Celebrating our 13th season! Join us on the First Friday of each month, July through December, for a casual “Art Open House” from 4 - 7 pm. Meet our Featured Artists and enjoy the extensive display of their art for the evening. Enjoy beverages and light food, while mingling with friends and other art lovers.
Each event benefits a deserving Local Charity or Foundation, as the recipient of 10% of all sales during the event. Check the Schedule of Artists for a list of Artists we’re featuring this Season and the Charity featured for each event.
We look forward to seeing you here at THE LAKE HOUSE for First Fridays, where you can enjoy an evening of Friendship and Fine Art all while supporting a great cause.
A Southern California native, Linda grew up with equal passions for nature and art. Becoming a professional landscape artist was inevitable. Essentially self-taught in the basics of oil painting, she has been painting most of her life. She has worked relentlessly in the field and studio, as well as study with contemporary masters Ralph Oberg, Matt Smith, and Kathleen Dunphy, to perfect her craft.
My love of texture has taken me on many experiments from setting up roadside to gather passerby’s shoe impressions to marathon sessions creating my own clay stamps from found objects. The culmination of all of my experimentation has helped me to refine my designs and patterns into ones that truly represent my voice as an artist.”
This application felt more in harmony with the forms I love to throw, soft and rounded. I have been influenced by hard edges in my other work, but for these pieces, a natural flowing or erupting surface mimicking the natural world seems to be best. I am finding dozens of surface variations that in essence allow me to carve my work in a spontaneous way."
Dedicated to the live performance, promotion, and preservation of jazz as a unique American art form, the Blue Jay Jazz Foundation, a nonprofit 501c3 organization, supports music education in the San Bernardino Mountain communities and nurtures new generations of musicians while building interest and expanding audiences for jazz as both art and entertainment.
