Summer at Sundance

Summer Solstice marks the first day of of the new season, the season of blue skies, heat, and running to the shoreline, lake or mountain tops to cool from the radiating summer sun. Sundance has a new collection of paintings celebrating the season, big sky and cool ocean colors or mountain pines with night skies.

Fall Happenings

SEA CHANGE  I  SUNDANCE   I   PAPER TRAIL

NEWS FROM THE STUDIO OF NICOLE STRASBURG

May the change of the seasons find you well and thriving. There are just 5 days left to experience SEA CHANGE at Sullivan Goss in downtown Santa Barbara. The show will close on Monday, September 27th. Thank you to all the visitors who have reached out, letting me know you enjoyed the show. HUGE gratitude to clients taking work home, both to add to their collections and start new ones.

I want to thank Marilyn McMahon at the Santa Barbara Newspress for the spectacular spread in the Life section on Saturday, September 18th. Thanks also, to Kit Boise-Cossart for the wonderful studio interview in LUM Magazine. There is a catalog that accompanies the exhibit which is available both at the gallery and online HERE.


Fall means cooler weather, shorter days and often times, color! Leaves changing, clear crisp days and (fingers crossed) rain in the forecast. Honoring the change of season SUNDANCE has twelve new paintings celebrating the fall, plus a few others to choose from.

Recently opened in the main gallery at Sullivan Goss is PAPER TRAIL: The Life Story of Great Works of Art. This is an exhibition focusing on the significance of how art moves through the world and across time. My Overpass Series No. 5, a reductive wood block print created at the Atelier of Richard Tullis, can be found in this exhibit. It is a large print inspired by the San Francisco freeway system. This print traveled in 2015 with the exhibit titled California Dreaming through the Oceanside Museum of Art, Riverside Museum of Art and the Palazzo della Provincia di Frozinone before landing on the walls at Sullivan Goss. Exhibition runs through October 27, 2021.

Bare Limbs Painting at Sundance

Signs of winter are showing today, the trees are dropping the last of their leaves as the wind blows through the emptying branches and big clouds from the passing storm linger in the blue sky.
