Steven Fruzyna

I lived in Chicago for a few years and recently moved back home to Southern California. I have been painting for a couple years and recently got into portraits. My influences for my art work derive from graffiti, tattoo art and street art. I'm really excited about being a part of the art community in Oceanside.

Falicia Ferrer

I was born and raised in the Inland Empire and moved here to Oceanside in October of 2014. I grew up loving art and have known how to draw and paint since I was younger. I paint with acrylics and love to use lots of bright color or just plain black and white. Art is such a perfect way to express emotions and the bright colors show such happiness. Black and white are my two favorite colors together and the silhouette of a female face or body expresses such simple beauty. I am a new out coming artist and Zen of a Woman will be my first show I will be participating in. I look forward to being in more shows in the future and any support will be very much appreciated.

Anne Fagan

Anne Fagan paints people caught in the act of being themselves. Her love of life is reflected in the relaxed calm and contentment of her guileless subjects: friends, family and random strangers who pique her interest. Simple, quirky, direct, with minimal background and a light palette, Anne’s paintings convey a mood as much as a story.

Much of Anne’s work derives from the sunny beach towns of North San Diego County where she grew up and still lives and paints. Her collection also includes subjects from her travels in Europe, Mexico, and the Hawaiian Islands.

Anne Fagan’s paintings are in private collections around the country.

Firelight Ladies

Amalia is originally from Chicago,IL and moved to beautiful Oceanside one year ago. Amalia brought with her a deep passion for flow art which is a type of interpretive dance using various props and dancing styles. It all started at a young age when she participated in many different forms of dance and baton twirling. Amalia got her hands on some fire poi when she was 18. After being active in the Chicago music scene she evolved into a fire performer by the time she was 21. Unlike many physical arts, learning flow arts (poi, fans, hoops) does not usually involve formal education. A strong sense of community and self-teaching are key elements of modern flow art. She found herself performing for music festivals and clubs in Chicago along the way she keeps adding to her list of props to dance with. Fire is the passion element and Amalia has a passion for dancing with fire. Being new to Southern California she is determined to start a fire flow performing group. She's currently reaching out to the San Diego flow community looking for others to perform with. During the the day you can find Amalia working at Apotheque spa where she does hair and teaches a fitness Hula-Hoop class in the spring and summer.

A Sonic Blast from the Past…

Classic Rock & Roll Instrumental Guitar featuring the music of The Ventures, Link Wray, Duane Eddy, plus 50’s & 60’s hits, Surf tunes, and of course those classic Beatle rockers!

I’ve been a resident of Fallbrook since 1999. When I first arrived I didn’t know any musicians in the area, so I began experimenting with using pre-recorded back-up tracks to accompany my guitar playing. This led to developing a jazz/Latin guitar sound which I called “Guitar Moods”. For the next 10+ years I played in and around the Fallbrook area, most notably playing for a year at the old Wildwood Restaurant and another year at Rio Rico in Bonsall. In addition, I played at several other restaurants in Fallbrook, as well numerous times at the Fallbrook & Cultural Center. I also played at private parties throughout the area.

After retiring “Guitar Moods” I developed a real love for instrumental rock n’ roll music from the late 50’s early 60's. This included artists such as The Ventures, Duane Eddy, The Shadows, Link Wray, and many of the surf bands that recorded in the pre-Beatle era of rock n’ roll; groups like The Chantays, The Lively Ones, The Pyramids, and the Astronauts. This is first generation rock n’ roll that evokes an era of simply having fun, along with a good beat to dance to.

Out of this has come my latest musical venture...a “virtual” band I call “Frankie & The Invisibles”. Playing electric guitar~along with high quality instrumental accompaniment which I personally arranged and developed~I’ve created a full band sound that works really well in many venues where a more “energized” sound is wanted, but full bands are not an option. Over the last 14 months I’ve played a variety of venues in Fallbrook, Bonsall, Escondido, as well as Carlsbad and Encinitas. In addition I’ve done many gigs in Old Town Temecula, which has developed a very dynamic music scene over the last few years.

As a guitar player for 45 years, I have immersed myself in a variety of styles from Rock n’ Roll, Blues and Jazz, and even Classical. The one constant has always been my love of the power and passion expressed through the guitar.
