Tom Wade
Photography is about documenting the world around you. We make pictures to help others see things differently. People tend to naturally overlook the obvious. But there are real stories in those moments. Surf photography brings people closer to the ocean. It helps others pay more attention. Seeing things with their heart. Focusing on detail. Drawing us closer into the now.
Photographs must connect us emotionally. They need to generate ideas about beauty. I photograph the surf because it is healing and continuous. The ebb and flow of life. Draining us away, rising above the challenge, I am inspired by ocean moments because being near it is the greatest thing. My goal is to make surf photographs with intention. And hopefully inspire others to do the same.
Joe Vickers
My name is Joe, and I am a surfer and artist here in Southern California.
I was born and raised in Florida, where my love for the ocean first began. As a kid, I spent my free time surfing, fishing, diving… anything that brought me near the water. I also loved drawing, and was constantly experimenting with different styles. When I later moved to California, the Pacific Coast inspired me to join my passions of ocean and art. I have since developed my own surf art style, using mixed media to create unique combinations of lines and color.
Currently, I live in Orange County with my wife, daughters and puppy. I feel incredibly lucky to be sharing my art with you.

Jesse Kerr
Rooted in San Diego, California. Currently living and working in Encinitas, Ca. Also lived and worked in Los Angeles and Berlin, Germany.
Drawing is my foundation. I love to draw, always have, always will. Through drawing and painting, my artwork often explores relationships and tension points I see in our modern environment; such as my own connection and simultaneous disconnection to nature, humans & nature, money vs. nature, as well as observations of man-made environments, technology, and culture, in relation to the natural world.

George Hullenbaugh
Just got into oil painting a few months ago. Right now I enjoy painting portraits and painting in different hues of red. For the past few months I have been obsessed with the different styles of layering a thinning oil. Oil is definitely a different beast. Looking to hang a few of my painting up rather than store them a top my secretaries. A bad habit I have is between waiting for oils to dry I start a new painting. Constantly there is a circle of paintings in rotation. My favorite artist is Michael Hussar. His oil paintings are fa-nominal.

Photographic art of North San Diego County
I create postcards, note cards, greeting cards, calendars, prints and canvas prints of beautiful North San Diego County. I am a regular at the Oceanside Days of Art, and the Carlsbad Street Fair. You can find my product at Little Louie's, in Oceanside, and Linda's Gift, in Carlsbad. I am a California native, and I moved to Oceanside in 1966. After a 17-year stint in Colorado, I moved back home in 2007, and never looked back. I LOVE sharing my home through my photography.

Lauren Nygard
Honoring the tradition of Dia de los Muertos, these images reach into the celebration of families gathering to pray for and remember those who have passed on. The spiritual journey of those in eternal rest is dignified with the beauty of the women posing as la Catrina.
Collaborating with other artists to create these Dia de los Muertos images was such an honor. Working together, we were able to come up with different looks for each model--who were able to express their visions through the images captured.

Rick Keene
I try and take advantage of all aspects of sunlight and its colorful and often mysterious effects to create unique works of photographic art that really makes you think.
It all started with my Dad taking pictures of us kids. Then it was me taking pictures of my kids. And while they didn't like it at the time, they now love being able to see those special moments in their lives that help them remember what it was like to be a kid.
For me, photography is a huge part of my life. Even when times are tough, what better way to get away from it all than by simply taking pictures of beautiful things. To do something I am passionate about ever since I was a kid is a dream come true. I've been taking beautiful pictures for years. Especially since the pristine Dana Point Headlands are my backyard and the Pacific Ocean is my swimming pool. I couldn't ask for better surroundings to allow my creative spirit to flow.
Add my fascination with nature, an eye for patterns, and deep understanding of light and its effects, and they all come together for making what I believe are truly unique and colorful works of photographic art that is worth sharing.
From Bakersfield to Balboa to Dana Point. My passion for capturing special moments in time has been there throughout. Photography to me is about so much more than just taking pretty pictures
