Gallery Artist: Brian Johnson

Brian’s abstract work pursues the 400+ year old philosophical art term: the sublime
The sublime was a prominent art term and visual pursuit, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries. However in it’s heyday, the sublime was pictorially sought through naturalistic landscape paintings. Products which are very different from Brian’s abstract work.In aesthetics, the sublime (from the Latin sublīmis) is the quality of greatness, whether physical, moral, intellectual, metaphysical, aesthetic, spiritual, or artistic. The term especially refers to a greatness beyond all possibility of calculation, measurement, or imitation.

Brian feels that an abstract approach to the sublime only makes sense given how subjective measurable emotions can be. Let alone immeasurable emotions.

There's a bit of humor and whimsey in all of George Asdel's paintings. George often puts more than a little of himself in his paintings and drawings. In fact, he's depicted in this one, feeding fish with his morning coffee! George illustrates books, greeting cards and writes poetry. See more of George's work at Gallery at Marina Square.

Photography by Brett Harvey—“While my personal travels have taken me all over the world, I continue to have a deep love and appreciation for the beauty of California. My home state has such a rich and diverse landscape, hundreds of miles of gorgeous coastline, both high and low deserts, incredible mountain scenery and grasslands. I’m delighted to share these images from the last few years with you.”

Gallery Artist: 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.

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.

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.

Artist: Marjorie Zlotowitz

There’s plenty of evidence that since the rise of humankind, we’ve been making art. For lack of a cave wall, my first masterpiece, a maroon Crayola giraffe, was executed on the upholstery of a new piece of furniture. My mother assured me that was when I began suffering for my art.

Ever since we humans figured out how to string stones and bones, we’ve adorned ourselves with things we find aesthetically pleasing. I got in on that action after a half-century of drawing and painting. Now, I view jewelry-making as 3-dimensional painting. I love the colors, shapes, and textures of natural stones, various metals, and vintage beads. The breathtaking beauty of the Central Coast provides endless inspiration. If you share my obsession with shiny, sparkly, and natural things, please have a look. If you make a purchase, you’ll be supporting Alzheimer’s and cancer research. Wear my jewelry in good health!

“A Piece of History” by Susan Wood

Susan grew up in Italy and New York City, with artist parents, and graduated from the Boston University School of Fine Arts with classical training in drawing, painting, and sculpture.

Susan settled in Morro Bay in 2003, and although she majored in sculpture, she found new delight in watercolors, inspired by the beauty of the Central Coast. Susan’s watercolors are of local scenes and are done outside, on location (plein air). Her aim is to capture the energy and essence of the setting, rather than be exactingly realistic.

In 2007 she won an award at the Aquarius juried watercolor show at the SLO Art Center.

Lower Gallery Featured Artist: DEBBIE GEDAYLOO

Type of Art: NEEDLE FELTING

Debbie Gedayloo is a self-taught fiber artist. Her primary medium is wool but she also incorporates various other fibers into her art. Her work is created both using wet felting and needle felting techniques. "I love the tactile nature of the fibers and their ability to lend themselves to both the realistic and playful. Needle felting allows for sculpting the fibers and creating 3-D pieces which speaks to my interest in engineering and natural forms. It is a wonderful to sit with the fibers and create every day and the added level of joy experienced by sharing with others heightens the creative process."

Artist: Dottie Visker

Embrace life and enjoy the ride! You decide your life story! Happiness is your choice-so take it. Smile and people will smile back at you. 😍

Born in 1963, south Jersey. I was always busy creating as far back as I remember.
I am a self taught painter and but watched my Mom paint sometimes. I had several art classes in high school (that I loved) and oil painting class in college. I have done some smaller classes off and on for watercolor painting and jewelry making. However it wasn’t until 2005 when I had breast cancer that I wanted to express myself and leave my mark on the world. I did drawings, watercolors, acrylics painting, card making and jewelry making. I started selling my jewelry in local boutiques and spas in 2006 in the Bay Area, Je T’aime Paris. In 2009 I was in full swing doing acrylic painting, especially abstract. 2014 knocked down with diagnosis of cancer left breast, but after a month, and returned from christmas holiday, the confirmed cancer mass was gone! It was my Christmas Miracle, documented in my chart at UC Davis Cancer Center.

In my backyard I get inspiration-Colors in the flowers, sky and birds. I like to paint outside and inside. I adore the sunshine and have to be in a sunny room near the window. Hopefully I am wearing something new-it always seems to inspire me. Or is it that I’m already inspired and that’s why I went shopping and bought something new to wear because I’m happy?

I hope this art will enliven your surroundings and make many sensations! Enjoy and live life to the fullest. Dottie.
