Featured Artist: VIRGINIA MACK Opening Reception:  FRIDAY, JULY 12th, 2019 from 5-8pm Type of Art:   WATERCOLOR Exhibit Beginning:  JULY 1, 2019   Exhibit Ending: JULY 29, 2019 Location:  GALLERY AT MARINA SQUARE, 601 EMBARCADERO, SUITE 10, MORRO BAY, CA 93442 Event Contact Number:  805-772-1068 Artist Statement:   Virginia Mack is a native Californian. She has been exploring and savoring the wild lands of the state throughout her life. She has been living on the Central Coast for 15 years. She is a part-time instructor at Cuesta College in the fine arts departments.Virginia works primarily in watercolors and mixed media and is a colorist at heart. She builds most of her pieces in a wet-on-wet process (wet watercolor paints on wet watercolor paper) resolving the pieces as the paper slowly dries. She creates the forms with rich colors that she plays off against contrasting colors thereby subduing them while preserving their presence in layers of color. She often mixes the watercolor process with work using colored pencils, pastel, charcoal, and pencil.Virginia received her education in fine arts at the University of California, Berkeley. She has taken additional classes at The California College of Arts and Crafts and in independent workshops. Watercolor by Virginia Mack

FEATURED ARTIST Lower Gallery:  KIMBERLY HEMPEL FINE ART PAINTING Artists’ Statement: In Kimberly’s own words— “In my home studio, I work mostly with photo references to create oil paintings from my travels. When possible I work plein air to capture the mood of the light. I work from direct observation when possible and from photographic reference when the weather is inhospitable. Working from photographic references allows me to make a record of what I see and spend time in my studio translating that image on to the canvas. My current works feature still life in landscape, and explorations of interior settings as well.”

Instagram post 17935073614480808 Jewelry by 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! ~Marjorie

Instagram post 17862502016425092 Painting by Dottie Phelps Visker

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. ~Dottie

Instagram post 18089660626245353 Gallery Artist:  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.
Instagram post 17896870648872478 Dominic Hartman feels a deep connection to nature. He hopes to inspire the onlooker using photography as a tool to document nature and draw attention to things and places he feels some people may overlook. Here's a great example of an inspirational moment caught with his digital camera.

Instagram post 17907766075674358 Gallery Artist:  Gay McNeal

Gay’s love of textiles and the fiber arts started when her mother taught her to sew when she was ten years old.

Gay received a BA in Art with an emphasis in Interior and Textile Design from C.S.U. Long Beach. She continues to take classes in order to explore and experiment with all aspects of the fiber arts.

Gay possesses an appreciation of the multifaceted role that fiber has played in the art and material cultures of many ethnic societies, and her creative high comes from the actual process of trying out the multitude of techniques, both old and new available to textile artists today.

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. SW

Instagram post 18060428293272405 have always drawn and painted. One of my first memories is of 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 worldview. 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.
