AT THE BUENAVENTURA GALLERY

Ventura, CA 805/648-1235
Diana Caskey
"The Sea and
Everything In It"
Thru September 8 First Fridays Gallery Crawl: September 7, 5- 8 pm
The title "The Sea and Everything In It" was taken from a verse in the Bible, Psalm 98:7, "Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!" In the Bible the sea is a symbol for many things, the unknown, all of mankind, etc. This show hopes to convey not only the artist's love of the ocean and the lifestyle around it but also humanity's need for a relationship with its creator. (More) Coming Soon!
