Artwork by Brian Johnson
⁣
Brian is a passionate artist, known for abstracting reality. His work all originated from snapping photos of reality. Unlike most abstract artists, he doesn’t start from a blank slate. Brian’s work has a distinct and unusual process, but he does not intend for the process of his work to be its narrative. Instead, Brian is goal oriented while working on art, which is unusual given that he is more often a process-first-centered-thinker. Brian is open to experimenting in order to reach surprising and interesting enigmatic artistic ends.

Artwork by Nancy Jensen
⁣
Nancy 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.

Painting by Kimberly Hempel .
⁣
“With looking for beauty in all things around me, I’m inspired to create a variety of works that range from still life to landscapes and sometimes combine them. What I expect of my audience is for them to connect to the places I depict and the objects that I choose through the emotional quality of light. Ultimately it is my goal to convey the beautiful found in common everyday life that surrounds us”. ~Kimberly Hempel

“Pacific Power” by Terry Garvin
⁣
Not only are my images an expression of myself, they have also become reminders and teachers as well as friends. I don’t always choose what an image will remind me of. There are images in my catalog that aren’t even related to past events yet evoke times of near death and struggle and past success and happiness. To be honest, but unsure of exactly what is going on, it feels like the images choose me sometimes, both in the taking and the viewing. Indeed, on a good day, I can shoot for hours but it will feel like minutes. I get in the zone and I am not even consciously thinking about camera settings or compositions, everything is on autopilot as I respond to what is before and around me.
⁣
So why share my images with you? What am I looking for? Art is important. It can relax, inspire, transform, elate, motivate, and hundreds of other things. My hope is that you have art in your life. And if my images can be a part of your art and in some way touch you beyond the “what a beautiful photo”, I am touched as well. ~Terry Garvin.

Painting by Sarah Delong.
⁣
According to Sarah, “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”. —tg

Painting by Jarien deHam. Jarien 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. —tg

Artwork by 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. —tg
