STEVE MUNCH, ARTIST


Column By: Stephanie Hogue
Posted: 02/04/12

It is whale-watching season and there are lots of beautiful whales passing through the channel. Local photographer and gallery owner, Steve Munch, has been spending lots of time out on his boat capturing their beauty in photographs.

We are so lucky to have such an incredible national park in our own backyard and the Steve Munch Photo Gallery is a great place to come and see all its beauty.

Bio:

A life-long surfer and former commercial fisherman, Steve Munch has spent most of his life in, on, or near the ocean.

A 25-year resident of Coastal Ventura County, Steve starts everyday either with a surf session or a photo session depending on the waves or the light. With no formal training to influence him Steve has developed a style that is unique and captivating. The coastal series collection has been created in the last 2 years and is currently being displayed in galleries and private collections across the country.

In addition to his coastal and wildlife photography, Steve shoots professional motorcycle racing and surfing. His work has been published numerous magazines including Surfer, Coast, Surfer's Journal, Superbike, Motorcyclist and Sport Rider. He has also had work featured for commercial use by clients such as ESPN, SUZUKI, JASON PRIDMORE and QUICKSILVER.

DIANE YUNCK-NEALE, ARTIST


Column By: Terry Bray
Posted: 02/04/12

Diane Yunck Neale completed a Bachelor of Arts degree in the fine arts and French language from the College of Wooster, in Wooster, Ohio. During her studies she traveled to Europe and was deeply influenced by the collections in the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, which left an indelible mark on her painting style.

She continued in painting and graphics at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York where she studied painting under Ralph Wickiser. Next she began teaching art in elementary schools, which helped her see the potential for creativity in the next generation of artists.


She and her husband later moved to Malibu where her husband worked in the film industry. When her children were school age, she began emphasizing on her art career development. She has been exhibiting her fine art professionally since the late 1980's. Her national recognition began in an interview with Diane Hines, which was published in the American Artist Magazine.

Collectors recognize her varied subject matter, her lush colors, unusual point of view, and especially her generous use of paint that produces a distinctive style that is warm, vibrant and exciting. Additionally unique in her style is that she works in a wide range of painting sizes many up to several square feet large.

Yunce-Neale's art is on display at the Gallery At The Crowne's "Spring ' 12" Exhibit. For more information, see column below.

ART SHOW BY MAGGIE KILDEE,
STEVE RICHARDSON & RICH BRIMER

Column By: Debbie Fox, Gallery Curator
Additions By: J. B. Robinson
Posted: 12/31/11

Steve Richardson, Rich Brimer, and Maggie Kildee will display their art at Fox Fine Jewelry from January 19 through March 19, 2012. An artists' reception will be Saturday, January 21th, 6 - 9 p.m.

Steve Richardson grew up surfing and fishing in southern California, and this influence is apparent in his work. He also teaches art, with a focus on people with autism.

When painting outdoors in the midst of the excitement and focus, Steve Richardson makes a connection with nature that is revealed in his art.

Born in 1964, Richardson began drawing and painting in early childhood with the influence of his oldest brother who was a gifted artist and published cartoonist. Growing up surfing and fishing the Southern California Coast, Steve developed an affinity for Nature, especially the ocean, which led him to the commercial fishing industry at the age of 14.

In 2002, Steve's passion for painting was rekindled and before long, his work started winning awards and the praise of his peers. In 2009, he began teaching art to people on the autism spectrum.

We can see the influence of those years spent on the ocean in his work today as he takes us to those places that give him that sense of awe. From early morning fog being lifted off the cliffs at Ledbetter Beach to the last rays of sunshine bouncing off the clouds of a passing storm at the Carpinteria Bluffs, Richardson's paintings are filled with Impressionistic Color. These Impressionistic Colors create a sense of light that you can almost feel. His work is something to be experienced, not just viewed.

Richardson's work has been collected in England, Spain, Germany, and Canada and throughout the United States.
