7th Annual Maritime Art Exhibit at Coos Art Museum
July 7 through September 9, 2000
A juried exhibition
of maritime art created by members of the prestigious American
Society of Marine Artists (ASMA) featuring the work of this year's
guest artist, June Carey from Chico, CA. A self-taught artist, June Carey
has been painting in oils for more than 20 years. June has developed a unique
style, incorporating both intense color and dramatic light effects, setting
her work apart from other seascape artists. Her work displays a vital representation
of the scenes she loves, bringing the viewer into the painting. Her depictions
of the Pacific coast have been included in notable exhibitions and private
collections throughout the United States. Ms. Carey, a Fellow in A.S.M.A.
and artist member of the California Art Club
(C.A.C.) and Oil Painters of America
(O.PA.), was the Region II winner in the prestigious national Arts For The
Parks competition in both 1997 and 1998. (left: June Carey, Surfing
