Come see the artist, Shannon Celia in action every Monday and Thursday during the month of October in the Brenda & Gary Farr Gallery on the Upper Deck of CIMM!

CIMM is proud to have local Oxnard painter, Shannon Celia as its inaugural Artist in Residence. An award winning artist, Shannon uses oil paint, palette knives, brushes and the inspiring California seaside to create her vibrant, contemporary coastal vignettes that burst with color, texture and light.  She spends time at local harbors and beaches exploring commercial fishing vessels, lifeguard towers, palm trees, birds and even oil rigs; she finds most anything can be beautiful when the light hits just right.

Welcome Reception for Shannon Celia October 8th 12-2
