluous if done without humility, reverence and an appreciation for gentleness. Good photography is not a place, it is a state of mind, a feeling, a vibe with daily practice. Wandering the world, with a camera, family or friends, whether near or far, is an opportunity to capture and appreciate the glory of existence. We are all here for a brief moment, we should all take the time to appreciate and surround ourselves with the marvelous.”

Art Listings: March 2025 Featured Artists: Exhibits: 2nd Saturday Opening Reception: Location: Contact: Upper Gallery I Featured Artist: Grant Kreinberg, Photography Artist Statement: I didn’t start out to be an artist. Engineering has been my career. Photography has been my passion. I got my first camera when I was about 12 and never really stopped taking photographs. My education and experience have been as a civil engineer. I’ve gotten into the habit of carrying a camera with me, wherever I go. When something catches my eye, I photograph it. I’ve discovered that I have a good eye, and a great imagination. My goal is to take photos that folks look at and say, “That’s a cool shot.” I photograph what I see, and it took me years to realize that most folks didn’t see what I saw. My photos are representative of my different photographic interests. I favor nature and the outdoors of Northern California. I live in Northern California, and I’m always looking for a new road or a new area to explore. The abstracts are the product of my mind modifying what my eye sees. I’m a member of the BlackHawk Gallery in Danville, the Gallery at Marina […]

In her San Luis Obispo studio, she coaxes acrylics onto canvases where the dance between light and form seems to breathe and move. Each painting is to be observed slowly, like memory emerging from a fog. When you look at her work, you don’t see a scene; you’re stepping into another world. Her paintings invite you to look closer, to wander through each brushstroke or wave of pigment, discovering hitherto unknown shapes. Laura’s artistic endeavors seek to create a more vivid, personal language that feels like someone speaking naturally about art […]

Alan B. Cohen is attracted to contrasts of new and Alan B. Cohen is attracted to contrasts of new and old, created and found, weathered to highly finished. His sculptural art fabrications begin with items he finds washed up on west coast beaches. These objects generally speak to him about a direction or suggest an idea. He transforms his sculptures by adding old fishing tackle, rusted wire, tools, brushes, and other recycled objects to create birds, underwater creatures, masks and abstract pieces. Some pieces are simple and elegant, while others are whimsical and fantastical. #bigsur #travelcalifornia #art #alancohen pn
