“These pieces were created after my hospital experience where I almost died twice.
They are dedicated to the doctors, nurses, first responders and healthcare workers who see death, tragedy and struggle everyday. Sending hope, encouragement and gratitude.” – Terri Quinn-Faucette
“Hello! Here are the images of the pavilion project I had mentioned. The project was an attempt to discover organic and interesting solutions to integrating natural contexts with urban city contexts (I have some preliminary study models that help visualize this). To develop this design I created a natural context using beach rocks and an urban context using wood blocks. I then experimented with pulpboard ribbons to weave the two contexts together, while also keeping them separate. The pavilion is meant to be a transition between the two. I then removed the support contextual elements and introduced a perforated material and a slightly transparent frosted material to develop enclosure within the pavilion. The final model was constructed using wood and paper materials.
Have a great day!” – Kyle Beedle

Art Central Gives Back
A local mom asked for help this past Christmas, and we offered gifts for her 3 children. She was kind enough to share her children’s art with us – apparently the gifts were a big hit!
It is because of all of you that support us that we are able to support our community.
Budding artists: Luisa is almost 14 years old, Isabella & America are 11 year old twins.
Art Central Artist Spotlight
Ardella Swanberg
Ardella Swanberg lived on a ranch near Cayucos, California from 1998 until 2015 when she moved to a home over looking Morro Bay Estuary. Ardella has lived in many places and enjoyed them all but the Central Coast is her favorite. Every aspect from the hills to the birds to the sunsets inspires her art. Her current subjects are landscapes and seascapes of the Estero Bay area and portraits of all the different kinds of people in the USA. Now you can see her paintings here at Art Central!
Ardella loves to invent new color schemes, new compositions and new ideas in her works. Her media are watercolor, oil, and acrylics. She also enjoys such diverse processes as book making, journaling, sculptural fabric figures and printmaking. She might use only one medium in one project and several in the next.
Her motto is “There are no rules in art.”
We are proud to represent Ardella Swanberg in our gallery. View her work during your next visit to our store, on display in the Gallery during store hours.
