4th Friday Art Walk Reception with Beverly’s family
February 28th 5:00 – 7:00 PM
“This is a memorial tribute to my wife and long-time traveling companion who passed away in June 2018. Beverly was a graduate of Hollywood High School, Los Angeles, CA. In the early fifties she was a student at the Chouinard Art Institute in L.A. where she studied watercolor and oil painting with Max Brandt and Ed Reep. For almost twenty years, we lived in Cambodia, Thailand, Morocco, Egypt, New Zealand and Venezuela. In Cairo, she learned the art of applying oil paints to Egyptian cotton stretched over bas-relief copies from the tombs of ancient Egyptians. Prior to that, she made black and white and sepia rubbings of temple scenes in Cambodia. Beverly was an avid quilter and active in other aspects of fiber arts. She was also a printmaker who created collectible greeting cards.
I decided to call her show, ‘An Odyssey’ because our time together was a long and wondering voyage. When you see the collection together it is clear that Beverly used her art to document everything she saw and experienced.
‘The Carousel’, a watercolor was one of her last works. Alzheimer’s had set in and if you take the time to look at it, you can sense a myriad of fanciful memories from a life that has come full circle.
Beverly believed in the power of art and for this reason, her family wishes to donate part of the proceeds from the exhibition to the ‘Tis STEPS Art Education Program for Children.” ~ Gerry Ginnelly with additional notes from conversations with Gerry by Patti Ortiz 2019

Debra Sutherland Core:I began my artistic career early in life. Born into a family of artists, teachers and jewelers in Denver, Colorado. I won my first competition at the age of 17. After high school, I moved to California and attended Santa Monica College, where I studied drawing, painting, and design. Upon graduation, I gained experience in almost every facet of the art community. My experience, includes working as an art consultant, representing artists, fine art publishing and placing art in corporate collections, residential, and hospitality.
It finally came time to start painting again in the year 2000 doing commissions and more study in painting and drawing. Most recently I won a major competition at the University of Iowa for a Jackson Pollock inspired fashion piece.
In 2007 I began creating digital paintings for fabric design. Using a photograph of my paintings I begin to play with the image in a Photoshop program. The inspiration I get from my art is always changing and expansive.
::My art is about taking conventional ideas and going to a macro lens of the human eye to a micro level of a design and detail.
::Using patterns, shapes and layers of mediums and color to create textures and depth.
::All work is planned sketched out on the paper or canvas. Once the idea is laid out the creative process can begin for me.
::Influenced by nature, science, architecture, textiles and any material that exists in our natural world.
The finished piece is a joyful expression of what I feel and see in life…..
