The Sullivan Goss Gallery in downtown Santa Barbara— arguably the top gallery in Santa Barbara for new artworks— recently sponsored an exhibit of work by Westmont art professors. Mentors and Makers: The Artists of Westmont College featured each of our full-time studio artists—SCOTT ANDERSON, NATHAN HUFF, and MEAGAN STIRLING—and work by CHRIS RUPP, collections manager, and JAMES DALY and SOMMER ROMAN. In their statement about the exhibit, the curators wrote, “The art department at Westmont College has always had an outsized influence on the art scene of the region, but tucked away in its bucolic Montecito campus, it can be easy to overlook how much concentrated talent is found there. Westmont’s arts faculty consists of some of the most intriguing, adventurous, and distinct artists working in and around Santa Barbara, though their work is making waves over a much larger area.” Along with finishing his seascapes for the new show, Scott Anderson contributed interior illustrations for the December editions of MAD Magazine and a portrait of the musician Dave Matthews for Seattle Met. 1 Column Content Background Color White Heading...
