Quorum Gallery Resident Artist Contact Jim: 310.218.2658 Quorom Gallery Page
About
Growing up in the West, I have always been drawn to sea and mountains, and to the work of artists who have interpreted these subjects. Today I find further motivation in the many new and expanding ideas about art, from representation to abstraction. My concern is not with copying what I see, but with expressing a feeling, a story or a visual idea. And I hope this produces work that evokes in the viewer a feeling of shared experience and a deeper connection with the natural world.

Quorum Gallery Guest Artist Contact Laurie: 714.371.3698 Quorom Gallery Page
About
Coastal Inspired Vibes “Since the time I could pick up a crayon as a little girl, I have been fascinated with color and creating beautiful images. Forty+ years later I am still coloring, so to speak. A Southern California native, I attended Art Center courses during high school and went on to UCLA to earn my BA degree in Design. I combine my talents and passion for exploration into artistic images, transforming my observations into expressions of sentiment. My latest work is around translating the amazing vibes of the ocean and beaches into semi-abstract oil and acrylic paintings - primarily scenes from the California coast and Hawaii. These newer paintings are part of a series entitled ‘Take Me to the Beach.’ The images I tend to create are centered around the richness I find in my personal adventures, those sentimental journeys we all take when we open ourselves to the wonder that surrounds us - from the beauty of the American landscape, to the dream of that ideal retreat. I like to focus on the simplicity of my surroundings to capture the essence of the moment. Now that I live in San Clemente, I am blessed to be surrounded by such beauty, and to have the opportunity to share my artistic expressions with the local community.” Laurie has served as a guest lecturer at Long Beach City College and as an instructor at San Clemente Art Supply. Her work has been commissioned by various individuals and organizations across the US. Several years ago she was honored to create a custom image for the City of Irvine to present to their Shanghai sister city. Laurie lives in San Clemente with her husband, Bret, and their dogs Baron and Paisley.

About
“I paint whatever I see that is striking…something that takes my breath away.” While Emilee admires watercolor pieces done in soft, light washes, she goes for “the gusto” and drama of bold, colorful artwork. Due to the vivid colors, many who view her work at first think the medium must be acrylic….and now she also uses acrylics in her “Paint Pouring” art pieces as well. Emilee accepts custom orders, and also specializes in personal paintings for her clients. These pieces are called “Favorite Things”. The piece is composed of the recipient’s….favorite things. Retired after over 30 years with the Walt Disney Co., Emilee lives and paints in Anaheim, California. She is a published artist, a Board Member and Juried Exhibitor at Laguna Art-A-Fair in Laguna Beach, a Juror, an Art Demonstrator and conducts Watercolor and Paint Pouring workshops and lessons at Laguna Art-A-Fair, Art Supply Warehouse/Catalyst and in her Anaheim studio.
