She is experimental and unafraid to try styles and techniques I've never even seen done before. She can really work with ANY medium whether it's for sculptures, statues and any visual art. She's extremely impressive and we're so fortunate she brought her talents to Oceanside and opened up this new gallery. I've seen her restoration portfolio and it's just incredible what this woman is capable of. She hired me to sing for her gallery for the South O Walkabout on 2nd Wednesdays of each month and this is how we met. Her styles are suitable for private homes, corporate buildings, high end hotels and she really does believe in the "go big or go home" mindset. She works on large canvas and from the collection I've seen, as far as I can tell her talent for visual art is completely boundless whether you are looking to commission a piece or repair a statue/sculpture that's been damaged. Welcome to Oceanside Roberta!!

Vibrant colors are mixed with dynamic representations of nature, life, and an inspirational sense of inner strength. His work conveys the concept of awakening the spirit, and inspires one to search for a greater meaning from within. As an author, Greg Gutierrez is THE veritable "Steinbeck Of Surfing." San Diego's Union-Tribune refers to his work as "Mythological." There is a fluid and articulate poignancy to Greg's writing style. His book, "Zen and the Art of Surfing," available through his website, www.greggutierrez.com, is a collection of short stories which will excite both surfers and non-surfers alike. Real life and fictional experience are presented in a manner that is forthright and endearing in relation to the ali'i "Sport of Kings." The path to enlightenment is illuminated throughout the book via skilled metaphors and symbolisms of lessons that are realized, not achieved. For a brilliant artist and author like Greg, inspiring greatness has been achieved via the pathless embodiment of humble excellence!

He donned his Bob Ross wig and led us away on a fun experiment painting hummingbird birds. I believe it was the first time I actually painted anything on a canvas and I really had a great time.

Thank you Ethan, for the personalized gifts and we look forward to another visit.

The stars aligned as we roamed around Solana Beach like "locals acting like tourists" as I say. We're N SD peeps & honestly there is always something to explore. In between coffee cafes and consignment shops Cedros Art district is literally right up my alley. I just love the arts whether it's live music, photography, paintings, and/or you name it! We were warmly greeted by Anna & Ethan himself. Birds of a feather ~~ as I too dabble as an artist. He's hosts several events too! I'd like to return for one of those in person events. Once upon a time we joined one of his virtual "paint and sip" parties~~ via zoom at home. That was a lot of fun but now that pandemic has eased up on us we can interact in person again. If you appreciate the arts I'd highly suggest that you go and check out his works too! It took me a hot minute..but am so glad we finally made it! Now I'm inspired to get out my canvases and splatters some paint on them!!!

Another favorite was the walkway to the house that looks like a fish pond - very clever! She's got an endless imagination and a great talent - and she's really nice to work with.
