Anthony Beal is the featured artist during June at Aquafit Activities Center. With interests spanning teaching, art, wood burning, theater support, and stage building, Anthony brings a wide range of creative influences to his work. His artistic style often leans toward graphic arts and classic movie-poster aesthetics, featuring bold colors, sharp contrasts, and an abundance of imagination. Dynamic and engaging, Anthony’s artwork is best experienced in person.
Raini Armstrong is featured during June at Desert Hills Presbyterian Church in Yucca Valley with a smaller works selection, things 11×14 and smaller. Loving watercolor above all other mediums, Raini has built an extensive collection of small creations through her frequent watercolor workshops and countless hours of experimentation. Many of these pieces began simply as explorations of the medium, created with no particular goal in mind other than the joy of painting.
Show your support by visiting these venues and enjoying beautiful creations! For more information about these venues, visit the Schedule page. For more information about these artists visit the Members page and search for their name.
