Gallery Los Olivos features two of its member artists each month. Currently, the gallery puts the spotlight on longtime member artists Vicki Andersen and Patricia Watkins. The exhibit is titled Color and Light, and runs through October. A reception is scheduled for Oct. 15 from 1 to 4 p.m.
Andersen is an acrylic painter who explores several themes. She was also a founding member of Gallery Los Olivos and the Cypress Gallery in Lompoc, as well as an active member of the Lompoc Mural Society. Her paintings are vivid and impressionistic, and she loves to work with a palette knife.
Watkins has been a Gallery Los Olivos member for 10 years after getting involved when she moved from San Diego to the Central Coast. She is a painter, but also a jewelry designer. Her jewelry will be shared in Color and Light, including pieces made with sterling silver, gold vermeil, beads, crystals, and gemstones.
Gallery Los Olivos is located at 2920 Grand Ave., Los Olivos. More info: 688-7517 or gallerylosolivos.com.
