A working artist/ Studio Channel Islands Art Center

Today's "sitting area"

Anyone who has read this blog knows just how much I love what I do.  I'm one of those fortunate people who has a job that doesn't feel like work. (Well, it does actually, but I love it too much to care.)  I have long hours and cyclical business cycles.  But...I get to paint, teach, connect with people, and work in a place that is pretty perfect for me. The campus where I work http://studiochannelislandsartcenter.org has forty professional artists who work in various media.  

Working/ Class area

I can take a break and visit the worldwide rep for the Ansel Adams Gallery, a potter who exhibits with LACMA, nationally known weavers and other exceptional California artists.  Today I got an art history lesson from one of our board members who took the time to bring in his first editions of books by Paul Klee.   Basically it's a vibrant, working campus where true professionals are plying their trade; an amazing place for inspiration and a pursuit of excellence in the creative field of fine art. Come visit if you're in the area!
