Fallbrook Art Center presents virtual Artist Guild Show

FALLBROOK – Due to the COVID–19 pandemic, the Fallbrook Art Center is unable to present its Ninth Annual Artist Guild Show in the gallery. Instead, the show is presented virtually online May 17– June 14.

For the first time, all works are available for online purchase. Visit http://www.fallbrookartcenter.org to view the 80 works selected by the juror.

Private in person viewings, incorporating safety protocols, of any paintings of interest may be scheduled by calling Mary Perhacs at 760-522-4025.

This year's show juror, Hasuyo Miller, grew up in Hawaii and received her BFA from the University of Hawaii. She is grateful to have been exposed to a variety of cultural arts and excellent teachers and said, "It was a visual and exciting enrichment with perspectives from all over the world."

Miller's quest to further her learning led her to live and study in New Mexico, Texas, and eventually led her to California where she received her MA degree from San Jose State University in 1982. Miller has had the opportunity to teach at multiple colleges including the University of Hawaii, Palomar College and Mt. San Jacinto College.

She is now a full–time studio artist and gives workshop presentations. She believes exploration is a constant play of ideas and techniques and states that, "it is an honor to live and love the creative arts."
