LEONARDO RANGEL
Leonardo Rangel is a self-taught illustrator and designer based in Salinas. He specializes in portraying people and communities – combining reality around him with the world of fantasy. His lines are surprisingly formal, but his colors are California-intense and bright. “This digital piece highlights the culture of Salinas and celebrates it through the various elements presented within the piece,” he wrote about the piece above, titled “Straight out the bowl.” “The Japanese flag also pays homage to the roots present before 1942.” Check out Rangel’s fresh and unique art on his website, leonardorangel.com.
ANNEMARIE CASSIDY
Annemarie Cassidy expressed herself for over 30 years as a professional makeup artist/stylist, creating characters and looks for singers and actors. It seemed a natural progression to move her abilities to the canvas. Cassidy’s love of landscapes and skies dominate her painting ventures. She is excited about exploring styles and mediums. “My paintings reveal quiet views of vast spaces that invite you to stand at the window to watch the weather coming or to step in and take a stroll through the landscape under a big sky,” she wrote about her works, which can bee seen now through April 28 at the Pacific Grove Art Center (568 Lighthouse Ave., Pacific Grove).
