THE PEACEFUL SEA: PAINTINGS BY KEVIN A. SHORT

August 11 - December 31

SBMM proudly presents The Peaceful Sea, an exhibition featuring more than 30 ocean-themed paintings by contemporary artist Kevin A. Short. Raised in Santa Barbara, Short began his art career by drawing on leftover butcher paper in the middle of the kitchen floor, and he went on to formally study painting at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Now shown and collected by art museums nationwide, his landscape paintings are among the most admired contemporary observations of the Pacific Coast and its subcultures.

On display August 11 through December 31, 2022

This curated selection of Short’s work—depicted in his signature style of bold, exuberant brushstrokes and vivid color—celebrates the artist’s longstanding interest in coastal life, offering an intelligent, impressionistic, and very personal take on the beauty of the ocean.

“There is magnetism in looking at glare and the effects of sunlight [on water]—something magical and calming that makes our troubles seem smaller and our thinking become clearer.”—Kevin A. Short

The Peaceful Sea: Paintings by Kevin A. Short is generously sponsored by Mimi Michaelis, June G. Outhwaite Charitable Trust, the Alice Tweed Tuohy Foundation, and the Wood-Claeyssens Foundation. The opening reception is sponsored by the American Riviera Bank.

Members are invited to attend a special preview on Wednesday August 10, 2022 
Navigators Circle 4:30pm-7:00pm; General Members 5:30pm-7:00pm

Artist’s Reception for The Peaceful Sea for members only. Join us for a champagne reception in honor of our painter Kevin A. Short. Help us celebrate the opening of this exhibit with complimentary wine, beer, champagne and light bites at the museum. RSVP to lfields@sbmm.org

The artist will be in attendance.
