July 2024 Featured Signature Artist: John Budicin

July 2024 Signature Artist of the Month: John Budicin of San Bernardino, California

“Most subjects I paint are everyday places, that with the right light, become magical. The intimacy which develops between artist and nature can not be expressed any other way. The relationship between artist and nature is like any other relationship, it takes time to nurture. The artist observes, and learns to see what nature presents. He becomes one with nature getting to know her and listening to what she has to say. Eventually he will be an instrument of nature; representing the beauty, the light and effects as interpreted through the artist’s eyes.”–John Budicin

Featured Signature Artist :Calvin Liang

May 2024 Signature Artist of the Month: Calvin Liang of Corona, California

Calvin Liang was born in Canton, China. He began painting in high school and completed his art education at the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, recognized as one of China’s most prestigious and competitive art academies. In China, his skills as a fine artist were applied to the theatrical industry where he designed and created sets for operas and musical dramas for the Canton Opera Institute. Liang moved to the United States in 1987 and continued his profession as a full-time artist. He had a long and successful career creating visual art for the entertainment industry in animation, which included the Walt Disney Studios and Nickelodeon Studio where he worked for the Little Mermaid and Spongebob Squarepants. However he decided to quit working for the studios to pursue a full-time career as a fine artist, painting themes of his choosing. Since leaving his animation career in early 2002, Liang has definitely been noticed.

LPAPA's Featured Artist Member Mike Ishikawa

May 2024 Artist Member of the Month: Mike Ishikawa of Palos Verdes Estates, California

Mike paints for the love and joy that painting gives him.  He does not want painting to become a business, where selling your paintings become the sole purpose of your enjoyment,  so Mike paints because he likes it.  He sketches while on trips and has filled 20 sketch books, with pen and ink sketches.  During the Covid lockdown, he complied many of his sketches into a, spiral bound travelog sketch book with over 300 sketches.  He donates many paintings to charity, has staged art shows where profits go to charitable organizations and even sells some.  He has won awards in many local and national art exhibitions and is a member of several art groups, including the Laguna Plein Air Painters.
