A pair of locals will be presenting their art together for the first time, but to them, teaming up is nothing new.
Renowned artist, Fielden Harper and her son, local artist Gus Harper, contributed to an exhibit of selected paintings at Robert’s Art Gallery at Santa Monica High School from March 23 to April 22. The artists’ reception was March 24 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Many joint paintings are being featured. Fielden Harper is a member of The Artists’ Gallery, or TAG, in Santa Monica. Her artwork has recently been selected for many corporate and public collections, including the J. Paul Getty President's Fund Collection.
