During the month of August, Gallery Los Olivos’ new website, Gallery Los Olivos Online, will be exhibiting landscapes by local painters Terri Taber and Carol Talley. Visitors of the site can view more than 20 different paintings from each artist, which are also available for sale. Deliveries are free to buyers within Santa Barbara and the immediate surrounding area, or purchases can be shipped for an additional charge.
Specializing in pastels, Taber resides in Santa Barbara and enjoys painting countryside landscapes. One of her goals as a landscape artist is to “provide to others through her artwork the freedom that she feels in these wide open spaces,” according to press materials. Taber is a member of the Pastel Society of the West Coast, the Pastel Society of America, the Santa Barbara Art Association, and the Goleta Art Association. For more info on the artist, visit territaber.com.
An art graduate of the University of California (Santa Cruz), Talley uses her abstract landscapes to “evoke the sense of both the familiar and the mysterious,” according to press materials, with emphasis on color, texture, and atmosphere. Famed actor and Monty Python co-founder John Cleese is among the collectors of Talley’s work over the years. Visit caroltalley.com to find out more about the painter.
