  • Carole McDonald

Carole is a native Californian who loves to create felted bags and to display and sell at the gallery. She is also a self taught oil painter, and she moved to the Central Coast in 2009 to pursue acrylics and water mixable oils.

“As a former Disney Imagineer, working at the happiest place on earth where art was everywhere and discussed every day, my imagination soared. More vibrant colors came to mind along with a general tranquil feeling… Little did I know I would retire to the happiest city in America. Small World.”

“For me, art is still about beauty. We respond t “For me, art is still about beauty. We respond to beauty, and whether it serves to calm, to delight, or to inspite, beauty is essential. It is an antidote to incendiary talk shows, dystopian, violent movies, and even pandemics. If I can, in my own small way, remind someone that we are surrounded with exquisite beauty if we stop and look, I am gratified.

Alan B. Cohen is attracted to contrasts of new and Alan B. Cohen is attracted to contrasts of new and old, created and found, weathered to highly finished. His sculptural art fabrications begin with items he finds washed up on west coast beaches. These objects generally speak to him about a direction or suggest an idea. He transforms his sculptures by adding old fishing tackle, rusted wire, tools, brushes, and other recycled objects to create birds, underwater creatures, masks and abstract pieces. Some pieces are simple and elegant, while others are whimsical and fantastical. #bigsur #travelcalifornia #art #alancohen pn
