"Home Is Where The Heart Is"
Art Exhibit February 16 - 24 at the Union Coffee House
featuring the work of Red Bluff Artists Sandy Vegod and H. Anne Whiteman, begins February 16th at the Union Coffee House on Walnut Street.
A Reception will be held Friday, February 24th from 6 to 8 pm.
Sandy Vegod's training in oils began with 4 years of study under Whiteman (see photo), adding watercolor workshops by various artists including Robert and Sharon Long and Jan Kunz. Vegod has received many ribbons from the Tehama County Fair and recently two paintings were accepted to a juried show at the North Valley Art League. Vegod's favorite subjects are drawn from nature and have been embraced by fellow artists and collectors and hang in Baltimore MD, Suffolk VA, San Francisco and in Monterey County. While Vegod's originals are available, they are becoming more and more collectible.
H. Anne Whiteman's more than 30 year career was inspired by teacher Joyce Pike, who gained recognition as an important artist. Whiteman trained under famed Japanese artist Sadako Mano, official artist for the Queen Mary and Foster Books author. Whiteman taught in the Sadako Mano School of Art for a number of years as well as at Northridge California Woman's Workshop. Whiteman's studies, including the Alexander method, continued under some of the most well knows artists in the USA.
Though semi-retired, Whiteman participates in the Tehama County Fair taking many ribbons, is Secretary for the Red Bluff Art Association, and continues to teach privately. Whiteman's oils and watercolors are in demand by collectors both direct and thru the Internet.
Both Vegod and Whiteman will be available during the Reception on the 24th.
