“I love to plein air paint because I am totally an outdoor person who must find some communion with nature daily. Nothing is better to me than walking near water and trees. Balboa Park has been one of my favorite subjects because of the variety of foliage and the beauty of the buildings and ponds. I have been lucky enough to travel with great teachers and paint lovely locations in Europe as well as the US. These days close to home means quite a lot to me so I would choose a beautiful California seaside park such as Laguna or Point Lobos because they both have gorgeous rock formations.” –Artist Sissy Alsabrook

Oceanside Museum of Art's Artist Alliance members were invited to submit artwork created en plein air for A Breath of Fresh Air, an exhibition taking place  in downtown Oceanside at the Brooks Theater Gallery.

Oceanside is one of only 14 designated California Cultural Districts and home to an eclectic, emerging art scene. OMA seeks to activate creativity in the community through partnerships with local organizations such as the  Oceanside Theatre Company at the historic Brooks Theatre in order to support our partners in
celebrating art and creative expression.

Artwork was juried and exhibition layout designed by Carol Naegele, Brooks Theater Gallery Curator. This is a plein air-inspired exhibition; all artwork was created outdoors on location or inspired by local outdoor scenes. Many artists submitted works created during OMA’s Plein Air Festival, which took place July 24-30, 2021. 

Each of these artworks are available for sale to adorn your home. For pricing and purchasing, please contact Brooks Theater Gallery curator Carol Naegele at cnaegele@oceansidetheatre.org.
