Dennis Peak
New Work
DatesJune 3, 2021 – July 5, 2021
This show has given me the opportunity to further explore some ongoing series, as well as to try something new. The confusion and uncertainty of the world's past fourteen months definitely impacted my work. I had more time to paint. While I often found solace in exploring familiar themes, my paintings sometimes took me in surprising directions. I still remain thoroughly engaged with abstraction, and I continue to write stories in paint that can be read differently and understood personally by each viewer.

Peggy Jelmini / Richard Tette
California Landscapes
DatesJuly 8, 2021 – August 2, 2021
Peggy Jelmini and Richard Tette pair up for a dual Showcase exhibition. The two painters depict warm and serene scenes of familiar, Central Coast environments. Their interpretations and techniques in handling their mediums vary: Tette’s pointillistic application of acrylic paint may seem in contrast to Jelmini’s gestural expressionism in oil, however they are both naturals at depicting the essence of each landscape they create from their imaginations or their memories.

45 Years Later and Old Enough to Know Better...
DatesJune 3, 2021 – July 5, 2021
Lucas Blok and Will Bullas serendipitously crossed paths (as fate would have it) 45 years ago. Along with their wives’ support, both decided to inject themselves and their artwork into the local art scene.
Three years later they had their first dual show at the Robert Louis Stevenson School Art gallery.
43 years later they are having their second dual exhibition in the Beardsley Room of the CAA.
They felt it was about time.
