This month we are exhibiting the art of:

Adam Longatti – Landscape Artist
Born and raised in California’s Central Valley, Adam Longatti’s paintings reflect both the unique beauty and often gritty reality of life in the San Joaquin Valley landscape. The majority of his work deals with the loss of agrarian values and regional history to the impact of suburban growth on the landscape. His works reveal the aesthetic of a specific place in time yet hints to underlying forces of change.

Edward Stewart – Abstract Artist
Edward is a Fresno artist working in an abstract expressionist style. He seeks to inspire thought and emotional reflection through the depths of color and shape. His art is inspired by his life and religious experience. Edward studied art at Fresno Pacific College under Robin Dolarian and has exhibited locally for several years. He is currently preparing a show for the upcoming Rogue Festival.

Christy Cole – Visual Artist
Christy Cole is most at home with nature-based subjects and invites viewers to share her unique viewpoints. Her media of choice are graphite pencils, acrylic paints and, more recently, watercolor. Ms. Cole has garnered much acclaim for her work and has won top awards at the Fresno Fair. Her business, Round Rose Creative, caters to clients throughout California who seek custom murals and other commissioned work. She also teaches art and other subjects through F.U.S.D. and Fresno Adult School. Christy resides with her little boy and a multitude of pets in Fresno.

Marcos Dorado - Figurative Artist
This month Marcos will exhibit a stunning series of portraits of famous guitarists!

Marcos’ work represents the human figure in graphite or charcoal on canvas. He also works on paper and wood. Exhibits include Gallery 402 (NYC), Tojo Gallery (Chicago), Mission Cultural Center (San Francisco) and at the Sundaram Gallery in Santa Barbara. His art is also found in private collections around the country and he enjoys a continuous flow of commissioned portraits and nude drawings. Marcos recently received a commission for the portraits of four NBA players include Sam Cassel of the Los Angeles Clippers.
