 Robert Wassell
"Wilderness Trails of Ventura"
Nov. 10 - Dec. 5, 2009
Nationally known artist of the Los Padres National Forest, Robert Wassell has been documenting the forest for 22 years. His paintings show a pristine wilderness where the only sign of man is a trail or dirt road. To reach the site of his works you have to hike several hours, so this is not the forest you see from your car window. He is known as the back packer's artist and is well known by many lovers of the forest. Wassell has a unique style and vision that is unlike any other artist in the Ventura region.
