Ruthanne Andersonwww.randersonwatercolor.com |
After retiring from teaching classes in weaving, sketr, and English, we moved to Cambria, California, a small arts community on the central coast. We also have a home in Durango, Colorado which we head to in the summers. Both Cambria, by the sea, and Durango, in the mountains, are artist's paradises. The colors, the scenes, the accepting attidues of both communities, tempt and encourage the artistic senses to be free to express their vision. |

2 and 3 Dimensional Art: While ceramics has been my focus for thirty years, I have also expanded into combining it with other media including fiber, glass and found objects. I am instinctively drawn to ancient themes and the natural world as sources for my work. |

Linda Dunn |
In my paintings I hope my viewers
will be taken away to a relaxed place as they reflect upon the fog
laden coastal range or view something that they can identify with from
their past experiences. |

Patricia Griffin |
Visitors are welcome to my studio
gallery, 2088 Main Street, where I create unique contemporary ceramics
for use in the
home. Most of my pieces begin on the wheel before they are altered by
squaring the rim or adding a dart. I then paint on blocks of color and
etch line drawings into the clay. New work and studio updates are
featured at PatriciaGriffinStudio.com

Sandi Hellerwww.sandihellerart.com |
There are times when I’m hiking that I am captivated by a scene and can’t wait to get home to recreate the feeling in pastel. I’m looking for value contrasts and interesting compositions. I enjoy pastel because of the intense, rich color created by the almost pure pigment. It captures the intensity of our blue skies and ocean, the vivid colors of the many wildflowers, the greens and golds of the hills. |

Stephen Kellogg |
After 37 years as a community college biology instructor, I'm finally free to pursue a life-long desire to do art. Before retiring in 2000, I enrolled in art history and a variety of studio art classes, with a focus on ceramic sculpture. The scenic beauty of the Central Coast has prompted me to take up watercolor painting. The two media are often complementary; one medium inspires fresh ideas in the other. I'm never bored, even with my short attention span. -- Stephen Kellogg |

Shirley Kirkes Marwww.shirleykirkesmar.com |
The suggestion of music unconsciously resonates from each painting. You can feel the dancers engage in a realistic participation of their human drama. The sustained, pervasive sense of time, the tilt of the head, the body extension, breathes life into its awareness of human talent. |

Sam Peck |
My interest in photography came out of being a life-long “travel rat”. I worked for Thai Airways at Thai’s headquarters in Bangkok, and traveled throughout Asia, the subcontinent and Europe photographing the many exotic destinations the airline served. In 2002 I moved back to California’s central coast and resumed my passion for photographing remote and exotic places. |

Erin Perry |
I've spent my life doing many things; jazz musician, junior high teacher, homesteader, opera singer, but have found my true calling in the visual art world. I work in mixed media, collage, assemblage and altered books. I love incorporating found objects - the rustier the better into my art - so if you come across any, drop them off at the library for me! |

Jan Walker |
After leaving a career in the medical field I was able to explore the world of art. trying oils and acrylics and finally discovering my favorite medium, watercolor. I love the spontaneity of colors blending uniquely on the paper .The inability to completely control the paint is to me half the fun. |
