New graduate’s work shown at Studio 7
John Eagle’s Studio 7 Gallery, 384B N. Coast Hwy., is hosting the opening reception of plein air paintings by Laguna College Art and Design BFA graduate Joey Leonard. The reception will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Dec. 4, during First Thursdays Art Walk.
Leonard’s work will be on display for the month of December. This reception is part of the annual December LCAD mentoring program at participating Laguna Beach galleries. The work will be for sale, with 50% of the proceeds going to the student and 50% going to the LCAD scholarship fund.
Growing up in central California, Leonard had an extensive background in music and began his formal education at Laguna College of Art and Design, receiving his BFA in Fine Arts. Focusing primarily on figurative art during school, he applies those skills he learned toward the landscape, painting the Hanford area.

Quilts on display at Wells Fargo
Eleven Laguna Beach quilters are showing their work at Wells Fargo Bank, 260 Ocean Ave., Laguna Beach. Quilts range in size from small wall hangings to queen-size bed covers. The quilters were brought together by longtime Laguna Beach resident and quilter Claudia Redfern, who has formed the “Loose Threads/Sew Inspired” quilt group.
The quilters range widely in experience, personal interest, and artist focus. They meet often to exchange ideas, critique each other’s work and share creative energies.
For more information about the group, call Redfern at (949) 499-1267.
