Jeff Irwin: Nature as Trophy .
This exhibition features major wall-mounted and pedestal pieces from nationally known ceramic artist Jeff Irwin’s “White Works Series.” The exhibit also includes a selection of works whose images are fired onto grids of ceramic tiles, then installed like framed drawings or paintings. Irwin’s work transforms the gallery into a wonderfully absurd Museum of Unnatural History whose collection gives insight into environmental issues in ways that can only be envisioned by an artist. Please contact Library Curator Mark-Elliott Lugo at (619) 238-6627 for more information.
Color Wheel Painting
Mission Bay High School students from Dee Parrish's art class have painted a vibrant array of art based on variations of the color wheel.

Ms. Hollingworth's interest in watercolor began when she was handed a set of watercolors by her eighth grade art teacher.

Her portfolio, developed at the museum, won her a scholarship to the Massachusetts College of Art where she earned a B.S. in Ed. After an art teaching stint in Connecticut she returned for her M.S. in Ed. from The University of Bridgeport. She has taken training in illustration and graphic design at UCSD and San Diego City College. Bella is a member of the San Diego Museum Artists' Guild and the San Diego Watercolor Society.
