MISTY BURRUEL - WATERCOLOR

"Living in the San Bernardino Mountains allows me to investigate a landscape that is in constant flux. Wish you were here... are a series of watercolors reminiscent of postcards. They reflect my direct experience with the environment through discovery and exploration by way of kayak, boat, and roadside. As a curious observer, I find the myth and beauty of landscapes intriguing. I am interested in the lucid quality of watercolor and how it allows for a sincere experience of light and space. My work presents moments that are honest, immediate, transient and seductive. These moments are both shared and isolated experiences" — Misty Misty Burruel received her Master of Fine Arts degree from Claremont Graduate University with an emphasis in Painting in 2002 and her Bachelor of Arts degree in Studio Art with an emphasis in Painting from California State University, San Bernardino in 2000. Misty’s studio expertise includes a range of traditional and contemporary media, and her teaching experience includes a variety of genres including Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, Installation, and Mixed-Media. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Art in the Art Department at Chaffey College.

DEBRA J. HOLLADAY   Painter

Debra, a native Californian, began her art career at age two with her Mother’s red lipstick as her medium and her cooperative dogs belly as her canvas!  Following her natural talent, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Advertising Design then moved to New York City, where she lived for six years.  During her time in N.Y., Debra studied portrait and figure painting at the Art Student’s League of New York with Hilary H. Holmes.  She also studied en plein air with Curtis Hansen for three summers, in Central park.  In 1996, Debra brought her enthusiasm and solid foundation back home to southern California, where she continued to pursue her love of painting.  Debra is a member of the California Art Club,  a founding member of Studio2310, and a charter member of the National Museum  of Women in the Arts.  Her preferred medium is oil on linen canvas or board, yet she enjoys other media such as acrylics, watercolor, ink & linoleum block printing.  This will be Debra's third year participating in our First Friday Events and we are very proud to have her back!

LISA MOZZINI - MCDILL   Painter

Download Lisa's CV

With over 30 awards to her credit, Lisa Mozzini-McDill comes to us with a very impressive background of painting Landscapes and Portraits, as well as years of teaching in her studio and en plein air.  Lisa graduated from San Diego State University with Honors, Distinction in Art and a BA in Graphic Communications. She describes her style this way... " Creating artwork that is realistic but loose, expressive as well as meaningful is an ongoing endeavor.  What I think about when painting is emphasizing an exciting play of light and shadow, an interesting composition, and enhancing a scene that evokes a deeper meaning or emotion in me.  It is my intent that this depth and emotion I feel will also be communicated and resonates with the viewer."  We are fortunate to have Lisa join our team of exceptional Artists here at The Lake House!
