Santa Barbara, California

Karen L. Brown received an Honorable Mention

for the above image 

This juried show is the first time that the 
Bronfman Family Jewish Community Center has hosted 
SB Printmakers, a unique art association. 
"We are excited to have the Printmakers exhibit their art in a juried show," 
says curator Lynn Holley. 
"Printmaking, in all its forms, is a special process that produces distinctive 
and often multi-layered and textured work, 
all which transcends regular painting and photography."

News & Looking at 2011

Elizabeth Manger and Judy Gibbs attended the Monotype/Monoprint workshop 

with New Mexico printmaker Michael McCabe in early December 

at Linda Taylor’s Studio in Ojai.  

It was a wonderful, hands-on learning experience, and fun as well.  

Michael and Linda, working together, created a friendly 

and supportive environment in a great studio space. 

Both Bay Hallowell and Karen L Brown will be having solo shows this coming year. 

Bay will be showing at the SB library in February 

and  

Karen will be at the Buenaventura Art Gallery in June 21-July 16th 2011

We are sure both shows will feature more AMAZING work from both women.

More details to follow

Beverly Decker will have a one person show at the Foster Library in Ventura.  

It will be up until Feb 2011.  

She will be part of the Focus on the Masters on Aug 13, 2011

and 

she will have a one person show at 643 Project Space during the month of August 2011.
