Scenes of the Pacific
December 5 - March 4, 2001
The California Art
Club Gallery, a nonprofit art gallery located at the historic Old Mill in
San Marino, presents its latest exhibition, Scenes of the Pacific,
from December 5 through March 4, 2001. On view are many interpretations
of California's magnificent coastline and the great ocean that California
shares with Asia.
Each
of the ten featured artists presents a uniquely personal vision of this
meeting of land and sea. Artists Anita Hampton and David Jonas, working
along California's Central Coast, portray the area's untouched rocky coastline
and still waters on quiet mornings. Painters Paula Bacinski and Marcia Burtt
capture in oil on canvas the blue Pacific off the Santa Barbara Coast and
inviting beaches begging for a stroll. Ruo Li and Calvin Liang record the
ever changing yet constant tide, while Ray Roberts and Peter Adams focus
on the way bright light from the setting sun plays on dark waters. In particular,
artists Stephen Mirich and Eric Merrell depict the coves and cliffs of Pales
Verdes, a treasure to preservationists. (left: Ray Roberts, Coastal

Despite such diversity of style and perspective, each artist
paints with a common passion - the need to preserve the natural beauty of
the Pacific and the California coastline.
