This week the Santa Paula Art Museum must thank artist Virginia Kamhi of Allied Artists of the Santa Monica Mountains and Seashore for her stunning pastel demonstration. Congratulations to Sue, a gallery talk/demonstration regular, for winning Kamhi’s finished piece! Teen Art Group is growing each week with more teens joining us every Friday evening. And the Ag Art Alliance had their hands full as 212 artworks were submitted for this year’s Art About Agriculture exhibition. We can’t wait to show you what they selected at the show’s premiere on November 9 (artist Kathy Ikerd’s “Welcoming Committee,” pictured above, is one of the 64 pieces that were chosen).
Introducing Kathleen!
The Museum is thrilled to welcome Kathleen Kaller as our new Museum Educator! Kathleen is a Teaching Artist originally from the East Coast now living with her family in Ventura, California. She received a Bachelor of Arts from Emerson College in Boston in film and art history. She then continued her education and studied painting, textile design, art education and art therapy at Otis College in Los Angeles. Her love for the ocean, color, and hand-made printmaking inspires her creative work and workshops. Kathleen also believes wholeheartedly in the therapeutic power
of art. Emphasizing the creative process over the final outcome, she guides her students to expand and trust their intuition. Click here to learn more about the Museum’s ArtSPARK School Tour Program.
