Laura Culver: Photographs

Born in Oakland, Ca, BS Graphic Design, UC Davis, Past Career in Advertising
Resident of San Rafael, CA.

"For the last decade, my primary medium has been Hand-Painted Photography. After taking photos of California Landscapes, I print them in black & white on archival (acid-free) paper, and then add color by hand, using specialized oil paints and/or colored pencils. My Hand-Painted Photographs have won awards from State and Local competitions, including 5 awards from the Marin County Fair."

Noel Stubblefield - Paintings

"All my life I have had a passion for art. In 1994, I began painting in watercolor and enjoy the color variations, freedom of structure and transparent tendencies. As my focus, I attempt to make still, silent objects come alive and dance across the paper. Simple beauty of natural forms is my expressive goal. I continue to search for inspiring images that are sensual or unique in shape and rich in color" - Noël

Susan Fan–Brown - Photography Exhibit

An accomplished studio photographer and an expert at digital photo manipulation, Susan has photographed for a long list of local, regional and national companies. Clients she has worked for include, among others; Duty Free Shops, Century Theaters, Sharper Image, Carrera y Carrera, Sephora, Grace Baking and Restoration Hardware. Susan also has developed a unique style of children’s and teen’s portraiture. Starting from a strongly traditionalist sense of lighting and composition, she calls upon her mastery of modern digital imaging tools to create truly stunning and memorable portraits. As an artist, Susan attempts to explore the simple but sophisticated beauty to be found in nature. From the fresh spring leaf to the last gasp of a wilting flower petal, she strives to distill her imagery down to the elegant essential element. www.susanfanbrown.com

The Georgia Annwell Gallery

The Georgia Annwell Gallery, part of the Community Media Center of Marin, is located at 819 A Street in downtown San Rafael. The gallery was named after Georgia Annwell, an eclectic artist and prolific producer at CMCM. As a member of CMCM and the Novato Arts Center at Hamilton Field, Annwell created over 150 exhibitions while also working on the production of a three-part documentary series titled “Senior Artist of Marin.”

"Great art challenges not only the viewer but also the artists who create it. Most artists paint what they know and do it to the best of their ability. A few artists take on creative work that challenges their knowledge and reveals their inabilities. However, when they do overcome this kind of challenge, they realize that the rewards are huge. Artists who need ongoing reassurance that they are on the right track may miss the opportunity to reach past their comfort zone to experience the thrill of pleasing themselves with a painting that shares the truth of their view of the world."

Allan Babbitt - Photographs

Alan Babbitt creates one-of-a-kind images with an offbeat, quirky view of the world and a dry sense of humor. He was born with poor eyesight, only partially correctable (Don't let him drive your car). Whether from ignorance, stubbornness or over compensation, he has blindly refused to face the facts. Instead, he has specialized in visuals his whole life.

Bernard Healey - Paintings

Bernard Healey is a long time Marin County resident who loves the coast and the natural land and water that make Marin a paradise. Most of his painting career has been focused on landscapes and waterscapes in acrylic paints on canvas. He favors heavy brush strokes and impasto combined with delicate washes, giving vigor and movement to his cloud formations and mist arising from the wetlands. The California coast has always provided an endless source of inspiration for his paintings.

Tom Roughley - Paintings

Tom discovered a unique medium that he uses to create paintings that glow and change with the light. Photographs of the paintings don't do them justice compared to viewing in person, with changing light and available perspectives. Tom has been experimenting with mobiles and ceramics since he began painting in the 1960's.
