Susan Cook: "Alive"
Thru July 14
First Friday: July 6, 5-8pm
Susan Cook's exhibit of paintings is a joyous, inspirational journey as seen through the eyes of an artist. "Life erects hurdles," says Cook. "For me, they appeared out of the blue and at first insurmountable, but the future moves forward, so the question remained: How to get over the hurdles. I chose to focus on the people, events and places which remind me that life is worth the effort." The progression of the paintings is a journey through a broad range of emotional, intellectual and technical territories. (More)

Jim Fitzgerald
"Symphonies of Light"
July 17 - August 11
Reception: Saturday, July 21, 4-7 pm
First Friday: August 3, 5-8pm
Many contemporary photographers multiply their megapixels and digitally modify them in pursuit of greater image control, but Jim Fitzgerald of Ventura has gone 180 degrees in the other direction. He makes black-and-white photos using a laborious process developed in the mid-1860s and large- and ultra-large-format view cameras that he builds himself, because "I have found that no other process has given me the quality, beauty and feeling that I can produce. ... I see no other way to express myself," he says. (More)

 Christine Weber
"Divergent Views"
Thru July 23 London-born artist Chris Weber kept thinking that she would find her unique "style" in her forty-year journey of trying different genres, media, and subjects. "Many times I have thought to myself that I have arrived at "My Style" but I now know that for me change plays a paramount part in my work." Weber's new show at the Harbor Village Gallery in Ventura, "Divergent Views: From Abstraction to Reality and The In Between Spaces," runs the gamut between total abstraction and realism, but uses a palette which forms a cohesive display.
