He studied art history with Rainer Crone and Ettlinger, painting with Jacob Lawrence and Michael Spafford, color with Dahn, a student of Albers, sumi-e with George Tsutakawa, and Chinese brush with Hsai Chen. In the 1970s ReeL wrote on art for Vanguard, ArtExpress, High Performance, ArtWeek,  a weekly column for the Bellevue Journal-American daily newspaper, and was arts editor for the Seattle Voice city magazine. He sat on the Seattle Arts Commission Special Task Force for Media, and the Special Task Force for Educational Institutions in the Arts. For half a decade he taught art history, color theory, life painting, and design at the Seattle Central Community College before leaving Seattle in 1984, coming to California in 1995.   Selected Exhibition History Solo and Two-Person 2018   Erik ReeL, Gray Space gallery, Santa Barbara 2017   Epiphany, Porch Gallery, Ojai, California 2016   Full Circle, Morris Graves Museum of Aart, Eureka, California 2014   Silence, SCIART, Camarillo, California 2014   Rebar, Museum of Ventura County,  Ventura, California 2014   Standing in Boots, w/ Nash Rightmer, WAV, Ventura 2014   Featured artist, City Clerk's Office, Ventura City Hall, Ventura, California 2013   Tabula Rasa, 643 Project Space, Ventura, California 2013   Suite Spot, Ventura Executive Suites, Ventura, California 2012   60 @ 60, Ventura, California 2011   Signs, Vita Art Center, Bell Arts Factory, Ventura 2011   Markings II,  B Street Space, Oxnard, California 2011   Markings I,  B Street Space, Oxnard, California 2009   Viva la Vida, Laurel Ventura gallery, Ventura 2009   Turbulence, w/ Vonder Gray, Gallerie 255, Ventura 2008   Erik ReeL at the Love House, Ventura, California 2008   Caruso Woods, Santa Barbara, California 2008   Faculty Club, University of California, Santa Barbara 2006   Autochthon, Caruso Woods, Santa Barbara 2005   Indonesian, Caruso Woods gallery, Santa Barbara 2004   Faculty Club, University of California, Santa Barbara 2004   Musician's Den, Caruso Woods Gallery, Santa Barbara 2003   3 Venues, Santa Barbara Film Commission 2003   Faculty Club, University of California, Santa Barbara 2003   Night Balcony, Delphine Gallery, Santa Barbara, California 2002   Delphine Gallery, Santa Barbara, California 2002   Vinland, Delphine Gallery, Santa Barbara, California 2002   Yaman Rag, FC, Unversity of California, Santa Barbara 2001   Faculty Club, University of California, Santa Barbara 2001   Gardens of the Night, Delphine Gallery, Santa Barbara 2000   Dreams of Paradise, Delphine Gallery, Santa Barbara 1988 -

  • Galina Richardson
    Galina Richardson
    Visual Arts: Illustration, Other, Painting; Fine Art, Watercolor, Charcoal, Pastel, Mixed Media
    Galina Richardson was born in Volgograd, Russia and has been drawing and painting ever since she was a young girl. Growing up, she was also interested in languages and she ultimately sought a formal education in the field of linguistics. While working as a technical translator in Surgut, Western Siberia, Galina met her American husband. She soon joined him in Ventura, California and has called this coastal city her home for more than twenty-five years. Galina studied graphic design at UCSB and for many years worked as a graphic designer, creating logos, advertisements, posters and brochures. She went on to work for the FBI in Los Angeles as a language analyst, but her passion for art remained. Mostly self-taught, Galina is a passionate watercolorist. She loves the freedom, spontaneity and delicate nature of the watercolor medium. Capturing people in all their uniqueness has been the main driving force behind Galina’s artwork and her two daughters often provide inspiration for her paintings. Galina frequently exhibits at the Buenaventura and Thousand Oaks Art Associations, where her artwork has received recognition from her peers and the public. She paints plein air, enjoys life figure drawing, attends classes and workshops taught by renowned local and international artists, including Keiko Tanabe, Nick Runge, Cuong Nguyen, Gerald Brummer, Paul Jackson, Jeannie Vodden, and Judy Koenig. Galina is also an avid runner and has recently reached her goal of completing 50 marathons.

    Tobie Roach
    Visual Arts: Illustration, Painting
    Mainly I am an artist, though I wear a few hats: Public Art Project Manager for the City of Ventura California, and other various creative ways to make a living while still being loyal to the arts. I also LOVE to make stuff. Paintings, collage, sculpture, enamored with repurposing things, whatever inspiration brings. I guess you'd like to know that I was educated. Firstly by life experience, many mentors and teachers, so far, but more formally I have a BA in Fine Art from Cal State Channel Islands. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to study (and continue), in depth, what it is I love so much.I've done a bit of traveling, met a lot of people, enjoyed working as a personal assistant to very amazing people. I look and listen within frequently. I've endured my fair share of life lessons. I've been the giver and receiver of a lot of love. I am grateful.
