Upper Gallery FEATURED Artist—SKYE WRIGHT TFINE ART DIGITAL PAINTING Artist Statement— Skye Wright has had a love affair with art since early childhood.

In 2011 she began a 3-year intensive education in computer programming which included learning Adobe Illustrator. You could say it was love at first click. After mastering the program she continued to build her portfolio by publishing 3 coloring books and built an extensive greeting card line. Before her move to the computer and graphic arts, she worked as a commercial studio artist for the company Daniels’s Woodland located out of Paso Robles. Her work from there can be seen throughout California and the United States. Skye has sold artwork internationally and been commissioned by private art collectors for the last 16 years.

GUEST FEATURED Artist—CARLO CHRISTIANType of Art: FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHYExhibit Beginning: NOVEMBER 1, 2020 Exhibit Ending: NOVEMBER 29, 2020 Location: GALLERY AT MARINA SQUARE, 601 EMBARCADERO, SUITE 10, MORRO BAY, CA 93442 Event Contact Number: 805-772-1068Artist Statement: In Carlo Christian’s own words:“From a young age, I have been in love with the craft and art of photography. I was fortunate to work as a commercial printer in two prestigious photo labs, as well as, an assistant photographer in a high-end fashion studio. Today I work as a chemist and own a small studio and photography business. “My interest in history, both natural and human, informs my choice of photographic subjects. My favorite mentor taught me when outdoors nature tells us about relationships, the cycles of life and matter, organic and inorganic: “just look around and listen.” This lesson still inspires my photographic vision. “I love revisiting deserted buildings, farms, ranches and junk yards over time as they return to nature—the sacred circle. These abandoned places whisper stories of our ancestor’s dreams and lives when we take the time to look and listen. My ambition is to share those impressions.”
