Susan Manchester:
“A magnetic resonance with drawing is in my genetic architecture,” says Manchester. “The very sound of the word ‘drawing’ elevates my pulse. At an early age, I was sure my artistic endeavor was to remain in the many black and white realms of drawing and printmaking. My education included studies abroad at The Accademia di Belle Arti, and the Library of Prints and Drawings of the Ufizzi Gallery in Florence, Italy. In my printmaking classes, I had the rare good fortune of studying with visiting Maestro, Giorgio Morandi.
“I enjoyed working in the drawing-related fields of architecture, scientific (botanical) drawing, graphic design and teaching. These experiences animated my delight, deep curiosity and attention in the studio. I have exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the U.S. and my work is held in many private as well as institutional collections. I maintain a studio in Monterey, California.”
Alyssa Endo:
Endo is the Monterey Peninsula’s only large-scale reduction woodcut artist. A founding member of Open Ground Studio, Endo’s artwork seeks out the hidden meanings and subtext of an image, bringing it front and center.
Kim Campbell:
Campbell’s paintings and sculptures reflect her passion for nature and all things organic —the cycles of the earth, dreams, and the elements — and often incorporate sublimely blended colors and patinas. Her sculpture “Waterfall” is currently on view in our main lobby.
