It has been an honor to work with @jennifermmoses and these other world-class artists to create this exhibition, highlighting the natural beauty of the Ojai Valley. Through the 16 weeks of the show, we had talks and demonstrations by @obermeyerstudio , @wirthwatching , @carolynlordca , @anneward.art , @ianrobertsartist , @flamebrush , Sarah Vedder, John Nava, @serranoartist , @c.kirkegaardframes, and @stevencurryartist. The @ojaivalleymuseum has been incredibly supportive and a wonderful venue.
