Please join us for an Artist Talk with artists Jeanne Zaske and Lynnie Sterba. Enjoy this wonderful opportunity to talk in depth about their work, processes, and influences. Find out about the stories behind their paintings.

All are welcome!

The art show featuring a mother and daughter as artists promises to be a celebration of creativity and familial support. The dynamic between the two artists is characterized by a mutual influence, where each has played a role in shaping the other's artistic journey.

Despite having distinct artistic styles, the similarities in their work suggest a shared aesthetic sensibility and a common source of inspiration. The mother and daughter may have diverse approaches to their craft, showcasing a blend of traditional and contemporary techniques. The differences in their styles add depth and variety to the exhibition, providing viewers with a rich and diverse visual experience.

The theme of their paintings revolves around spreading joy, beauty, and inspiration. Both artists have a knack for creating pieces that resonate with positive emotions, uplifting the spirits of those who encounter their work. Their art serves as a testament to the power of creativity in bringing happiness and inspiration to people's lives.

Please join us for the opening reception of the art exhibition featuring PADA (Photographic and Digital Artists).

All are welcome! Light refreshments will be provided.

PADA is a collective of seasoned and innovative artists specializing in the continually evolving art form of photography. The youngest of the eight artists’ groups affiliated with the Palos Verdes Art Center, PADA members move toward creative exploration and excellence and adding knowledge of other art forms by sharing our ideas and techniques, critiquing one another’s work, engaging guest speakers, and participating in group exhibitions, workshops and field trips. Active participation by each member assures a rewarding association for all.

Our members’ approach to photographic art ranges from traditional “straight,” black-and-white silver gelatin prints produced in the darkroom to images meticulously crafted in the computer “lightroom.” Between these boundaries lies enormous variety, including light painting, scanner photography, collage and mixed media. In all cases, photography is involved in creating the artwork. PADA members draw from their diverse professional backgrounds--including education, journalism, psychology, engineering, computer science, medicine, as well as fine art and commercial photography--and bring a wealth of imagination. What they each share is a passion for using a camera to experiment, innovate and create unique windows through which to view the world.
