SAN DIEGO DREAMING, L Street Fine Art Gallery - Reception June 6th - 6-9pm

Rita Shulak one of 30 San Diego Artists Interpret the "California Dream"

L Street Fine Art is proud to partner with Oceanside Museum of Art (OMA) in presenting San Diego Dreaming – dual exhibitions featuring the artwork of San Diego artists at both venues.

In complement to California Dreaming: An International Portrait of Southern California, which traveled to Italy in 2014 and remains on display at OMA through March 29, 2015, the two partnering San Diego Dreaming exhibitions showcase a total of seventy San Diego-based artists and their highly individualized interpretations of the “California Dream”. 

Rita is a juried artist who has won first place in several major art competitions. Her painting styles include pointillism, palette knife, brush, finger painting, washes, dry brush and glazes. “I’m a continual student focusing on new designs and techniques of the masters and learning how to free my spirit into a right brain experience. Color is my passion in painting. I love my paintings to have texture, rhythm,  and a luxurious composition. My paintings are heartfelt, and bright."

Corresponding to its international forerunner, the San Diego Dreaming exhibition at the L Street Fine Art Gallery is composed of original contemporary works by 30 San Diego artists that creatively interpret Southern California’s iconic culture. The exhibition at L Street Fine Art includes artists: Rebecca Bauer, Bre Custodio, Paula Des Jardins, Richard Dowdy, Amber Foote, Helen Shafer Garcia, Amber George, Ken Goldman, Jim Hornung, Mark Jesinoski, Kirby Kendrick, Sherry Krulle-Beaton, Margaret Larlham, Robert Avon Lees, Anita Lewis, Shuang Li, Chris Martino, Glen Maxion, Connie McCoy, Joe Nalven, Diane O’Connell, Robyn Oliver, Robert Pendleton, Robin Raznick, RD Riccoboni, Julianne Ricksecker, Rita Shulak, Julie Ann Stricklin, Michael Taylor, Rosemary Valente.  The exhibit runs March 30 - June 30, 2015. 

Join us on June 6th, 6-9pm, at L Street Fine Art Gallery located at: 628 L St, San Diego, CA 92101.  Questions: (760) 492-2876 or email to:director@lstreetfineart.com.

Seeking wildlife and domestic 2D-Painters, any mediums, to jury into a submission for the Encinitas Civic Art Program 2015.

A lengthy process, but well worth it, if we are successful.  One of the artists requirements (1yr. from now), will be a donation requirement to fund the incredible opening reception event, in the amount of $40.00.  We host demos, silent auctions, pet adoptions and more, so every little bit helps to make this a well attended and very successful event.
