Art at City Hall: From Traditional to Abstract

This month, the Alhambra City Hall Art Lobby will feature two artists: Joan Whitmore, a resident of Alhambra, will be sharing her new series of ocean-inspired paintings, and Kimberly-Ann Talbert of Ventura County will showcase her floral photography, watercolors, and mixed-media art.

Joan is a CalStateLA graduate with a degree in fine art. She has worked in ceramics, glass fusing, collage, photography, and more. Joan has won numerous awards for her pieces. She has chosen to share her “fluid art” at this show, a series of ocean-themed paintings that capture the nuance and diversity of waves. The gorgeous colors and compositions make her paintings a delight to ponder.

Kimberly-Ann is also an award-winning artist who works in mixed media, though her passion is digital photography. The exhibition will display lovely floral photography and mixed-media pieces. She regularly shows her art and photography in her home in Ventura County and locally. Her purpose is to share with viewers how she interprets the everyday world using enhanced colors, thus adding a sense of awe and beauty to things one might otherwise ignore or take for granted.
