“Evening Fog Over Morro Bay” by Sarah DeLong
⁣
“The natural environment with its patterns, shapes and textures has fascinated me since childhood. Capturing the light as it quickly dances over the landscape and objects is always a challenge as I paint Plein Air. Watercolor’s transparent glowing colors and its ability for colors to blend on paper allow me to have ta loose realistic style. I am in my element painting by a rushing stream or painting boats in a harbor but I also enjoy the complexity of people’s faces, animals and flowers.
⁣
“I am a midwest transplant that now makes Morro Bay, California her home. I am a signature member of the Central Coast Watercolor Society and Iowa Watercolor Society and have exhibited in many shows in Minnesota, Iowa and California”. ~Sarah DeLong

“Cambria Pines” by Jari deHam

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.

Photograph by Carlo Christian
⁣
“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.” ~Carlo Christian

“My Black Cat” by George Asdel
⁣
“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.
⁣
“I work daily in black 4” x 6” hardcover books. I’m on my 38th volume—over 17,000 drawings of people relating to other animals. I base most of my large acrylic paintings on these small drawings. I also write poems based on these drawings. Many of my poems, drawings and paintings have a thread of whimsy. (I am a puppeteer also). I also paint landscapes and still lifes.” ~George Asdel
