Featuring Vonder Gray and John Diehl
 Ten new paintings by local artist VONDER GRAY and new sculpture assemblage pieces by local actor/artist JOHN DIEHL will be on exhibit at the Sea Breeze Art Gallery from January 17 through February 23, 2007.
Gray is an award-winning artist and actor whose paintings are in collections around the globe. Her current work is an attempt to tell the story of what happens to the soldiers and their families -- physically and psychologically – as a result of engaging in combat.
Moved by recent events in the world, Diehl began to explore his responses through plastic mediums, and they will be shown together with some of his photographs and drawings.

The Salon Exhibit
Featuring All Resident Artists
 As the days grow shorter and we approach the Winter Solstice, Sea Breeze Art Gallery is winding up 2007 with our annual "Salon Exhibit: a group show of all the Sea Breeze Resident Artists."
Each artist has a section of wall to exhibit their work in a salon style. We hope to encourage you with our pricing for purchasing holiday gifts... or to start your own art collection! We will be hosting three receptions during this busy month to help you fit one of them into your holiday schedule!

Juried Exhibit: 3rd Annual "Dia de los Muertos"
This show was juried by Arturo Rivas, a local metal sculptor who specializes in Dia De Los Muertos artwork. Rivas also has a display of his work at Sea Breeze. (see below)
  
Local artist Stacie Logue has been the creative director of Sea Breeze Art Gallery’s Dia De Los Muertos Celebration and Juried Exhibit for the past three years. With the help of gallery owner/founder Sandra McCullough, Logue decided to create an art experience around the holiday that would include the community outside of the resident artists. It is the one of two options a year that the gallery allows outside artists to display in their space.
 
DIA DE LOS MUERTOS MASKS
The third grade students in Jock Scott's classroom at Blanche Reynolds School have experienced the wonder of having their faces encased in plaster bandages for over 30 minutes so that they could hold the image of their faces in their own hands. Artist Laurie Pegg-Scott welcomed the student's interest and vulnerability to open themselves to the challenge of this process. When we opened ourselves to something out of our comfort zone there is a true change to learn something about ourselves and about others.
These masks are modeled after traditional Day of the Dead mask designs from Mexico. This activity was done as a part of a multicultural studies unit within the social studies curriculum. Laurie Pegg-Scott '07
Students: Matthew Dettloff, Kristina Verduzco, Kayla Abbe, Jock Scott, Maria Castro, Jacob Harrington, Tommy McNairy, Hannah Rau, Kailey Ortmann, Megan Kane, Ryan Lee, Adrian Munoz, Jason Gaona, Ray Culbertson, Brian Jones, Jaden Rabago, Steven McDonald, Ariel Alvarado, Kiah Farquhar, Nikko Angeles, Kasie Spencer, and Bethany Sykes.
About DIA DE LOS MUERTOS: It is believed the holiday is during the time of year when the veil between the earthly world & the heavenly plane is thinnest and our departed loved ones are able to visit. While the name indicates death: Dia De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) it is truly a celebration of life. It is a beautiful way to honor our friends and family who have passed.

 Linda Jordan
"Mother & Child: Intimate by Nature"
Artist’s Statement
I have had many blessings in my life but the one that stands out over and above them all is the experience I have had as the mother to my children. It has been the one relationship in my life that has been the most fulfilling, the most rewarding, and the one that has given my life the most meaning.
I had both my children when being pregnant was considered a not so “pretty” thing. What inspires me the most in creating my maternity portraits today is my desire to change that image forever. Being pregnant is the time in a woman’s life that I see as the essence of femininity. It is when we are the most sensual, the most spiritual and the most aware of life itself. Pregnant women deserve to be honored so much more than our society allows.
Through my work I hope for a greater understanding and appreciation of what it means to be a woman, capable of bringing new life to this world. By creating images that reflect the absolute beauty and wonder of pregnancy, I hope to bring a new regard and respect to women during their physical and spiritual journey into motherhood.
