THE 2021 ARTISTS

JENMARIE INK

Artist Jen Howell works primarily with alcohol inks on many mediums. It has been nearly three years since Jen has picked up art, although she has always been a creative. Whether it be music or photography, Jen has always had a creative outlet.

LODI COMMUNITY ART CENTER

They host open juried competitions, display student art,  offer classes and workshops, and much more. The mission of the Lodi Community Art Center mission is to stimulate and encourage interest in, and a study of the Visual Arts.

TONY SEGALE & DOUBLE DIP GALLERY

Tony Segale has been a professional artist since 1983, receiving several International Commercial Sign Design awards. His hand lettering, gold leaf and murals can be seen throughout the area of Lodi, CA. Tony has also earned several awards painting watercolors, and has been accepted into national, state and local exhibitions.
A perpetual student of art, Tony believes there is no barrier between commercial and fine arts, both are self taught and discovered by the trials and errors of drawing and painting.

GEOGEE

George Kardoos, 93, and his wife, Linda, started making art about ten years ago. George created some sculpturing and stonework. Wanting to start painting, he worked with pastels which he enjoyed until his eyesight started deteriorating. He learned that he had AMD macular degeneration and his sight was fading. That did not deter him. He found a new way of creating art- acrylic pours on canvas. He has since moved to using vinyl records.

SEE.HAY.PAINT

Art has been a part of my Hayley Johns for as long as she can remember. She creates bold, colorful, joyful pieces to help bring happiness into a home. Her love of art and background in teaching led Hayley to create a space for children to explore creatively. She now teaches weekly children’s classes and creates take home art kits for all ages. Hayley believes art should be accessible and affordable to all and love sharing her art and teaching with the community!

LAZARSKI FINE ART

“To experience the beauty and joy of our existence here on earth is the path to achieve great happiness.”

Lazarski’s intention as an artist is to share some of this beauty from my perspective. The paintings attempt to explore the nuance of nature, inspired by working outside, en plein air. When not painting on location, the artist enjoy returning to his studio to work on commissions and in-depth studies.

Primarily self-taught, MJ Lazarski has followed a nontraditional path to professional art career from a thorough study of the masters and contemporaries alike. Developing his composition, color harmony, tone, light, perspective, and brushwork skills help me portray paintings that are simultaneously engaging and inviting. Among his many influences are Bierstadt, Sargent, Hopper, Tischler, and Cesar Santos.

PLEASANT CREATIVE CO.

Kelli is a local graphic designer and digital artist. She enjoys channeling her love of houseplants, humor and retro design styles into her work. When not making art, Kelli can be found adequately mothering her two daughters, taking walks while listening to podcasts, or wondering if her back pain is because of how she slept last night or just because she’s in her thirties now.

O’SULLIVAN IMAGES

Darrell O’Sullivan is an artist and photographer. His current focus is on nature and landscape photography. He is passionate about revealing nature's beauty and expression through photography. Photographic images come from a vision that “the end print is not meant to represent reality”, it represents an “ideal vision of reality”. He is currently the Vice President and Photography Show Chair for the Lodi Community Art Center as well as the President of Elk Grove Artists. O’Sullivan regularly contributes signed, framed and matted photographic art to fundraising events to the KVIE Art Auction, Crocker Art Museum, UC Davis Children's Hospital, Serotonin Surge, Western Neuropathy Association, UC Davis Free Clinic Fundraising, UC Hospice, San Joaquin County Hospice, Cancer Society, and more.
