Artist: Michael Johnston

Michael’s photography was inspired by an aunt who taught her to develop film and make black and white prints in her darkroom.

At retirement she bought a digital camera, and at a local photography school, learned the basics. With that foundation and at workshops led by accomplished photographers such as Tony Stromberg, Scott Trees, Sherron Sheppard, and others Michael began to focus on her passion for horses. She traveled to Portugal, Colorado, New Mexico and California to capture the beauty, grace, majesty, and lives of these beautiful animals.

Michael’s work centers on photographing horses at liberty in their natural environments, running free. The equine’s unique athleticism, form, grace, and herd interactions are captured at those times.

Michael adds elements, textures and rearranges things to emphasize her interpretation and vision. I hope you enjoy the display of Michael’s photos as much as she enjoys capturing and presenting them to you.

Artist: Brian Johnson

Brian Johnson received a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art from California State University Chico in 2015.

Brian Johnson 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. Brian’s abstract work pursues the 400+ year old philosophical art term: the sublime.

What is 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.

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.

Artwork by Terry Garvin

Looking at one of my images is like looking at a page from my journal. Instead of using words to express myself, I use images. My images record my emotional reactions to the world around me. Sometimes they are celebratory, filled with awe and astonishment. Other times, they are more subdued, contemplative, or reminders of deeper thoughts that indwell me. In addition, there are the few whimsical and almost comical things I observe. And I certainly don’t want to overlook the spiritual feeling and connection that comes over me while observing the creation.

Photographer: Brett Harvey

My love of photography as well as the outdoors began years ago when I attended high school in LA. In my high school photography classes I picked up some basic skills, spent countless hours working in the darkroom and learned about some of the greats like Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. A couple of trips to the Sierras around that time, and I was hooked on the outdoors. I’ve been exploring it ever since. 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. California’s colorful history is also a source of personal interest to me, especially the early years with its Spanish and western architecture. I’m delighted to share these images from the last few years with you, and I hope that you find something here to enjoy or give as a gift to a friend or loved one.

Photographer: Dominic Hartman

“I use photography to document the beauty and nature around us. I use photos to draw and call attention to things that people overlook. My work is an expression of the deep connection I feel about the natural world. To me art is something that doesn’t have a simple definition. The main purpose I want to achieve is telling you a story with the images I create. I want my creations and photographs to inspire others to change or pursued their dreams. We are the stories we tell and I hope you enjoy mine.”

Aurora Swirl by Alice Cahill

In my photography I strive to see with the eyes of my heart, to find the essence of my photographic subjects. With a sense of wonder I explore Nature's wild places, her wildlife and designs. My images convey a deep spiritual connection with Nature. I believe the Natural world is a healing force and a refuge from the chaos of daily life. When we are quiet and listen, we can find peace and discover our own inner voice of wisdom.

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.

Artist: Sandra Fowler Sanders

In Sandra’s own words: “I was born and raised in California and grew up on a small farm in the San Joaquin Valley. Vacations and weekend getaways were frequently spent on the beautiful, mystical, central and south coast of California. No place like it.
I have always been interested in sketching and painting but never got serious until I retired. I can paint for hours and not even know what time it is.The stress of life just seems to go away while I’m painting a beautiful seascape or a snowy mountain scene. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed painting them.”
