5 APR 2024 · DARLENE CAMPBELL: Darlene earned her B.A. in Art from the University of Redlands (1979) and her M.F.A. in Painting from The Claremont Graduate University (1986). Her work has been featured at the Nevada Museum of Art, San Jose Museum of Art, Loyola Marymount University, University of Redlands, the Laguna Art Museum, the Riverside Art Museum, Barnsdall Art Park, and the Frye Art Museum (Seattle). Darlene Campbell has also illustrated two published books. In 2004, one of her paintings was used as the cover artwork for D.J. Waldie’s book, "Where We Are Now: Notes From Los Angeles". Darlene currently teaches painting and drawing at the Laguna College of Art and Design. She has also taught on the University of Virginia’s Semester at Sea program. Darlene Campbell lives in Laguna Beach, California.
In what has become a hallmark of her work, Campbell employs beauty to disarm the viewer. To suggest history and age, she paints on either wood blocks or wood panels. Making use of golden-hued light and dramatic clouds, Campbell coaxes beauty out of the banal and, in so doing, mimics romantic 17th century landscape paintings.
MAIA PELLEGRINI: Maia has been drawn to and fascinated with the interplay between art and psychology throughout her life and career. Growing up in Laguna Beach, she is the daughter of Leah Vasquez, an artist, advocate, and talk show host. Maia's formal education in architecture became a means to manipulate form and structure to create spaces to relax busy minds. It led her to develop and explore possibilities and expand their mental capacities in the arts and psychology. She completed her BA in Visual Art at UCSD and MSW at San Diego State University. She developed a confident mindset with a vision of working with people directly, fusing different mediums and psychology. She acquired certification as a life coach and career, providing much success with clients, including those met with blocks, stagnation, and struggling to find balance, honoring truth within themselves and others. Maia continues to make art part of life, gravitating to three-dimensional forms, finding calm, and balancing the dominant left brain overload.

8 DEC 2023 · This month, Artwalking Radio brings you two guests, Ricardo, and Mike, as we explore their paths traveled and share life experiences - an artist's perspectives. All these guests have incredible histories and fascinating backgrounds, leading them to be passionate artivists artists called to action through their work. Artwalking is grateful to the Laguna Beach Beautification Council as its sponsor, which promotes and advances projects to enhance Laguna's natural and cultural beauty. Artwalking encourages listener support, including organizations and businesses advancing appreciation of natural resources that sustain the beauty of our surrounding environment. Each year, The LBBC recognizes and awards public and private beautification projects. It also acknowledges the Laguna Beach County Water District's generosity in hosting its meetings and awards ceremonies.
RICARDO DUFFY: Ricardo is one of those people we call bi-racial; that is to say, he is a bridge person. Bridge people begin with their legs planted in one place and end up with their arms outstretched to someplace else entirely. For Ricardo, the bridges have spanned the distance between Costa Rica, where he has one residence, and California, where he makes his home in Laguna Beach. The distance underneath, the subterranean land bridge that connects the two Americas, is what Ricardo and his work have come to exemplify: the complex social, political, and infinitely spiritual relationship between the Americas. As all artists choose an approach to expression, Ricarrdo's approach is truly that of the social commentator. He is not tempted by commonplace dialogue with society that gently seduces opinions. His art is more direct in approach and more confrontational. Ricardo often uses gentrified consumerist symbols to illustrate the farce of shat our modern-day monoculture has become. Ricardo toys with the true meanings of words such as alien, migration, class, acculturation, border, and spirit. Ricardo is a self-identified Chicano and freedom fighter at war with growing corporate colonialism and the growing genocide of our earth. Greed is the
cancer his art rebuffs.
MIKE BEANAN: MIke grew up in Northern California in a large working-class family. They camped every summer for two weeks in State Parks and remote national forests so Mike developed a close relationship with Nature. As teens, he and his brothers surfed the cold, wild waves north of Santa Cruz. Leaving high school, he was faced with being immediately drafted for the Vietnam War so he joined the Navy to avoid the Army. Somehow, however, he wound up being assigned to SEAL Team One as a point man and platoon sergeant. The experience made him a lifelong anti-war activist. Leaving the military after turning 21, he pursued an education and eventually became the Assistant Dean at UC Irvine advancing programs to help veterans and other non-traditional students to succeed in their education. While at UCI, as a SCUBA Instructor, Mike developed the first SCUBA Project for paralyzed veterans. Having a strong art background and always loveing the ocean, he moved to Laguna to become an artist and added political cartoons to the Sawdust Festival in 1984. He also remain determined to protect the Greenbelt. His activism included arrest actions to draw media attention to challenging the Toll Road and became part of BC Space's artivism projects.
