Instagram post 17971497427604024 Artist: Jari de Ham 

Jarien de Ham has lived on the Central Coast since 1974 with her husband, Gerald, and has raised two sons here. Her interest in art began as a child, then on to a BA from UCSB, working as an artist from home, followed by classes in Chinese painting and calligraphy at Cuesta College in the early 2000’s. This added to a lifelong interest in Asian culture from martial arts to Zen Buddhism leading, naturally to study at an art academy in Hangzhou, China. It is ever a challenge to master traditional techniques as well as push the boundaries of spontaneity. The climate and locale of the Central Coast continues to inspire and feed the need to express landscapes and forms with an Asian feel.

Instagram post 17936191940144996 Gallery Artist:  Jeff Odell

Jeff Odell has pursued the “truth of color” for more than 30 years on the Central California Coast, painting rural/urban landscapes, seascapes, portraits and figures, interior studies, and “anything that will sit long enough to serve as a subject.” He has created public artwork within the City of Morro Bay, including two “Art Cans” (large concrete trash cans turned into murals); one is located at the top of the Centennial Stairway, next to Dorn’s Breakers Café, the other is at 845 Embarcadero. He has a large mural on the north wall of the Backstage Salon, located at 960 Main Street, and he has also worked with school children to create a large painting on canvas, which hangs in the multi-purpose room at Del Mar Elementary School in north Morro Bay.

A major influence for Jeff was his experience in the painting studio of nationally recognized painter and Professor Emeritus Wilbur Niewald, who taught that the only way to get at the visual truth of color is to work directly from nature.

Sandra conveys an interest in sketching and painting, becoming more serious about art after retirement. Inspired by the Central Coast of California, Sandra says, “I can paint for hours and not even know what time it is. The stress of life just seems to go away while painting a beautiful seascape or a snowy mountain scene.” #bigsur #travelcalifornia #art #lindarichardson #sandrafowlersanders pn
Instagram post 18002185294431292 Gallery Artist:  Patricia Newton

As a child gazing into the dreamy landscapes painted by a favorite aunt, I decided early on that I wanted to explore painting in oils! Although raising a family and a career slowed this goal down a bit, I continued to pursue lifelong dreams and began to paint. I have been painting with oils for over thirty years now.

A career brought me to what became my second love… the Central Coast of California! I planted roots, worked hard, painted when time permitted and raised a family. I have been a resident of the Central Coast for over 25 years and paint whenever there is a spare moment!

I love to paint with lots of fine layers (glazing) to give each piece that translucent effect. There are endless skies, sea and hillsides to fill the heart of an artist.

My hopes and dreams are that each work of art I produce goes to a happy and loving home, because it feels a tiny bit of my soul goes with it.

Instagram post 17921986277248402 Gallery Artist:  Hope Myers

Hope Myers is an award-winning artist who paints watercolors and makes one-of-a-kind jewelry in her “An Artist’s Garden” studio in Los Osos, California. She began to work with art forms as a child and continued her interests through a B.A. degree in Wisconsin with a minor in Art History.
In California, Hope has extended her fine arts studies through academic classes at Cal Poly, and through professional workshops with Robert Reynolds, Helmuth Wegner, Kolan Peterson, Tom Lynch, and others.

Her primary medium is transparent watercolor. Using vibrant colors in sometimes unusual combinations; in clean and at times simple settings, she emphasizes her love for the beauty
of living things and outdoor scenes that can brighten our lives.
Instagram post 18228074974142541 Artist: Steve Dayton 

Steve was born in Idaho but was raised in California in a small town about fifty miles north of Bakersfield. His freshman year of high school was when his interest in art really began to take hold. Steve’s art teacher Mr. Bitner introduced him to the work of Wayne Thiebaud and silkscreen printing. It was an art field trip to Los Angeles his sophomore year with a small group of art students that made a lasting impression on him. On that trip he visited galleries on La Cienega Blvd, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the art department at UCLA where he was able to see contemporary art up close for the first time. Steve obtained Associate and BFA degrees in graphic design from Ricks College and Brigham Young University. While working in the graphic design field in Sacramento, he started seriously working on fine art, creating serigraph prints and his first box assemblages. In 1989 a job offer led him and his family to Utah where his development in the arts really began to flourish. Steve taught himself to weave; make baskets; play several musical instruments, including performing in a folk group. Steve has had opportunities to show his work in several galleries and shows and to create several public art works, which include two temporary public sculptures for Flying Objects 2.0 and 4.0 projects.

Steve divides his time between creating assemblages and abstract painting on wood panels. The assemblages are made by taking small hand built familiar objects and motifs and placing them in box frames to create absurd scenes that include absurd and humorous titles. Steve has recently begun creating absurd scenes out of cut painted paper pasted on heavy paper also with absurd and humorous titles. The paintings are abstracts in his Cayucos series using acrylic paint inspired by visits to the Central Coast. He and his wife Barbara currently reside in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Instagram post 17944526491963023 Artist: Stevie Chun 

Stevie Chun was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley. She now resides with her husband in a small town between Santa Clarita and Palmdale, California. Stevie is a self-taught artist and while exploring different mediums, she found her love for watercolor. Her work has been displayed in group shows around Southern California.

“My work depicts autobiographical experiences. Through my art I am able to share both the ecstasies of my life and the struggles of trying to understand the world around me. I found a deep love for watercolor and use it in many of my pieces. Watercolor flows freely and is unpredictable just like the hidden child within.”

Instagram post 17913722093375872 Artist: Thomas Brown 

Thomas Mackenzie Brown received a BFA Degree in Art with specialization in technical ceramics from California State University at Long Beach.

In 1983, Thomas studied crystalline glaze development with little direction as there was little experience or documentation published on the subject of crystals. Working with crystalline glazes quickly became his passion.

Thomas has been an Art Instructor in California during the past 27 years. His constant endeavor in the subject of ceramics is to produce new, exciting colors and versions of crystalline glazed pieces that are well made, beautiful to look at and help add value to the understanding of form as it relates to crystalline and other glazes.

Instagram post 17934706088177170 Gallery Artist:  Jack McNeal

I have always been a wanderer. As a child I would explore the hills around our home in Highland Park, CA. Later after we moved to Long Beach, I would explore the salt flats and dunes of dredging spoil near the San Gabriel River and Alamitos Bay. A few years later I had a small boat and spent days on Alamitos Bay. Around this time, I began to photograph during my explorations. Not many years after that I started to dive. This led to a series of home made underwater camera cases and participation in underwater photo exhibitions.

My explorations continue to the present with a clear bias toward the sea. I attempt to capture my love of water while hiking, cycling and paddling canoes and kayaks.
Instagram post 17912567858385173 Artist: Linda Bench 

Linda likes to draw inspiring natural scenes—coastal panoramas, oak covered hillsides, flowers and wildlife. While she’s always enjoyed drawing and art, she learned to draw well while studying landscape architecture in college. In 1998, she began focusing her artistic efforts on colored pencil drawing, and has slowly built up her portfolio.

Each picture takes about 20 to 25 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the background. She starts with a line drawing, slowly building up multiple layers of color to achieve the depth and intensity she’s looking for. Linda lives with her family in the mountains between Morro Bay and Atascadero.

Instagram post 17929295942252432 Artist: George Asdel

George was raised in Monterey Park, California, obtained an art education at East Los Angeles College, and C.S.U. Los Angeles and Fullerton, and now resides in Atascadero.

George has taught art at the Hibbs’ Cove Art Centre in Newfoundland, Canada, and at the Charles Paddock Zoo. He has owned art galleries, and his scenes of fishing villages have sold to collectors from around the world.

George is a member of the Central Coast Printmakers and OPAG. He enters art shows, helps in the schools, illustrates books and greeting cards, and involved in many other projects.

In George’s own words: “Our home and my studio are about 2 blocks from the Atascadero Lake Park and the Charles Paddock Zoo. (For 14 years I taught kids and adults how to draw animals at the zoo.) The house was designed by a Cal Poly architect student and built by her husband who is a general contractor.

“My studio is in a large room in the back of the house. There is a sheltered patio out one door where we raise Monarch butterflies. We are lucky to have lots of wall space inside to hang work. Visitors ask if we live in the house too because of all the art work everywhere and the fact I work in my studio, at the dining room table, on the carpet, on the davenport, and other places around the house for different projects. I only paint with acrylics in my studio which is lined with artifacts to use as subjects.

Instagram post 17921057075290029 Artist: Paul “Spanky” Anderson 

Spanky grew up in Georgia and learned to draw and paint at an early age. He later traveled the south and exhibited his artwork of the southern landscape. He graduated from the University of West Georgia with a BA in Art, where he was awarded two Permanent Collection awards from Peter Augustini, a world renowned sculptor from New York, and internationally known painter Donald Cooper. Upon graduation, Spanky began his career as a graphic designer and colorist with a major carpet and textile manufacturer.

In the mid-seventies Spanky accepted a designer colorist position in Southern California where he continued to paint and pursue his love of the local land and seascape.

Most recently Spanky has moved to the Morro Bay area where he says “My peripheral vision of the central coast virtually dictates the color palette and brushstrokes onto my canvas.”
