This Month's Tawk
Turning Ideas into Art. In conversation with exhibiting artist, Bernard Trainor 

Drawing on thirty-five years of passionate commitment to the study and practice of landscape design, Bernard approaches his art through a personal lens of unique observations of both wild and built landscapes throughout the world. His art is focused on the lasting images he absorbed living on the edge of the Australian and Californian coastlines. Bernard will share how each painting is part of a thread in the series of works in his exhibition, Grounded, on view through February 9th. Learn more about the exhibition.

BERNARD TRAINOR: Grounded

FREE for members | FREE with admission

Meet Artist Bernard Trainor at a reception celebrating the opening of BERNARD TRAINER: Grounded, an investigative exhibition of fine art and design by this acclaimed Monterey Bay-landscape designer and artist. Grounded is the premiere viewing of Trainor’s paintings presented in concert with elements from his landscape designs, architectural renderings, site photographs, and studio and plein air sketches. The exhibition reveals the unfolding layers and practice that inspire Trainor to create meaningful landscapes – outside the studio walls and on canvas – and will make connections to both. This exhibition is curated by Lisa Coscino.
