“Bakersfield Jazz” by Christine McKee, one of 14 artists featured in The Californian's annual Eye Gallery art series. The acrylic, which measures 20 inches by 24 inches, will hang at the Bakersfield Museum of Art starting Sept. 9. McKee says of her painting: “Most of my work is abstract figurative with an ethereal quality to it. For this painting, however, I used bold shapes with vivid colors to represent the vibrant quality and excitement of jazz melodies.”

Eye Gallery is The Californian’s annual celebration of local visual artists. Along with The Bakersfield Museum of Art, our partner, we asked 14 artists to interpret the theme “Close to Home.” We will publish their work, and short biographies of each, on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays through Sept. 9, when the museum will host a reception in their honor.
