Show dates November 10 – January 8

Fox Fine Jewelry presents Joyful Expressions, an art show with Linda Kidd and Bonny Butler from November 10th to January 8th, with an Art Reception on November 12th from 5 – 7 pm.

Linda Kidd grew up surrounded by artists. Linda Kidd still takes art classes to this day, having studied with Terry Masters, David Gallup, and Carolyn Smith, among others.

Bonny Butler was a dog groomer since she was 16 – she even owned her own dog grooming business! One day, she decided she had enough of the noise – from the phones ringing, the blow dryers drying, the water running – and signed up for Watercolor 101.

Melina Sempill Watts’ first novel Tree is an exploration of 229 years through the point of view of a California oak. Artist Jeff Sojka painted his vision of the tree’s reality. This cross-media exhibit, on-site and virtually, will expand your relationship to nature and its inherent consciousness.

Exhibit runs through October 2.

At Studio 99 @ The Bell Arts Factory
Location is around the back of the building off of Wall St.

Biodiversity # 120 50″ x 102″, oil on canvas, 2019

117 N 10th St, Santa Paula. Monday, October 10, 1:00 p.m.

Art isn’t one thing. It doesn’t inspire identical reactions from all viewers. Art inspires, educates. Consciously or not, our responses to works of art help us understand the world around us. Artist Hiroko Yoshimoto inspires us to think deeply. Her work has the power to amaze us. This is especially true of her body of work known as Biodiversity.

Hiroko will share her thoughts about the ecological damage to our planet occurring every day, man’s role in that destruction, and nature’s response.

This event is limited to 20 guests. Suggested donation $20. Attendees who are not members of Santa Paula Museum of Art are asked to pay the Museum’s admission price ($4 adults’ $3 seniors) at the time of the event. Reservations required by October 7.

Also showing is a large-scale installation titled Impending Storms, based on the theme of saving endangered species. Working in collaboration with the Blue Marble Art Collective.

Space is limited! RSVP: FocusontheMasters.com, at 805-653-2501 or [email protected]

Tamiko Jordan taps into the cyclical flow of life.

Under the umbrella, “Life Cycle,” three artists’ solo exhibits tap into the cyclical flow of life, whether it’s the changing nature of an artist’s style and interests over time or the rhythms of nature itself.

These BAA artists are Bonnie Quan of Ojai, with “Tiny Paintings: A Mini-retrospective”; Tamiko Jordan of Ventura, who titled her show “Ebb and Flow”; and Michelle Nosco of Ventura, who chose the theme, “Portals: Sacred Sites and the Circle of Life.”
