  • Nancy Jensen

Nancy Jensen celebrates the simple joys of living on the central coast of California. In her watercolor paintings she honors the fruits of the harvest in local vineyards, the springtime surprises of bright wildflowers and blooming gardens, the fresh produce of local farms, and the gifts of the sea scattered on local sandy beaches. She recognizes the rich architectural beauty of the historic missions, the patchwork tapestry of the rolling hills, and the quiet pleasures of relaxing at home with a good book and a cup of tea. Grateful to be part of the community in such a stunning natural setting, she strives to capture and preserve the joy in her watercolors.

Nancy came to the central coast as a student at UCSB and has called the area home ever since. From Goleta and Santa Maria to Paso Robles and Cayucos, her family has grown and established deep roots. After a long and cherished career as an elementary teacher, Nancy is now focused on lifelong learning, through travel, reading, art, and time with family and friends. She has studied painting with local artists and instructors, and sees the world differently because of it. With daily practice, she is learning, growing, and finding new insights on her watercolor journey.

Instagram post 18013500928261351 Linda Richardson has lived in Morro Bay and worked as a professional land surveyor on the Central Coast since the mid 1980’s and loves the profession. Surveying will always be her first love. However, Linda felt she needed a hobby so she taught herself stained glass from a book. After taking her first class years later she found out just how much she didn’t know.

Linda says she tends to jump into things with both feet so her first large project was a 2.5′ x 3.5′ dragon with two babies hatching from eggs beneath her. It’s still her favorite. A friend offered to buy it but she didn’t want to sell it so she made one for her to her size specifications. Since then Linda has filled all her windows (and most of her friends’) with colorful stained glass art.~as
Instagram post 17860287394604614 Judy Rath: “I have always drawn and painted. One of my first memories is my father, an architect and artist showing me shading as I was drawing my dreams. My father was also an Army officer and we lived overseas after World War II. The Philippines, Japan and Germany shaped me as a child and even the different posts in the US changed and broadened my world view. After college I married and my children and family took precedence, but I still drew and painted. As my children grew I went to work outside of the home and after a few years started my own bookkeeping business. That kept me busy, but, in the small spaces, I always drew and painted.”~as
Instagram post 18083500819084728 Tyler Priest is an incredible illustrator, using pen, ink, graphite and so much more he creates drawings that have depth and detail that draw you in to discover so much more!~as
Instagram post 17884106977458625 Karen Peterson’s interest in photography began when she received her first camera on her 9th birthday. After earning a B.S. in Recreation Administration her interest in photography was rekindled by her father’s gift of his old Ziess Contaflex 35mm SLR.

Karen began creating images using the Polaroid Image & Emulsion Transfer processes in the early 1990’s. She has also explored other photographic techniques including hand coloring traditional darkroom b&w and infrared prints, Polaroid SX-70 Manipulations and digital “hand coloring”. Karen’s images have won numerous awards including the Central Coast Photographic Society’s juried fine art photography shows, the Mid-State Fair, San Mateo County Fair, KINSA, New Times & Palo Alto Weekly Photo Contests.~as
Instagram post 17924405788349594 Atul Pande is a self-taught painter working in water-based media, mainly acrylic. His style is based on the non-objective modern expressionist movement that matured in post-WWII New York. He has been influenced in recent years by the work of two North Carolina based contemporary artists, Bob Rankinand Joe DiGiulio, with both of whom he had the privilege to learn the power of line and form in abstract art.

The experience of growing up in colorful India and being educated as a neuroscientist inspires him to meld colors and shapes on the canvas to create organic forms that spontaneously engage viewers. He works in an intuitive manner employing line, form and color, but without a goal in mind. The finished painting evolves from the layers of paint he adds to each piece. Some works may have as many as half a dozen layers that add to the perception of depth.

Though the combination of lines and shapes may be perceived in his art by the viewer as a certain object, this is not by design. It is an indication that the viewer has engaged on multiple levels beyond just the immediate visual interest of the piece. ~as
Instagram post 18083361307092853 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.~as
Instagram post 17856288592653791 Pat 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.”~as
Instagram post 18085751245141731 Jane Wells Nelson lives in Templeton and creates unique porcelain pottery. Jane’s work is both traditional and experimental. Her pieces are precise, textural and unique. Every sculpture is hand made, fired and finished and can make a fine addition to any home or art studio!~as
Instagram post 18078187093178495 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.~as
