Artwork by Shiela Sanders.
⁣

Sheila has been creating art since she was a young girl living in Kennett Missouri. After graduation she moved to California, and has been living the country life with horses, dogs and cats. A love of animals has been an inspiration for many paintings. After studying with art instructors in Life Portrait classes, Landscape, and Watercolors she progressed to begin teaching art classes. Experimenting with different Oils, Acrylics, Watercolors and Pastels, she loves painting animals, people, landscapes, seascapes and flowers. You will find her most of the time in her studio painting, making jewelry and pottery. She also loves taking trips to the oceanside and beyond to paint on location!

Artwork by Linda Richardson.
⁣

Linda 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.
⁣
Linda has donated pieces to scholarship and Wounded Warriors auctions and California Land Surveyors Association chapter barbecues as well as various other fund raisers.

“California Oak by 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.
⁣
Upon retiring, I expanded my painting, used many sources on the internet for inspiration and discovered fluid painting. That gave me freedom from the control I had always brought to my art and allowed me to use color in extraordinary ways. From there it was a short step to resin and the exciting methods and beauty that I find in that medium. I love the organic patterns that I create and always find the magic, clarity depth and emotion expressed with each painting.
⁣
Every day I walk into my studio and speak to you with color and form. It’s been a journey of love and it’s ongoing”. ~Judy Rath

Photograph by Karen Peterson
⁣

Karen’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.

Painting by Atul Pande
⁣
Atul 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.

“Colorful view from Black Rock” by Jeff Odell
⁣

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.
⁣
A major influence for Jeff was his experience in the painting studio of nationally recognized painter and Professor Emeritus Wilbur Niewald, who taught that the only way to get at the visual truth of color is to work directly from nature.

Salt and Pepper Shaker by Diane Miller
⁣

If you attend local craft events you have watched Glass Artist Diane Miller improve over the last 25 years. Her medium is pyrex glass. She starts with rods and tubing and works over a small bench torch. She melds, fuses, cajoles and defines her original pieces. The rods and tubing become earrings, scent bottles, ornaments, salt and pepper shakers. Diane is also a watercolor painter. Cartooning is her muse. She is sure to keep a watercolor journal of her travels and life’s notable events. Diane is a native of the Central Coast and lives in Morro Bay with her husband, Ed, who is also a glass blower.

Photograph by Jack McNeal
⁣
“ I have always been a wanderer. As a child I would explore the hills around our home in Highland Park, CA. Later after we moved to Long Beach, I would explore the salt flats and dunes of dredging spoil near the San Gabriel River and Alamitos Bay. A few years later I had a small boat and spent days on Alamitos Bay. Around this time, I began to photograph during my explorations. Not many years after that I started to dive. This led to a series of home made underwater camera cases and participation in underwater photo exhibitions.
⁣
My explorations continue to the present with a clear bias toward the sea. I attempt to capture my love of water while hiking, cycling and paddling canoes and kayaks”. ~Jack McNeal
