A talented trio of longstanding valley artists are featuring their unique styles in painting and fine woodworking at the Cypress Gallery in Lompoc, Ca. This Summer exhibit showcases these artists’ work and how they explore the founding principles of artistic expression in Patterns, Spaces and Places. How these principles are explored is the challenge these three artists set for themselves both as individuals and in collaboration. An example of exploring in collaboration is when Neil Andersson and Deborah Breedon each created a painting by exchanging color palettes. Neil Andersson received his MFA in painting from the School of the Art institute of Chicago, and is a renowned jazz guitarist. Deborah Breedon was an art instructor at SBCC’s Continuing Education for over a decade. She still teaches privately. Chuck Klein is a fine woodworker and is a native of Santa Barbara. Working from local dead wood stock and focusing on natural forms, he has contributed to the arts community. All three artists show at Cypress Gallery and Gallery Los Olivos.
