A short distance from San Diego’s International Airport and downtown area, a collaboration of professional artists have established studios in Arts District
Liberty Station, a beautifully repurposed 28-acre former naval training center.
Along with studios for working visual artists, the
Arts District is home to performance arts, community service groups, creative shops and restaurants. The work now is all about creating distinctive, inspired local art with the unmistakable influence and creative spirit of Southern California.
In the last year, many artists and art organizations expanded online capabilities for virtual touring, viewing, classes and purchasing, or moved their art outside. Veltz Fine Art is among these. Colleen Veltz, a dynamic force in the district, creates botanically inspired works often themed on gratitude and impermanence. Her gallery periodically exhibits work from top area artists. Lisa Bryson is the featured artist for April 2021.
During this pandemic, Bryson has taken the opportunity to develop work in response to the experience of “sheltering in place.” She continues to push figurative work into a realm between abstraction and representation, redefining the figure in the 21st century. She says that her approach to painting reconstructs the visual dialogue of the human experience. The April exhibit of selections from Homage Series will include several new paintings.
First Friday at Arts District Liberty Station is an excellent time to meet the artists, view new art and enjoy creative performances and art events.
