ART:TWENTY-ELEVEN

This book contains examples of the work of thirty-eight artists from all across the United States, Canada, and England. Each year the artists gather in Ventura, California, to work in an Open Studio environment for two weeks. The synergy that builds during this time and the friendships that have developed among the group create an energizing atmosphere. Each artist is supported and challenged to develop a unique voice, and the result is this amazing body of work. The individuality of the work represented clearly celebrates the vision of each artist. Here is a collection of art work, five images and a personal statement of intent from each of thirty-eight artists. It is like a gallery exhibit, but you can hold it in your hands and go back as often as you like. Enjoy! It is the second in a series from the Open Studio Artists.
