Wildfires & Tornadoes
LAGUNA BEACH * Northern California artist Carol Pierce lias been painting the sky and land ever since ske can remember. For the past few years, after a trip to India and experiencing the Golden State's wildfire season, fire imagery has emerged in her abstract, Turner-esque skyscapes, in part because she is intrigued by fire's paradoxical quality. "Fixe is both dangerous and amazingly beautiful," Pierce says. This month Sue Greenwood Fine Art presents a show of works by Pierce and Southern California artist John Brosio. Brosio is known for his dramatic depictipns of tornadoes. The show runs November 5-30. For more information: 949.494,0669 or www.suegreenwoodnneart.com.

The roster of past members is impressive, including well-known modernist painter Mabel Alvarez and early California Impressionist Donna Schuster. Today, the organization consists of 250 members working in a variety of media. "Members get an opportunity to connect with other artists, participate in exhibits, and share a sense of camaraderie," says Nancy Lawrence, the organization's president.
