Check out these gorgeous acrylic pour and abstract paintings from the Atmosphere exhibit by local Oxnard-based artist Kimberly Davis. Her work is so uplifting!

Kimberly has been an amazing contribution to Art is Passion as one of the first artists to show their work in the space. Her can-do attitude and positive thinking is such a breath of fresh air. Thank you @gallery_davis for all that you do!

Come and see these beauties in person or online at artispassion.com. Use promo code SUMMERLOVE for 10% off through the end of the exhibit (July 16th).

:: ABOUT THE ARTIST :;
For Kimberly Davis, every painting is its own little journey. A native of Oxnard without formal training, Davis has honed her craft alongside the city itself – friends, family, diversity in her community, and the beauty of the surrounding nature have all contributed to an emerging artistic sensibility. Her early works varied in form and function; from collage assemblages in open-call exhibitions to public murals at local high schools. Landscapes and other works inspired by nature soon followed. Today, pour-painting finds itself at the fore of the artist’s style.

I’m absolutely in love with these whimsical sculptures by Sculptor Kim Clarke from the Ventura County Potter’s Guild [ @venturapotterygallery ] . I have never seen anything like them! They are so fun and unique, especially the goblets. Imagine drinking out of such a masterpiece 🤩.

You can check these out in all their glory at the Gallery in Ventura or online at artispassion.com.

:: ABOUT THE ARTIST ::
Playing with a ball of mud (clay) when I was very young started it. From the beginning transforming clay has struck me as magical. Clay is my key to the secret garden, my way down the rabbit hole through the looking glass and out again. Over the years, that magical process has had its way with me, leading me from hobby to professional artist and ceramics teacher. Ceramics fills me with a sense of accomplishment and integrity and has proven a most amenable vehicle for translating inner vision to outer reality. But basically, I create my figures because I am compelled to!
- Kim Clarke @clayplayay

Lost Dreams Watercolor series by Camarillo-based artist Nahzy Tabrizi exploring the essence of being out of place and the persistent wish to be free. On display till October 1st.

Art is Passion
864 Schooner Dr Unit 103
Ventura, Ca 93001
Open Tues - Sat 11AM to 7PM

The safety sought and the dire need of peace expressed in this series represents not only her wishes, but those of all children subjected to war environments. It is them whom the war confines, and what drove Nahzy to seek refuge within her dreams.

“The skies darkened by wartime seemed to show the way, but to where? Immured by surroundings that were impossible to make clear sense of, I struggled to find my way to a safe place. And in that struggle my wishes continued to grow and evolve, both guiding me and haunting me along the way.”
– Nahzy Tabrizi

Hand-carved and beaded jewelry by the lovely Cecile Gurrola Faulconer, a member of the Ventura County Potters Guild @venturapotterygallery. Such beautiful statement pieces! 💚💜💛 Available online at artispassion.com and in the gallery.

:: ABOUT CECILE ::
Influenced and inspired by the ancient mythology and legends of her Greek and Mexican ancestry, Cecile’s art has a style all its own, ready to be interpreted differently by all who view them. Whether Cecile goes to work with an idea in mind or with nothing of the sort, when her hands find the clay, her creative nature comes to life to create these masterpieces. Simplicity is a rarity, as curly eyelashes, shells, hand-crafted jewelry, and occasional metal screws are added to create diversity. Different firing processes are used including raku, a low-fire hands on firing. The magical raku firing process usually produces brighter colors, and generates metallic flashes of copper, gold or silver.

Check out these incredible watercolor landscapes by @nahzy_tabrizi. They are so tranquil and beautiful 🤤🤤🤤. Nahzy teaches watercolor classes at Camarillo Art Center and is one of the newly featured artists at Art is Passion. Love her work!

:: ABOUT THE ARTIST::

Nahzy Tabrizi studied art at Azad University in Iran and earned her B. A. in Art from the University of California Northridge in 2016. As a woman living in Iran, Nahzy felt the strain of everyday life with every breath that she took. She took to drawing as a young child, and developed her skills as a painter over time. The calmness and empowerment that she obtained by producing her work was the only thing that kept her going, and it became her main focus as a teen. The war between Iran and Iraq also had a profound impact on her and further compelled her to concentrate on her artwork. Nahzy now resides in southern California where she continues to follow her passion of producing and studying art. Much of her work embodies themes of nature, depicting serenity and tranquility but also invoking feelings of wariness. Showing her desire to be at peace shadowed by a towering past, she strives to secure a calmness but is ever aware of the impossibility.
