The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM) is pleased to announce the opening of its latest exhibition Coastal Moments, a presentation of 10 local plein air artists and their works incorporating coastal landscapes and ocean themes. The exhibit kindles a sense of calm, serenity, and meditation while celebrating the awe-inspiring beauty of the world’s coastline.
Featured artists include Ann Shelton Beth, Nancy Davidson, Camille Dellar, Rick Garcia, Derek Harrison, Wyllis Heaton, Ray Hunter, Ann Sanders, Thomas Van Stein, and Ralph Waterhouse.
Plein air painters capture a moment or impression of the landscape, immersing themselves in their surroundings to paint what they see before them. First popularized by the Impressionists, this technique allows the artist to utilize changing light effects, shadows, and brilliant color palettes to achieve the ever-changing wild and natural world.
The exhibition is generously sponsored by George H. and Olive J. Griffiths Charitable Foundation; Mimi Michaelis; The June G. Outhwaite Charitable Trust; and Wood-Claeyssens Foundation.
