Newsletter Highlights

Brent Hanson: "Saturation"
Harbor Village Gallery
Thru May 28, 2012
Hanson's paintings reflect the dichotomy of the peaks and valleys of life's experience. Using vibrant color, light and shadow, he conveys a sense of hope, richness and playfulness. These are shown in contrast to his black and white abstract and surrealist dreamscapes. (More Info)

Christine Leong: "Palette of Nature"
Buenaventura Gallery
Thru May 19, 2012
Christine Leong, who immigrated to Camarillo from her native China 10 years ago, uses the techniques and materials of her homeland -- Chinese watercolors on rice paper -- to create colorful glimpses of the natural world. Her specialities are koi and florals. (More Info)
