Catch the wave because San Diego’s art scene is pumping. First, congratulations to surfboard artist Tim Bessell who was just inducted into the class of 2023 San Diego Surfing Hall of Fame. Tim’s work has long been coveted worldwide by top wave riders, but he has really raised his work literally to museum status with creative artworks on surfboards including a mind-blowing collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation. Check it out online.

Meanwhile, the Quint Gallery in La Jolla has a vibrant collection of Canadian artist Monique Van Genderen’s coveted abstraction works. Perhaps one of the most cheerful collections in town. One painting is an entire wall. Big they are in size and impact, don’t miss!

And it was quite the debut opening buzz for the SD Art Advisory gallery in Mission Hills. Hundreds came to view and celebrate the multi-artist venue created by owners Alexander Salazar and Darcy Kempton. Not only are Alexander and Darcy seasoned and respected art advisors, Alexander has also garnered quite the following of collectors for his artwork as well. Check them out!
