Day 348: We discovered a gem!

Artist, Irene Rafael does lovely work.

In her blog she mentioned a show ...

So Brandy and I drove to Lomita expecting to see ...

artwork on wall, and instead, we found more.
A gem!

Meet David Parsons, Founder and Executive Director,

Summer Studios Art Academy.
He has steadily built this amazing facility.

Since 2005, this wonderful space is not only an art school, 
offering classes, workshops, studios, gallery all with the 
goal of discovering and developing creative talent.

A large, inviting, accessible reference library ...

classrooms, labs, printing presses, a store,
ceramics labs and more ...
and then the gallery show on display...
