Richard Stergulz has one-man show

Journey with award-winning artist Richard Stergulz through the streets of Rome and Florence, Italy. Come see faces and landscapes that inspired the artist on his first trip to the birthplace of the Renaissance.

Richard is an Illinois native who by the age of 8 knew he wanted to be an artist. He graduated from the American Academy of Art in Chicago in 1983, which began his successful commercial art career. After 12 years of doing commercial art, Richard felt it was time to fine-tune his fine art style.

Richard works in oils on masonite board. His work is mostly figurative and he has started plein air painting as much as possible. He also teaches class three times a week and does demos for most of the Art Associations in San Diego and Riverside counties.

Richard’s work hangs in galleries in Folsom, Idyllwild and Fallbrook, CA. His paintings have won numerous awards from Best of Show to People’s Choice.

An opening reception will be held in the Pinnell Gallery at 124 North Main Avenue from 4 to 7 p.m. Refreshments will be served. The show will remain on display until November 13.
