Dinner Demo with Kevin Gleason
Last day to register is Friday, January 31, at 5:00 PM
My art combines two of my greatest loves: exploring beautiful wild places on foot and drawing with a paintbrush. When I am out scouting places to set up my easel, I am searching for a combination of two things: an intriguing natural subject that speaks to me on a literal level mixed with a sense of light and atmosphere that tugs
at me emotionally.
I was lucky to grow up in South Lake Tahoe with miles of wilderness, mountains, lakes and creeks literally in my backyard. I then came to Santa Barbara for college and again experienced living in a beautiful setting, this time with oak woodlands and the Pacific Ocean. The fun challenge for me as an artist is to try to capture the essence of this amazing world we share and translate it into paint in a way that communicates with fellow nature lovers. To me, a painting is a handcrafted translation of a moment in time. I like to hang them on my wall as a visual reminder to visit those places again soon.

Dinner Demo with Scott Kiche
Last day to register is Friday, February 28, at 5:00 PM
Scott Kiche is a contemporary artist from Los Angeles. His work ranges from traditional realism to Surrealism. The artist was born in Guatemala in 1974, and, at the age of five immigrated to the U.S with his family. Like many artists Kiche's journey in art began at a very early age. His natural talent along with the encouragement of teachers and family helped to create in him the commitment to become an artist. Some of the masters who have influenced his work are René Magritte, Salvador Dali, and Diego Velazquez. However his work is almost completely influenced by Surrealism. He enjoys the vast vocabulary and expressive freedom that surrealism offers. He has exhibited works in Mexico City, Virginia, Washington D.C, Maryland, Chicago, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas. His work was on tour with the realism guild in a two year traveling museum exhibition that explores the current state of realism in the 21st century. He also has received awards in several group shows and magazine publications.
