Jason Luper

I try to allow the purest, most random thoughts to spill onto canvas, as if each painting is capture a fleeting moment of thought. Art, to me, is the expression of what cannot otherwise be spoken, a reflection of the human experience.

Recently I have been moving towards a series of "micro paintings", mostly 6"x6" but not limited to those precise dimensions. The idea being to collect them in small groups, the sum being more than the individual parts.

Kellie Dantzler

As a teaching artist I use my art to encourage out-of-the-box thinking, and to bring entertainment fetes that celebrate the beauty rhythms within you.

I have started an art movement called, "The Younique Experience." Under this umbrella, I have created all times of art activities, outreach programs, and performance workshops to encourage and support fellow artist and entrepreneurs in finding ways to pursue their art or life work, while exploring how to achieve financial freedom and security.

Cory Whitlock

I am always looking to find ways to share my love of surfing and surfboard making. My father Rusty Whitlock has been a professional surfboard shaper since 1963. He taught me how to surf and I went on to have a professional surfing career in the 90's. My younger brother Ricky has also had a professional surfing career and is now moving toward big wave surfing. In 1997 to further spread our family's love of surfing we started "The Whitlock Surf Experience" a surfing school that is dedicated to bringing our love of surfing to as many people as possible. Every year we teach hundreds of families how to surf and show them the art of surfboard making.

She studied art at City College, and Studio Art Center International, in Florence Italy before transferring to UCLA. Her art is inspired by music, poetry, mythology, the natural world, and especially by imagination and dreams. Her work is also influenced by her travels both in the United States and Europe. Much of her work features natural images such as trees, and constructed objects such as masks. Each of her paintings is an attempt to tell a story without words.

Elizabeth Joy Nelson

My Art Brings out the positive energy we need in life. My life has brought many struggles and the art that I bring to life I show on Canvas. My art work draws the audience in to the canvas to feel, think and be in the art moment themselves. As an artist I work hard in developing artwork that speaks to both myself and the audience. I try to incorporate designs colors and ideas with different lifestyles we go thru. The canvas speaks to me and I answer with the strokes on my brush.

I am Joy and love bringing art to life for others may it be big or small. In my past I served as combat marine. I use art to help with PTSD . I went to Columbus Art and Design where I learned how to incorporate life into art.

Jeannie Marshall Ortiz

Jeannie Marshall Ortiz was born in San Diego, California, and grew up near the beach in south Ocean Beach. The ocean, the sun, and a good breeze have always been her comfort and inspiration. She gradually got into making art, starting with drawing, beading, sewing, and spinning and dying wool. She also played the flute, enjoyed jamming, and was part of a modern dance group called Vanguard. The rhythm and flow of all these elements is seen in her artwork.

She made her first linoleum block print when she was 21, living in what she called her ‘birdhouse’ in Golden Hills, while going to Mesa College. She majored in Art and Spanish, and took her first sculpting class there, which felt like coming home. Continuing her studies at San Francisco State University she enjoyed lithography, and, of course, sculpting. Finishing up her B.A. in Art with an emphasis in Sculpture, she made her first figurative sculpture in marble.

During her time in ‘The City’, she started traveling in Mexico and Guatemala, with just a backpack, and stayed in ‘pensiones’. Jeannie visited many museums and galleries, small towns, lots of water falls, made many friends, and drew in pencil and ink wherever she went. While living in Coatepec and Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, she worked on a sizable sculpture in marble, made a variety of prints, a couple of smaller sculptures in wood, and lots of drawings. She also taught art and sculpting to various individuals, and ceramics to a sizable group at the University Extension.

Returning to San Diego, Jeannie raised three sons, earned teaching credentials, and taught bilingual elementary school children for nearly two decades, mostly in Vista. She used her Spanish a whole lot more than her art during that time.

Since retiring, she’s gotten back to sculpting, and even made a couple of prints.
She teaches sculpting to kids of all ages, and now has a single subject credential to teach art. In 2010, Jeannie participated in the Oceanside Sculpture Competition. She taught sculpting at Reach, an after school program run by the Vista Community Clinic, with a grant from the Kenneth A. Picerne Foundation in 2011. She was the featured artist of November 2011 at Vista Art Foundation’s Gallery 204. She teaches sculpting and mask making to elementary school students through ‘Kid’s College’, an after school enrichment program. She just learned to work in stained glass this winter, and loves the color and light. She also started making her first sculpture in olive wood recently. Jeannie shows her work at Artbeat on Main Street in Vista, and in the Artist Alliance shows around town.
