Sculptor, painter, and etcher Angie Whitson will be appearing at Solvang Antiques Fine Art Gallery as part of the venue’s Summer Art Series on Wednesday, Aug. 21, during a champagne reception from 2 to 6 p.m. Whitson’s work will remain on display at the gallery through Sunday, Sept. 15.
Whitson began her career as a painter while studying at the Pasadena Museum of Art (now known as the Norton Simon Museum). It was there that she also became interested in sculpture. Over the years, Whitson has created bronze busts of Leonard Goldenson, Bob Barker, Mike Wallace, Leonard Goldberg, Ernie Kovacs, and others for various studios and museums. The artist is registered permanently with the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., for her archival work on installed bronzes in the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
